Sensitivity of Very Small Glaciers in the Swiss Alps to Future Climate Change
Very small glaciers (<0.5 km2) account for more than 80% of the total number of glaciers in midto low-latitude mountain ranges. Although their total area and volume is small compared to larger glaciers, they are a relevant component of the cryosphere, contributing to landscape formation, local hydrology, and sea-level rise. Worldwide glacier monitoring mostly focuses on medium-sized to large gl...
متن کاملBrain Science: From the Very Small to the Very Large
We still lack a clear understanding of how brain imaging signals relate to neuronal activity. Recent work shows that the simultaneous activity of neuronal ensembles strongly correlates with local field potentials and imaging measurements.
متن کاملFrom Small to Very Large Scale Optimization
Abs t rac t We introduce some methods for constrained nonlinear programming that are widely used in practice and that are known under the names SQP for sequential quadratic programming and SCP for sequential convex programming. In both cases, convex subproblems are formulated, in the first case a quadratic programming problem, in the second case a separable nonlinear program in inverse variable...
متن کاملEvidence of significant contribution from CYP3A5 to hepatic drug metabolism.
CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 exhibit significant overlap in substrate specificity but can differ in product regioselectivity and formation activity. To further explore this issue, we compared the kinetics of product formation for eight different substrates, using heterologously expressed CYP3A4 and CYP3A5 and phenotyped human liver microsomes. Both enzymes displayed allosteric behavior toward six of the s...
متن کاملUse of an ultra-long-range terrestrial laser scanner to monitor the mass balance of very small glaciers in the Swiss Alps
Due to the relative lack of empirical field data, the response of very small glaciers (<0.5 km) to current atmospheric warming is not fully understood yet. Investigating their mass balance is a prerequisite to fill this knowledge gap. Application of the direct glaciological method is one option. Since most recently, terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) techniques operating in the near infrared rang...
