TL;DR: The concept of cooperative rearrangement was introduced in an attempt to unify these two views of the glass transition by demonstrating that such cooperativity, coupled with a thermodynamic glass transition, resulted naturally insystem dynamics such as those described by the WLFequation for temperatures near freezing.
Abstract: We report the first measurements of the glass transition temperature ${T}_{g}$ for thin freely standing polystyrene (PS) films. We have used Brillouin light scattering to measure ${T}_{g}$ for freely standing films of different thicknesses. We find that ${T}_{g}$ decreases linearly with film thickness $h$ for $h\ensuremath{\le}700\AA{}$, with a reduction of 70 K for a film with $h\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}290\AA{}$. These measurements characterize unambiguously the effects of the free surface on ${T}_{g}$ of thin polymer films. Results are compared to similar results for supported PS films [Keddie et al., Europhys. Lett. 27, 59 (1994)], and we find that their measured values are influenced strongly by the substrate.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the largest standardized model intercomparison for climate change impacts so far, finding that individual crop models are able to simulate measured wheat grain yields accurately under a range of environments, particularly if the input information is sufficient.
Abstract: Projections of climate change impacts on crop yields are inherently uncertain(1). Uncertainty is often quantified when projecting future greenhouse gas emissions and their influence on climate(2). However, multi-model uncertainty analysis of crop responses to climate change is rare because systematic and objective comparisons among process-based crop simulation models(1,3) are difficult(4). Here we present the largest standardized model intercomparison for climate change impacts so far. We found that individual crop models are able to simulate measured wheat grain yields accurately under a range of environments, particularly if the input information is sufficient. However, simulated climate change impacts vary across models owing to differences in model structures and parameter values. A greater proportion of the uncertainty in climate change impact projections was due to variations among crop models than to variations among downscaled general circulation models. Uncertainties in simulated impacts increased with CO2 concentrations and associated warming. These impact uncertainties can be reduced by improving temperature and CO2 relationships in models and better quantified through use of multi-model ensembles. Less uncertainty in describing how climate change may affect agricultural productivity will aid adaptation strategy development and policymaking.

TL;DR: It is suggested that DNA barcoding can complement current research in these areas by providing background information that will be helpful in the selection of taxa for further analyses and provide a unique 'horizontal' genomics perspective with broad implications.
