The formation of cold, dense water in the …             Early magnitude estimation for the MW7.9 Wenchuan earthquake using progressively expanded P-wave time window ▶     Chaoyong Peng, Jiansi Yang, Yu Zheng et al.     More and more earthquake early warning systems (EEWS) are developed or currently being tested in many active seismic regions of the world. A well-known problem with real-time …             Network Structure and Community Evolution on Twitter: Human Behavior Change in Response to the 2011 Japanese Earthquake and Tsunami ▶     Xin Lu, Christa Brelsford     To investigate the dynamics of social networks and the formation and evolution of online communities in response to extreme events, we collected three datasets from Twitter …             An MFC-Based Online Monitoring and Alert System for Activated Sludge Process ▶     Gui-Hua Xu, Yun-Kun Wang, Guo-Ping Sheng et al.     In this study, based on a simple, compact and submersible microbial fuel cell (MFC), a novel online monitoring and alert system with self-diagnosis function was established for …             Earlier vegetation green-up has reduced spring dust storms ▶     Bihang Fan, Li Guo, Ning Li et al.     The observed decline of spring dust storms in Northeast Asia since the 1950s has been attributed to surface wind stilling. However, spring vegetation growth could also restrain …             Trophic interactions induce spatial self-organization of microbial consortia on rough surfaces ▶     Gang Wang, Dani Or     The spatial context of microbial interactions common in natural systems is largely absent in traditional pure culture-based microbiology. The understanding of how interdependent …             First known Terrestrial Impact of a Binary Asteroid from a Main Belt Breakup Event ▶     Jens Ormö, Erik Sturkell, Carl Alwmark et al.     Approximately 470 million years ago one of the largest cosmic catastrophes occurred in our solar system since the accretion of the planets. A 200-km large asteroid was disrupted …             Innovative three-dimensional (3D) eco-TiO2 photocatalysts for practical environmental and bio-medical applications ▶     Hyun Uk Lee, Soon Chang Lee, Young-Chul Lee et al.     It is known that water purified by conventional TiO2 photocatalysts may not be safe enough for drinking, due to the toxicity by tiny existence of TiO2 nanoparticles after water …             A tree-ring reconstruction of the South Asian summer monsoon index over the past millennium ▶     Feng Shi, Jianping Li, Rob J. S. Wilson     The South Asian summer monsoon (SASM) is a major atmospheric synoptic climate system affecting nearly a quarter of the human population. Climate proxy data derived from tree …             Removal of floral microbiota reduces floral terpene emissions ▶     Josep Peñuelas, Gerard Farré-Armengol, Joan Llusia et al.     The emission of floral terpenes plays a key role in pollination in many plant species. We hypothesized that the floral phyllospheric microbiota could significantly influence …             A Series RCL Circuit Theory for Analyzing Non-Steady-State Water Uptake of Maize Plants ▶     Jie Zhuang, Gui-Rui Yu, Keiichi Nakayama     Understanding water uptake and transport through the soil-plant continuum is vital for ecosystem management and agricultural water use. Plant water uptake under natural …             A less or more dusty future in the Northern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau? ▶     Xingqi Liu, Zhitong Yu, Hailiang Dong et al.     Dust plays an important role in climate changes as it can alter atmospheric circulation, and global biogeochemical and hydrologic cycling. Many studies have investigated the …             First retrieval of hourly atmospheric radionuclides just after the Fukushima accident by analyzing filter-tapes of operational air pollution monitoring stations ▶     Haruo Tsuruta, Yasuji Oura, Mitsuru Ebihara et al.     No observed data have been found in the Fukushima Prefecture (FP) for the time-series of atmospheric radionuclides concentrations just after the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power …             Brachiopods hitching a ride: an early case of commensalism in the middle Cambrian Burgess Shale ▶     Timothy P. Topper, Lars E. Holmer, Jean-Bernard Caron     Ecological interactions, including symbiotic associations such as mutualism, parasitism and commensalism are crucial factors in generating evolutionary novelties and strategies. …                     • Careers & Jobs           naturejobs.com Science jobs of the week       Postdoctoral Researcher     University of Utah            Research Associate     King's College London            Senior Research Associate     University of East Anglia (UEA)            PhD Programme in Molecular Cell Biology     University College London (UCL)            Postdoctoral Research Scientist in Cancer Genetics and Evolution     Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics            Research Assistant / Postdoc     Stanford University School of Medicine            Postdoctoral fellow     University Hospital of Cologne            PhD Student     University of Oulu, Faculty of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine            Postdoctoral Researcher     Louisiana State University            Research Fellow     The University of Nottingham          No matter what your career stage, student, postdoc or senior scientist, you will find articles on naturejobs.com to help guide you in your science career.
