TL;DR: In this article, a new parameterization of immersion freezing on desert dust particles derived from a large number of experiments carried out at the Aerosol Interaction and Dynamics in the Atmosphere (AIDA) cloud chamber facility is presented.
Abstract: In climate and weather models, the quantitative description of aerosol and cloud processes relies on simplified assumptions. This contributes major uncertainties to the prediction of global and regional climate change. Therefore, models need good parameterizations for heterogeneous ice nucleation by atmospheric aerosols. Here the authors present a new parameterization of immersion freezing on desert dust particles derived from a large number of experiments carried out at the Aerosol Interaction and Dynamics in the Atmosphere (AIDA) cloud chamber facility. The parameterization is valid in the temperature range between −12° and −36°C at or above water saturation and can be used in atmospheric models that include information about the dust surface area. The new parameterization was applied to calculate distribution maps of ice nuclei during a Saharan dust event based on model results from the regional-scale model Consortium for Small-Scale Modelling–Aerosols and Reactive Trace Gases (COSMO-ART). The ...

TL;DR: It is found that the external mycelium of AM fungi is able to take up sugars in a proton-dependent manner, implying that the sugar uptake system operating in this symbiosis is more complex than previously anticipated.
Abstract: For more than 400 million years, plants have maintained a mutualistic symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. This evolutionary success can be traced to the role of these fungi in providing plants with mineral nutrients, particularly phosphate. In return, photosynthates are given to the fungus, which support its obligate biotrophic lifestyle. Although the mechanisms involved in phosphate transfer have been extensively studied, less is known about the reciprocal transfer of carbon. Here, we present the high-affinity Monosaccharide Transporter2 (MST2) from Glomus sp with a broad substrate spectrum that functions at several symbiotic root locations. Plant cell wall sugars can efficiently outcompete the Glc uptake capacity of MST2, suggesting they can serve as alternative carbon sources. MST2 expression closely correlates with that of the mycorrhiza-specific Phosphate Transporter4 (PT4). Furthermore, reduction of MST2 expression using host-induced gene silencing resulted in impaired mycorrhiza formation, malformed arbuscules, and reduced PT4 expression. These findings highlight the symbiotic role of MST2 and support the hypothesis that the exchange of carbon for phosphate is tightly linked. Unexpectedly, we found that the external mycelium of AM fungi is able to take up sugars in a proton-dependent manner. These results imply that the sugar uptake system operating in this symbiosis is more complex than previously anticipated.

TL;DR: In this paper, a general operator-valued functional calcu- lus for operators with an H 1 −calculus was developed and applied to the problem of Lp−maximal regularity.
Abstract: We develop a very general operator-valued functional calcu- lus for operators with an H 1 −calculus. We then apply this to the joint functional calculus of two commuting sectorial operators when one has an H 1 calculus. Using this we prove theorem of Dore-Venni type on sums of commuting sectorial operators and apply our results to the problem of Lp−maximal regularity. Our main assumption is the R-boundedness of certain sets of operators, and therefore methods from the geometry of Ba- nach spaces are essential here. In the final section we exploit the special Banach space structure of L1−spaces and C(K)−spaces, to obtain some more detailed results in this setting.

TL;DR: It is shown that the A. nidulans phytochrome FphA binds a biliverdin chromophore, acts as a red-light sensor, and represses sexual development under red- light conditions, the first phy tochrome experimentally characterized outside the plant and bacterial kingdoms and the second type of fungal protein identified that functions in photoperception.

TL;DR: This tutorial review discusses instructive examples that have substantially broadened the scope of oxa-Michael reactions.
Abstract: Oxa-Michael reactions, i.e. addition reactions of oxygen nucleophiles to conjugated systems, have traditionally received much less attention from the scientific community compared to the addition of carbon nucleophiles to conjugate acceptor systems (Michael reaction). This was mainly due to lack of reactivity and selectivity of these reactions. Within the last few years however, there has been a remarkable increase in publications focussing on method development as well as applications to natural product synthesis. This tutorial review discusses instructive examples that have substantially broadened the scope of oxa-Michael reactions.
