In Situ Measurement of Local Hydrogen Production Rate by Bubble-Evolved Recording by Xiaowei Hu, Liejin Guo, Yechun Wang

“…In this paper, optical microscopy of superfield depth was used for recording the hydrogen bubble growth on Cd0.5Zn0.5S photocatalyst in reaction liquid and illuminated with purple light. By analyzing change of hydrogen bubble size as a function of time, we understood that hydrogen bubble growth experienced two periods, which were inertia effect dominated period and diffusion effect dominated period, respectively. …”

Rôle des environnements dans les origines et l’évolution de la bipédie chez les hominidés : exemple des zones boisées sèches de l’Afrique by Brigitte Senut

“…Whereas open savannah is no longer recognized as a good original environment in which bipedal locomotion emerged, dry forests deserve more attention and the structure of the Miombos woodland offers an interesting possibility of throwing light on the acquisition of erect bipedalism. This category of vegetation is composed of large trees with vertical trunks distant from each other, which may have favoured a mixed locomotion associating bipedalism and climbing in the ancestors of Australopithecines and humans. …”
