TL;DR: In this paper, a global research collaboration collected and analyzed terrestrial plant litter from 212 dry riverbeds across major environmental gradients and climate zones and assessed litter decomposability by quantifying the litter carbon-to-nitrogen ratio and oxygen consumption.
Abstract: Perennial rivers and streams make a disproportionate contribution to global carbon (C) cycling. However, the contribution of intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES), which sometimes cease to flow and can dry completely, is largely ignored although they represent over half the global river network. Substantial amounts of terrestrial plant litter (TPL) accumulate in dry riverbeds and, upon rewetting, this material can undergo rapid microbial processing. We present the results of a global research collaboration that collected and analysed TPL from 212 dry riverbeds across major environmental gradients and climate zones. We assessed litter decomposability by quantifying the litter carbon-to-nitrogen ratio and oxygen (O2) consumption in standardized assays and estimated the potential short-term CO2 emissions during rewetting events. Aridity, cover of riparian vegetation, channel width and dry-phase duration explained most variability in the quantity and decomposability of plant litter in IRES. Our estimates indicate that a single pulse of CO2 emission upon litter rewetting contributes up to 10% of the daily CO2 emission from perennial rivers and stream, particularly in temperate climates. This indicates that the contributions of IRES should be included in global C-cycling assessments.

TL;DR: In this paper, a two-step micromechanical approach for the calculation of the effective mechanical properties of composite materials made of auxetic inclusions is proposed. But this approach assumes that the inclusions consist of periodic beam lattices, whose equivalent mechanical properties are calculated by a discrete homogenization scheme in the first step.

TL;DR: In this paper, an observer is developed for estimating the load input voltages, thus removing the required voltage sensors, and its convergence as well as the stability of the whole system is proved.
Abstract: DC microgrids are increasingly used in transportation systems such as more electric aircraft. Such applications require small and light systems, and thus, the optimization of passive elements like dc-bus capacitor and filtering inductor is an important issue. It is known that the reduction of dc-bus capacitance may lead to instability of the dc microgrid when tightly controlled loads are employed. To overcome this risk, a seductive solution is to implement a centralized stabilization system in the dc microgrid. Nevertheless, a centralized stabilizer requires a lot of sensors and particularly those providing the load input voltages. The latter is often far from the stabilizer, and fast data transmission lines must be provided. In this paper, an observer is developed for estimating the load input voltages, thus removing the required voltage sensors. Its convergence as well as the stability of the whole system is proved. The validity of the proposed method is confirmed by simulations and experimentations.

TL;DR: Patients should receive 'therapy education' to help them and their support groups better understand the disease and its treatment and to achieve optimal health management and improved treatment effectiveness.
Abstract: Since the 1990s, oral chemotherapy has been gaining ground as cancer treatment. This therapy seems to have few toxic effects and offers patients good quality of life. However, in addition to the fears the therapy might generate in patients, oral treatment raises a new issue, which, until now, has been marginal in this field: therapeutic observance or adherence. We investigated the research into adherence to oral chemotherapy among cancer patients published between 1990 and July 2013. Studies showed considerable diversity in terms of both the definition and measurement of adherence. As well, adherence to antineoplastic therapy is affected by the patient's understanding of the treatment and ability to remember information provided by the physician, treatment length and psychological distress. Our review of the few studies on adherence to anticancer drug treatment raises some questions that could be pursued in future research. In light of our findings, patients should receive 'therapy education' to help them and their support groups better understand the disease and its treatment and to achieve optimal health management and improved treatment effectiveness.
