In the Swiss Rhone valley (Valais), one of the driest inner-Alpine regions, the species composition in low elevation forests is changing: The sub-boreal Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) dominating the dry forests is showing high mortality rates. Concurrently the sub-Mediterranean pubescent oak (Quercus pubescens Willd.) has locally increased in abundance. However, it remains unclear whether this local change in species composition is part of a larger-scale vegetation shift. To study variability in mortality and regeneration in these dry forests we analysed data from the Swiss national forest inventory (NFI) on a regular grid between 1983 and 2003, and combined it with annual mortality data from a monitoring site. Pine mortality was found to be highest at low elevation (below 1000 m a.s.l.). Annual variation in pine mortality was correlated with a drought index computed for the summer months prior to observed tree death. A generalized linear mixed-effects model indicated for the NFI data increased pine mortality on dryer sites with high stand competition, particularly for small-diameter trees. Pine regeneration was low in comparison to its occurrence in the overstorey, whereas oak regeneration was comparably abundant. Although both species regenerated well at dry sites, pine regeneration was favoured at cooler sites at higher altitude and oak regeneration was more frequent at warmer sites, indicating a higher adaptation potential of oaks under future warming. Our results thus suggest that an extended shift in species composition is actually occurring in the pine forests in the Valais. The main driving factors are found to be climatic variability, particularly drought, and variability in stand structure and topography. Thus, pine forests at low elevations are developing into oak forests with unknown consequences for these ecosystems and their goods and services.}, language = {en} } @article{FateriGebhardt2015, author = {Fateri, Miranda and Gebhardt, Andreas}, title = {Selective Laser Melting of Soda-Lime Glass Powder}, series = {International Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology}, volume = {12}, journal = {International Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology}, number = {1}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, address = {Oxford}, issn = {1744-7402}, doi = {10.1111/ijac.12338}, pages = {53 -- 61}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @article{FateriGebhardt2015, author = {Fateri, Miranda and Gebhardt, Andreas}, title = {Process Parameters Development of Selective Laser Melting of Lunar Regolith for On-Site Manufacturing Applications}, series = {International Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology}, volume = {12}, journal = {International Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology}, number = {1}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, address = {Oxford}, isbn = {1744-7402}, doi = {10.1111/ijac.12326}, pages = {46 -- 52}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @incollection{FeldmannDoeringPyschny2016, author = {Feldmann, M. and D{\"o}ring, Bernd and Pyschny, D.}, title = {Floor systems; Sustainabilty analyses and assessments of steel bridges}, series = {Sustainable steel buildings : a practical guide for structures and envelopes}, booktitle = {Sustainable steel buildings : a practical guide for structures and envelopes}, publisher = {Wiley Blackwell}, address = {Chichester, West Sussex}, isbn = {978-1-118-74079-8 (PDF)}, pages = {198 -- 223}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @article{SchierenKleinschmidtSchmutzetal.2019, author = {Schieren, Mark and Kleinschmidt, Joris and Schmutz, Axel and Loop, Torsten and Gatzweiler, Karl-Heinz and Staat, Manfred and Wappler, Frank and Defosse, Jerome}, title = {Comparison of forces acting on maxillary incisors during tracheal intubation with different laryngoscopy techniques: a blinded manikin study}, series = {Anaesthesia}, volume = {74}, journal = {Anaesthesia}, number = {12}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, address = {Oxford}, isbn = {1365-2044}, doi = {10.1111/anae.14815}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @incollection{EngelmannShashaSlabu2021, author = {Engelmann, Ulrich M. and Shasha, Carolyn and Slabu, Ioana}, title = {Magnetic nanoparticle relaxation in biomedical application: focus on simulating nanoparticle heating}, series = {Magnetic nanoparticles in human health and medicine}, booktitle = {Magnetic nanoparticles in human health and medicine}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, address = {Hoboken, New Jeersey}, isbn = {978-1-119-75467-1}, pages = {327 -- 354}, year = {2021}, language = {en} } @article{WerkhausenWillwacherAlbracht2021, author = {Werkhausen, Amelie and Willwacher, Steffen and Albracht, Kirsten}, title = {Medial gastrocnemius muscle fascicles shorten throughout stance during sprint acceleration}, series = {Scandinavian Journal of Medicine \& Science in Sports}, volume = {31}, journal = {Scandinavian Journal of Medicine \& Science in Sports}, number = {7}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, address = {Oxford}, issn = {0905-7188 (Druckausgabe)}, doi = {10.1111/sms.13956}, pages = {1471 -- 1480}, year = {2021}, abstract = {The compliant nature of distal limb muscle-tendon units is traditionally considered suboptimal in explosive movements when positive joint work is required. However, during accelerative running, ankle joint net mechanical work is positive. Therefore, this study aims to investigate how plantar flexor muscle-tendon behavior is modulated during fast accelerations. Eleven female sprinters performed maximum sprint accelerations from starting blocks, while gastrocnemius muscle fascicle lengths were estimated using ultrasonography. We combined motion analysis and ground reaction force measurements to assess lower limb joint kinematics and kinetics, and to estimate gastrocnemius muscle-tendon unit length during the first two acceleration steps. Outcome variables were resampled to the stance phase and averaged across three to five trials. Relevant scalars were extracted and analyzed using one-sample and two-sample t-tests, and vector trajectories were compared using statistical parametric mapping. We found that an uncoupling of muscle fascicle behavior from muscle-tendon unit behavior is effectively used to produce net positive mechanical work at the joint during maximum sprint acceleration. Muscle fascicles shortened throughout the first and second steps, while shortening occurred earlier during the first step, where negative joint work was lower compared with the second step. Elastic strain energy may be stored during dorsiflexion after touchdown since fascicles did not lengthen at the same time to dissipate energy. Thus, net positive work generation is accommodated by the reuse of elastic strain energy along with positive gastrocnemius fascicle work. Our results show a mechanism of how muscles with high in-series compliance can contribute to net positive joint work.}, language = {en} } @article{FontivonArxGarciaGonzalezetal.2010, author = {Fonti, Patrick and von Arx, Georg and Garc{\´i}a-Gonz{\´a}lez, Ignacio and Eilmann, Britta and Sass-Klaassen, Ute G.

Insights into plant adjustments to changing environmental conditions have mainly been obtained through structural and functional comparative studies between taxa or within taxa on contrasting sites or along environmental gradients. Yet, a gap exists regarding the study of hydraulic adjustments in response to environmental changes over the lifetimes of plants. In trees, dated tree-ring series are often exploited to reconstruct dynamics in ecological conditions, and recent work in which wood-anatomical variables have been used in dendrochronology has produced promising results. Environmental signals identified in water-conducting cells carry novel information reflecting changes in regional conditions and are mostly related to short, sub-annual intervals. Although the idea of investigating environmental signals through wood anatomical time series goes back to the 1960s, it is only recently that low-cost computerized image-analysis systems have enabled increased scientific output in this field. We believe that the study of tree-ring anatomy is emerging as a promising approach in tree biology and climate change research, particularly if complemented by physiological and ecological studies.

To understand how chronic drought affects tree growth and tree-ring δ13C values, we studied mature Scots pine in an irrigation experiment in an inner-Alpine valley. Tree growth and isotope analyses were carried out at the annual and seasonal scale. At the seasonal scale, maximum δ13C values were measured after the hottest and driest period of the year, and were associated with decreasing growth rates. Inter-annual δ13C values in early- and latewood showed a strong correlation with annual climatic conditions and an immediate decrease as a response to irrigation. This indicates a tight coupling between wood formation and the freshly produced assimilates for trees exposed to chronic drought. This rapid appearance of the isotopic signal is a strong indication for an immediate and direct transfer of newly synthesized assimilates for biomass production. The fast appearance and the distinct isotopic signal suggest a low availability of old stored carbohydrates. If this was a sign for C-storage depletion, an increasing mortality could be expected when stressors increase the need for carbohydrate for defence, repair or regeneration.}, language = {en} } @article{GarhoferBekBoehmetal.2010, author = {Garhofer, Gerhard and Bek, Toke and Boehm, Andreas G. and Gherghel, Doina and Grundwald, Juan and Jeppesen, Peter and Kergoat, H{\´e}l{\`e}ne and Kotliar, Konstantin and Lanzl, Ines and Lovasik, John V. and Nagel, Edgar and Vilser, Walthard and Orgul, Selim and Schmetterer, Leopold}, title = {Use of the retinal vessel analyzer in ocular blood flow research}, series = {Acta Ophthalmol}, volume = {88}, journal = {Acta Ophthalmol}, number = {7}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, address = {Oxford}, issn = {1755-3768}, doi = {10.1111/j.1755-3768.2009.01587.x}, pages = {717 -- 722}, year = {2010}, abstract = {The present article describes a standard instrument for the continuous online determination of retinal vessel diameters, the commercially available retinal vessel analyzer.
