Voraussetzung für alle Formen der Umweltüberwachung anhand von Femerkundungsdaten ist eine rasche und sichere Auswertung der spektralen Informationen, die durch die Femerkundungstechnologie bereitgestellt wird. Dazu müssen charakteristische Referenz(Trainings-)flächen, deren Nutzungsformen und spektrale Eigenschaften bekannt sind, im Überwachungsgebiet bestimmt werden [...]

In the Arctic winter/spring of 2019/2020, stratospheric temperatures were exceptionally low until early April and the polar vortex was very stable. As a consequence, significant chemical ozone depletion occurred in the Arctic polar vortex in spring 2020. [...]

The dynamics and motion of multi-ciliated microswimmers with a spherical body and a small number N (with 5<N<60) of cilia with length comparable to the body radius, is investigated by mesoscale hydrodynamics simulations. A metachronal wave is imposed for the cilia beat, for which the wave vector has both a longitudinal and a latitudinal component. [...]

The properties of semiflexible polymers tethered by one end to an impenetrable wall and exposed to oscillatory shear flow are investigated by mesoscale simulations. A polymer, confined in two dimensions, is described by a linear bead-spring chain, and fluid interactions are incorporated by the Brownian multiparticle collision dynamics approach [...]

Combined scanning tunnelling and atomic force microscopy using a qPlus sensor enables the measurement of electronic and mechanic properties of two-dimensional materials at the nanoscale. In this work, we study hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), an atomically thin 2D layer, that is van der Waals-coupled to a Cu(111) surface [...]

Face masks are used to trap particles (or fluid drops) in a porous material (filter) in order to avoid or reduce the transfer of particles between the human lungs (or mouth and nose) and the external environment. The air exchange between the lungs and the environment is assumed to occur through the face mask filter. [...]

Background: The pathophysiology underlying essential tremor (ET) still is poorly understood. Recent research suggests a pivotal role of the cerebellum in tremor genesis, and an ongoing controversy remains as to whether ET constitutes a neurodegenerative disorder. [...]
