A large number of urban surface energy balance models now exist with different assumptions about the important features of the surface and exchange processes that need to be incorporated. To date, no comparison of these models has been conducted; in contrast, models for natural surfaces have been compared extensively as part of the Project for Inte...
Deder is een ‘nieuw’ gewas voor de Nederlandse landbouw. Deder (Camelina Sativa (L.)) is een gewas dat vroeger al in Europa werd gebruikt. Momenteel wordt deder niet meer verbouwd. De hernieuwde interesse komt vooral voort uit de zoektocht naar perspectiefvolle oliehoudende energiegewassen. In verband met de sterke interesse als energiegewas is de ...

Neurons that express pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) and cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus suppress feeding and increase energy expenditure in response to circulating adiposity signals such as leptin. Alterations in gene expression may lead to long term modification of this circuit and alter...

Maximizing yields is opposed to the goal of minimizing the use of inputs. In the context of system rationalization, the addition of non-economic parameters in the decision making and the magnitude of eucalyptus plantation in Sao Paulo State, Brazil led to this study. The objective was to establish the flows and to evaluate the performance of energy...

Certain human subpopulations are metabolically healthy but obese, or metabolically obese but normal weight; such mutations uncouple obesity from glucose intolerance, revealing pathways implicated in Type 2 diabetes. Current searches for relevant genes consume significant effort. We have reported previously a novel double bromodomain protein called ...

It is well known that surface roughness has a very important effect on superhydrophobicity. The Wenzel and Cassie-Baxter models, which correspond to the homogeneous and heterogeneous wetting respectively, are currently primary instructions for designing superhydrophobic surfaces. However, the particular drop shape that a drop exhibits might depend ...

Seasonal reproduction is common among mammals at all latitudes, even in the deep tropics. This paper (i) discusses the neuroendocrine pathways via which foraging conditions and predictive cues such as photoperiod enforce seasonality, (ii) considers the kinds of seasonal challenges mammals actually face in natural habitats, and (iii) uses the inform...
