TL;DR: It is shown that underdoped La2-xSrxCuO4 films are extremely sensitive to oxygen intake, even at very low temperature, with startling consequences including colossal lattice expansion and a crossover from semiconductor to metallic behavior.
Abstract: The report that ${T}_{c}$ was doubled in underdoped ${\mathrm{L}\mathrm{a}}_{2\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{S}\mathrm{r}}_{x}{\mathrm{C}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{O}}_{4}$ films under compressive epitaxial strain has stirred great interest. We show that such films are extremely sensitive to oxygen intake, even at very low temperature, with startling consequences including colossal lattice expansion and a crossover from semiconductor to metallic behavior. We can bring ${T}_{c}$ up to 40 K in ${\mathrm{L}\mathrm{a}}_{2}{\mathrm{C}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{O}}_{4}$ films on ${\mathrm{S}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{T}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ substrates---without any Sr doping and under tensile strain. On $\mathrm{L}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{S}\mathrm{r}{\mathrm{A}\mathrm{l}\mathrm{O}}_{4}$ substrates, we reached ${T}_{c}=51.5\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{K}$, the highest so far in ${\mathrm{L}\mathrm{a}}_{2\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{S}\mathrm{r}}_{x}{\mathrm{C}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{O}}_{4}$.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors combine CO column measurements from the MOPITT, AIRS, SCIAMACHY, and TES satellite instruments in a full-year (May 2004-April 2005) global inversion of CO sources at 4°×5° spatial resolution and monthly temporal resolution.
Abstract: . We combine CO column measurements from the MOPITT, AIRS, SCIAMACHY, and TES satellite instruments in a full-year (May 2004–April 2005) global inversion of CO sources at 4°×5° spatial resolution and monthly temporal resolution. The inversion uses the GEOS-Chem chemical transport model (CTM) and its adjoint applied to MOPITT, AIRS, and SCIAMACHY. Observations from TES, surface sites (NOAA/GMD), and aircraft (MOZAIC) are used for evaluation of the a posteriori solution. Using GEOS-Chem as a common intercomparison platform shows global consistency between the different satellite datasets and with the in situ data. Differences can be largely explained by different averaging kernels and a priori information. The global CO emission from combustion as constrained in the inversion is 1350 Tg a−1. This is much higher than current bottom-up emission inventories. A large fraction of the correction results from a seasonal underestimate of CO sources at northern mid-latitudes in winter and suggests a larger-than-expected CO source from vehicle cold starts and residential heating. Implementing this seasonal variation of emissions solves the long-standing problem of models underestimating CO in the northern extratropics in winter-spring. A posteriori emissions also indicate a general underestimation of biomass burning in the GFED2 inventory. However, the tropical biomass burning constraints are not quantitatively consistent across the different datasets.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that objects representations in visual short-term memory consist of oscillating synchronized cell assemblies is supported, as it is shown that sustained activities are more likely to reflect the continuous rehearsing process in memory than transient activities.
Abstract: In a visual delayed matching-to-sample task, compared to a control condition, we had previously identified different components of the human EEG that could reflect the rehearsal of an object representation in short-term memory (Tallon-Baudry et al., 1998). These components were induced oscillatory activities in the gamma (24-60 Hz) and beta (15-20 Hz) bands, peaking during the delay at occipital and frontal electrodes, and two negativities in the evoked potentials. Sustained activities (lasting until the end of the delay) are more likely to reflect the continuous rehearsing process in memory than transient (ending before the end of the delay) activities. Nevertheless, since the delay duration we used in our previous experiment was fixed and rather short, it was difficult to discriminate between sustained and transient components. Here we used the same delayed matching-to-sample task, but with variable delay durations. The same oscillatory components in the gamma and beta bands were observed again during the delay. The only components that showed a sustained time course compatible with a memory rehearsing process were the occipital gamma and frontal beta induced activities. These two activities slowly decreased with increasing delay duration, while the performance of the subjects decreased in parallel. No sustained response could be found in the evoked potentials. These results support the hypothesis that objects representations in visual short-term memory consist of oscillating synchronized cell assemblies.

TL;DR: It is suggested that even low levels of grazing can greatly accelerate DMS production, suggesting that DMSP lyase and DMSP are segregated within these cells and reaction only under conditions that result in cell stress or damage.
Abstract: Emiliania huxleyi clones CCMP 370 and CCMP 373 produced similar amounts of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) during axenic exponential growth, averaging 109 mM internal DMSP. Both clones had detectable DMSP lyase activity, as measured by production of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) during in vitro assays of crude cell preparations, but activities and conditions differed considerably between clones. Clone 373 had high activity; clone 370 had low activity and required chloride. For both strains, enzyme activity per cell was constant during exponential growth, but little DMS was produced by healthy cells. Rather, DMS production was activated when cells were subjected to physical or chemical stresses that caused cell lysis. We propose that DMSP lyase and DMSP are segregated within these cells and re-action only under conditions that result in cell stress or damage. Such activation occurs during microzooplankton grazing. When these clones were grazed by the dinoflagellate Oxyrrhis marina, DMS was produced; ungrazed cells, as well as those exposed to grazer exudates and associated bacteria, generated no DMS. Grazing of clone 373 produced much more DMS than grazing of clone 370, consistent with their relative in vitro DMSP lyase activities. DMS was only generated when cells were actually being grazed, indicating that ingested cells were responsible for the DMS formation. We suggest that even low levels of grazing can greatly accelerate DMS production.

TL;DR: The article first goes over theoretical implications, taking the perspective of the current Frankfurt School and the American movement of public journalism, and identifies concrete settings and levels of interactivity in online journalism.
Abstract: Lack of interaction between the mass media and their audiences has always been a target for media criticism. While the Internet provides a potential for more interactive communication, one wonders ...
