Open AccessThe spread amongst ENSEMBLES regional scenarios: regional climate models, driving general circulation models and interannual variability
Various combinations of thirteen regional climate models (RCM) and six general circulation models (GCM) were used in FP6-ENSEMBLES. The response to the SRES-A1B greenhouse gas concentration scenario over Europ...

Extremes and predictability in the European pre-industrial climate of a regional climate model
A high-resolution pre-industrial control simulation with the regional climate model REMO is analyzed in detail for different European subregions. To our knowledge, this is the first long pre-industrial control...

A Scalable Process for Helper-Dependent Adenoviral Vector Production Using PEI-Derived Transfection Strategy in Suspension Culture
Helper-dependent adenoviral vector has demonstrated a high therapeutic potential; however, the poor efficiency of the actual production process hampers further large-scale clinical evaluation. In this work, we...

Open AccessAn evaluation of Arctic cloud and radiation processes during the SHEBA year: simulation results from eight Arctic regional climate models
Eight atmospheric regional climate models (RCMs) were run for the period September 1997 to October 1998 over the western Arctic Ocean. This period was coincident with the observational campaign of the Surface ...

Characterization of a (021) twin in coesite using LACBED and precession electron diffraction
Coesite is a high-pressure polymorph of silica stable in the pressure range 2.5–9 GPa, which corresponds to a minimum depth in Earth of ca. 90 km. Given the ubiquity of silica at the surface of the Earth, coes...

Electron precession characterization of pseudo-merohedral twins in the LaGaO3 perovskite
Pseudo-merohedric twins are frequently observed in the orthorhombic LaGaO3 perovskite [1] because this perovskite displays some very small symmetry departures from an ideal cubic ABO3 perovskite. The characteriza...

Contribution of electron precession to the study of crystals displaying small symmetry departures
Many crystals display some small symmetry departures from a high symmetry. For example, a crystal has a tetragonal or an orthorhombic structure very close to a cubic structure. In this case, many zone axis ele...

Precession Electron Diffraction for the characterization of twinning in pseudo-symmetrical crystals: case of coesite
Recent developments in electron diffraction call for a reappraisal of the possibilities offered by spot patterns. Among them is the Vincent-Midgley Precession Electron Diffraction (PED) technique [1], which re...
