N-Losses and Energy Use in a Scenario for Conversion to Organic Farming by Tommy Dalgaard, Chris Kjeldsen, Nicholas J. Hutchings, Jorgen F. Hansen

“…The aims of organic farming include the recycling of nutrients and organic matter and the minimisa-tion of the environmental impact of agriculture. Reduced nitrogen (N)-losses and energy (E)-use are therefore fundamental objectives of conversion to organic farming. …”

Optical widefield nuclear magnetic resonance microscopy by Karl D. Briegel, Nick R. von Grafenstein, Julia C. Draeger, Peter Blümler, Robin D. Allert, Dominik B. Bucher

“…While cameras have significantly advanced optical, infrared, and electron microscopy, imaging nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signals on a camera has remained elusive. Here, we employ nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond as a quantum sensor, which converts NMR signals into optical signals that are subsequently captured by a high-speed camera. …”

The alignment of the accelerator modules of the Cool Copper Collider C3 with the Rasnik 3-point alignment system by van der Graaf Harry, van Bakel Niels, Bouwens Bram, Breidenbach Martin, Haase Andrew, van Heijningen Joris, Koushik Anoop Nagesh, Nanni Emilio, du Pree Tristan, van Remortel Nick, Vernieri Caterina

“…The system should operate in ambient air, in vacuum, and in liquid nitrogen. Due to the heat dissipation of these components, bubbles are formed, causing an error in the measured alignment when crossing the optical path. …”

Calculation of Theoretical and Empirical Nutrient N Critical Loads in the Mixed Conifer Ecosystems of Southern California by Joan Breiner, Benjamin S. Gimeno, Mark Fenn

“…Edaphic, foliar, and hydrologic forest nutrient status indicators from 15 mixed conifer forest stands in the Sierra Nevada, San Gabriel Mountains, and San Bernardino National Forest were used to estimate empirical or theoretical critical loads (CL) for nitrogen (N) as a nutrient. Soil acidification response to N deposition was also evaluated. …”
