Separating snow and ice melt using water stable isotopes and glacio-hydrological modelling: towards improving the application of isotope analyses in highly glacierized catchments by T. Müller, T. Müller, M. Fischer, M. Fischer, S. N. Lane, B. Schaefli, B. Schaefli, B. Schaefli

“…The modelling of catchment-wide snowmelt isotopic composition proves challenging due to uncertainties in precipitation lapse rate, mass exchanges during rain-on-snow events and snow fractionation. The study delves into these processes and their impact on model results and suggests guidelines for future models. …”

Environmental vulnerability characteristics in an active swarm region by A.V.H. Simanjuntak, U Muksin, A. Arifullah, K. Lythgoe, Y. Asnawi, M. Sinambela, S. Rizal, S. Wei

“…The research objective was to investigate the characteristics of the earthquake swarm in the Toba Caldera from the spectrum of the earthquake waveforms, site frequency, and horizontal-to-vertical ratio of sites.METHODS: The spectra of very closely located swarm and nonswarm earthquakes were analyzed to investigate the differences between both types of seismic events. The seismic spectral ratio of horizontal-over-vertical components was applied to calculate the spectrum in the active swarm region from all newly installed seismic sensors. …”

Kleist vs. Musschenbroek – a difficult way to truth by Jerzy Sawicki

“…It may come as a surprise that the first two works on the history of electrical research written in the eighteenth century by Daniel Gralath and Joseph Priestley correctly and profoundly convey the course of events and the priority of Kleist’s discovery. It turns out that the French untrue version of the history of this finding is still alive, especially in European countries, so that pupils, students and physics enthusiasts receive a false message about this important discovery. …”

Comparison of Illumina and Oxford Nanopore sequencing data quality for Clostridioides difficile genome analysis and their application for epidemiological surveillance by Semeh Bejaoui, Sofie Holtsmark Nielsen, Astrid Rasmussen, John Eugenio Coia, Dorte Terp Andersen, Tobias Bruun Pedersen, Martin Vad Møller, Marc Trunjer Kusk Nielsen, Dorte Frees, Søren Persson

“…As a result, Nanopore-derived phylogenies were not as accurate as the Illumina reference, and therefore inadequate for precise investigation of transmission events. Both sequencing platforms provided comparable, satisfactory results for the detection of virulence genes tcdA, tcdB, cdtAB and in-frame deletions in tcdC. …”

Lithuanian exile press during five decades of soviet ban by Silvija Vėlavičienė

“…Meanwhile, much effort was made to disseminate emigrant publications in Lithuania through other unofficial means since the publications served as an open window to a free world in an occupied country. The main event, which marked the beginning of cultural infiltration by emigrant representatives, was the journey of junior Lithuanian emigrant basketball players and the accompanying delegation to Lithuania, during which particularly large numbers of emigrant publications were brought and distributed. …”
