Counting every tree because every tree counts | ![]() | 07-05-2022 | 20-05-2022 | This project aims towards a wall-to-wall identification of trees in global drylands and a study of their ecological services and socio-environmental determinants. The project will apply a new generation of satellite imagery at sub-metre resolution and extensive field data in conjunction with fully convolutional neural networks, a deep learning technique being able to identify objects within imagery at unprecedented accuracy. In doing so, we will lay the groundwork for new insights into the contribution of human agency and climate change to the distribution of dryland trees and their role in mitigating degradation, climate change and poverty. | Martin | Brandt | University of Copenhagen | TOFDRY Project | Climate & Environment | The PRj Volume 13 | Read Full Text | Download (PDF) |
Cardiac arrhythmia | ![]() | 07-05-2022 | 07-05-2022 | There is an urgent need to better understand and localise the sources of cardiac arrhythmia in order to improve its treatment. In this project, we propose a radical new approach of applying network theory to study the mechanisms of cardiac arrhythmia. Currently, network theory has a myriad of applications throughout biology, physics and social sciences. However, it has never been applied to the heart. In this proposal, we will apply network theory to clinical data of cardiac arrhythmia, backed-up by computer simulations, to automatically detect the source of the arrhythmia for complex atrial tachycardia, atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia.As we will identify possible ablation targets, the goal of this project is to improve the treatment for the patient. | Nele | Vandersickel | GHENT UNIVERSITY | SMARTHEART Project | Biology, Medicine, Society | The PRj Volume 13 | Read Full Text | Download (PDF) |

How does the viability of bone-restricted osteocytes regulate bone atrophy? | ![]() | 03-09-2021 | 02-02-2022 | Although the skeleton appears stiff and solid, it is, in fact, a dynamic and sensitive network, demanding a fine balance between the bone-resorbing osteoclasts and the bone-forming osteoblasts. Disruption of this homeostasis frequently leads to exaggerated bone degradation by osteoclasts, manifesting in pathological bone loss. | Aline | Bozec | Universitätsklinikum Erlangen | ODE | Biology, Medicine | The PRj Volume 10 | Read Full Text | Download (PDF) |
From advanced aircraft design to drug delivery | ![]() | 03-09-2021 | 02-02-2022 | The sonic boom of aircraft has been known since the early days of supersonic aviation. It both fascinates and frightens mankind, even today. Put simply, a flying object that moves faster than the air in front of it can be pushed away causes a very strong and fast compression of the air. | Nikolaus | A.

The long road to determine microplastic trends in a Baltic Sea catchment | ![]() | 03-09-2021 | 02-02-2022 | The behaviour and accumulation of microplastics (MPs) in the marine environment has been studied for years but is still poorly understood. In this context, the interdisciplinary MicroCatch_Balt consortium, consisting of environmental scientists, microbiologists, modellers, computer scientists, and ocean managers, is investigating the significance of land-based inputs as a source of MPs into the ocean. | Prof. Dr Matthias | Labrenz | Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde (IOW) | MICROCATCH | Climate & Environment | The PRj Volume 10 | Read Full Text | Download (PDF) |
Spectrally resolved outgoing longwave radiation and its applications for the study of climate | ![]() | 03-09-2021 | 02-02-2022 | Earth’s climate is determined by the flow of energy coming in and out of the Earth-atmosphere system. When reaching the atmosphere, a fraction (about 30 percent) of the incoming Sun’s radiation is directly reflected into space. The remaining part is absorbed by the atmosphere and Earth’s surface and reemitted as heat back into space. | Simon | Whitburn | Université Libre de Bruxelles, Brussels, Belgium | iASi-FT | Climate & Environment | The PRj Volume 10 | Read Full Text | Download (PDF) |
