The quasicrystal, with composition Al71Ni24Fe5, was discovered in the Khatyrka meteorite, a …             Asymmetric warming significantly affects net primary production, but not ecosystem carbon balances of forest and grassland ecosystems in northern China ▶     Hongxin Su, Jinchao Feng, Jan C. Axmacher et al.     We combine the process-based ecosystem model (Biome-BGC) with climate change-scenarios based on both RegCM3 model outputs and historic observed trends to quantify differential …             A Dynamical Systems Explanation of the Hurst Effect and Atmospheric Low-Frequency Variability ▶     Christian L. E. Franzke, Scott M. Osprey, Paolo Davini et al.     The Hurst effect plays an important role in many areas such as physics, climate and finance. It describes the anomalous growth of range and constrains the behavior and …             Super adsorption capability from amorphousization of metal oxide nanoparticles for dye removal ▶     L. H. Li, J. Xiao, P. Liu et al.     Transitional metal oxide nanoparticles as advanced environment and energy materials require very well absorption performance to apply in practice. Although most metal oxides are …             Growth of a deep-water, predatory fish is influenced by the productivity of a boundary current system ▶     Hoang Minh Nguyen, Adam N. Rountrey, Jessica J. Meeuwig et al.     The effects of climate change on predatory fishes in deep shelf areas are difficult to predict because complex processes may govern food availability and temperature at depth. We …             Fukushima radionuclides in the NW Pacific, and assessment of doses for Japanese and world population from ingestion of seafood ▶     Pavel P. Povinec, Katsumi Hirose     Variations of Fukushima-derived radionuclides (90Sr, 134Cs and 137Cs) in seawater and biota offshore Fukushima and in the NW Pacific Ocean were investigated and radiation doses …             Causal evidence between monsoon and evolution of rhizomyine rodents ▶     Raquel López-Antoñanzas, Fabien Knoll, Shiming Wan et al.     The modern Asian monsoonal systems are currently believed to have originated around the end of the Oligocene following a crucial step of uplift of the Tibetan-Himalayan …             Advanced material and approach for metal ions removal from aqueous solutions ▶     Petri A. Turhanen, Jouko J. Vepsäläinen, Sirpa Peräniemi     A Novel approach to remove metals from aqueous solutions has been developed. The method is based on a resin free, solid, non-toxic, microcrystalline bisphosphonate material, …             Satellite-based estimates of groundwater depletion in the Badain Jaran Desert, China ▶     Jiu Jimmy Jiao, Xiaotao Zhang, Xusheng Wang     Despite prevailing dry conditions, groundwater-fed lakes are found among the earth's tallest sand dunes in the Badain Jaran Desert, China. Indirect evidence suggests that some …             Fabrication of SnO2-Reduced Graphite Oxide Monolayer-Ordered Porous Film Gas Sensor with Tunable Sensitivity through Ultra-Violet Light Irradiation ▶     Shipu Xu, Fengqiang Sun, Shumin Yang et al.     A new graphene-based composite structure, monolayer-ordered macroporous film composed of a layer of orderly arranged macropores, was reported. As an example, SnO2-reduced …             An atmospheric origin of the multi-decadal bipolar seesaw ▶     Zhaomin Wang, Xiangdong Zhang, Zhaoyong Guan et al.     A prominent feature of recent climatic change is the strong Arctic surface warming that is contemporaneous with broad cooling over much of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. …             Extensive phenotypic plasticity of a Red Sea coral over a strong latitudinal temperature gradient suggests limited acclimatization potential to warming ▶     Yvonne Sawall, Abdulmoshin Al-Sofyani, Sönke Hohn et al.     Global warming was reported to cause growth reductions in tropical shallow water corals in both, cooler and warmer, regions of the coral species range. This suggests regional …             Lunge feeding in early marine reptiles and fast evolution of marine tetrapod feeding guilds ▶     Ryosuke Motani, Xiao-hong Chen, Da-yong Jiang et al.     Traditional wisdom holds that biotic recovery from the end-Permian extinction was slow and gradual, and was not complete until the Middle Triassic. Here, we report that the …                 Don't let your data go to waste...
