10 February 2015      • Visit Scientific Reports • Submit your manuscript to Scientific Reports     Welcome to your Table of Contents e-alert for Scientific Reports               Earth & Environmental Sciences               Sulphur geodynamic cycle ▶     Takanori Kagoshima, Yuji Sano, Naoto Takahata et al.     Evaluation of volcanic and hydrothermal fluxes to the surface environments is important to elucidate the geochemical cycle of sulphur and the evolution of ocean chemistry. This …             Precise positioning with current multi-constellation Global Navigation Satellite Systems: GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou ▶     Xingxing Li, Xiaohong Zhang, Xiaodong Ren et al.     The world of satellite navigation is undergoing dramatic changes with the rapid development of multi-constellation Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs). At the moment more …             From Dust Devil to Sustainable Swirling Wind Energy ▶     Mingxu Zhang, Xilian Luo, Tianyu Li et al.     Dust devils are common but meteorologically unique phenomena on Earth and on Mars. The phenomenon produces a vertical vortex motion in the atmosphere boundary layer and often …             Muographic mapping of the subsurface density structures in Miura, Boso and Izu peninsulas, Japan ▶     Hiroyuki K. M. Tanaka     While the benefits of determining the bulk density distribution of a landmass are evident, established experimental techniques reliant on gravity measurements cannot uniquely …             Contrasting responses of Central Asian rock glaciers to global warming ▶     Annina Sorg, Andreas Kääb, Andrea Roesch et al.     While the responses of Tien Shan glaciers – and glaciers elsewhere – to climatic changes are becoming increasingly well understood, this is less the case for permafrost in …             Convergence of soil nitrogen isotopes across global climate gradients ▶     Joseph M. Craine, Andrew J. Elmore, Lixin Wang et al.     Quantifying global patterns of terrestrial nitrogen (N) cycling is central to predicting future patterns of primary productivity, carbon sequestration, nutrient fluxes to aquatic …             Interbreeding among deeply divergent mitochondrial lineages in the American cockroach (Periplaneta americana) ▶     Christoph von Beeren, Mark Y. Stoeckle, Joyce Xia et al.     DNA barcoding promises to be a useful tool to identify pest species assuming adequate representation of genetic variants in a reference library. Here we examined mitochondrial …             Seismologically determined bedload flux during the typhoon season ▶     Wei-An Chao, Yih-Min Wu, Li Zhao et al.     Continuous seismic records near river channels can be used to quantify the energy induced by river sediment transport. During the 2011 typhoon season, we deployed a seismic array …             Water column productivity and temperature predict coral reef regeneration across the Indo-Pacific ▶     B. Riegl, P. W. Glynn, E. Wieters et al.     Predicted increases in seawater temperatures accelerate coral reef decline due to mortality by heat-driven coral bleaching. Alteration of the natural nutrient environment of reef …             Ionic Polymer-Coated Laccase with High Activity and Enhanced Stability: Application in the Decolourisation of Water Containing AO7 ▶     Xiaolin Zhang, Ming Hua, Lu Lv et al.     Eliminating dyes in environmental water purification remains a formidable challenge. Laccase is a unique, environmentally friendly and efficient biocatalyst that can degrade …             Zero Valent Iron Significantly Enhances Methane Production from Waste Activated Sludge by Improving Biochemical Methane Potential Rather Than Hydrolysis Rate ▶     Yiwen Liu, Qilin Wang, Yaobin Zhang et al.     Anaerobic digestion has been widely applied for waste activated sludge (WAS) treatment. However, methane production from anaerobic digestion of WAS is usually limited by the slow …             Measurement and mitigation of nitrous oxide emissions from a high nitrogen input vegetable system ▶     Shu Kee Lam, Helen Suter, Rohan Davies et al.     The emission and mitigation of nitrous oxide (N2O) from high nitrogen (N) vegetable systems is not well understood. Nitrification inhibitors are widely used to decrease N2O …             Evidence of micro-continent entrainment during crustal accretion ▶     S. Pilia, N. Rawlinson, R. A. Cayley et al.     Simple models involving the gradual outboard accretion of material along curvilinear subduction zones are often inconsistent with field-based evidence. A recent study using 3-D …             Appropriate Fe (II) Addition Significantly Enhances Anaerobic Ammonium Oxidation (Anammox) Activity through Improving the Bacterial Growth Rate ▶     Yiwen Liu, Bing-Jie Ni     The application of anaerobic ammonium oxidation (Anammox) process is often limited by the slow growth rate of Anammox bacteria. As the essential substrate element that required …                     • Careers & Jobs           naturejobs.com Science jobs of the week       Postdoctoral Fellow     Karolinska Institutet (KI)            Research Assistant     Queen Mary University of London            Postdoctoral Research Scientist     The Babraham Institute            Research Associate     The Sainsbury Laboratory (TSL)            Postdoctoral Fellow     UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas            Bioinformatics Scientist II     Children's Hospital of Philadelphia            PhD Position Available     University of Miami            Ph.D. position     University of Antwerp - Belgium            Junior Group Leaders     Université de Lyon            2 Junior Research Group Leader Positions     Center for Chronic Immunodeficiency at the University Medical Center Freiburg          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.
