Sufficient oxygen for animal respiration 1,400 million years ago

The Mesoproterozoic Eon [1,600-1,000 million years ago (Ma)] is emerging as a key interval in Earth history, with a unique geochemical history that might have influenced the course of biological evolution on Earth. Indeed, although this time interval is rather poorly understood, recent chromium isotope results suggest that atmospheric oxygen levels were <0.1% of present levels, sufficiently low to

Recalcitrant carbon components in glomalin-related soil protein facilitate soil organic carbon preservation in tropical forests

Glomalin-related soil protein (GRSP) is known as an important microbial by-product which is crucial for preserving or accumulating soil organic carbon (SOC). However, the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. In this study, we investigated the chemical structures of GRSP and its relationship with SOC using 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in three tropical forests. The three forests,

Pained Body, Performed Madness: A Study of the Bio-political Philosophy in He Yunchang's Performance Art

This thesis explores the considerations of bare life in He Yunchang’s performance arts, based on two of his works, One-meter democracy (2010) and Golden Sunlight (1999). I make a deep analysis of the images and archives of the two performances, about the artist’s artistic method of using visual signs. Furthermore, I interpret how the artist used the bodily pain to create figures. I also investigat

Global scale patterns and trends in tropospheric NO2 concentrations

Kvävedioxid (NO2) är en luftförorening som har negativ påverkan för både miljön och människors hälsa. Därför är det viktigt att förstå och övervaka koncentrationerna. För att göra det kan stationer på marken användas för att mäta koncentrationerna av NO2 i troposfären, det nedre lagret av atmosfären. Problemet med denna metod är att sådana mätstationer tenderar att vara koncentrerade i stadskärnorNitrogen dioxide (NO2) is an important air pollutant with both environmental and epidemiological effects. The main aim of this thesis is to explore spatial patterns and temporal trends of tropospheric NO2 concentrations globally using data from the OMI instrument aboard NASA’s Aura spacecraft. Additional aims are to validate the satellite data by comparing it to ground-based measurements, and to f
