Light, Air, Ozone
Pioneers, troublemakers, discoveries. The resort of Arosa became a world-renowned research centre. This book tells the story of the world's longest series of ozone measurements and the Earth's vital protective envelope. Where the Grandhotel Tschuggen now stands in Arosa was once the Arosa Sanatorium. In those days thousands travelled to the resort to recover from tuberculosis, a disease that was widespread at the time. The German physicist Paul Götz launched his career on the roof of the sanatorium. At the request of the Arosa Resort and Tourism Association (Kur- und Verkehrsverein Arosa) he established the Light Climatic Observatory LCO (Lichtklimatisches Observatorium LKO) in 1921 to prov...
Statistics in Genetics and in the Environmental Sciences
Statistics is strongly tied to applications in different scientific disciplines, and the most challenging statistical problems arise from problems in the sciences. In fact, the most innovative statistical research flows from the needs of applications in diverse settings. This volume is a testimony to the crucial role that statistics plays in scientific disciplines such as genetics and environmental sciences, among others. The articles in this volume range from human and agricultural genetic DNA research to carcinogens and chemical concentrations in the environment and to space debris and atmospheric chemistry. Also included are some articles on statistical methods which are sufficiently gene...
Theology Between the East and West: A Radical Legacy
"With this Festschrift we bring to this teacher and friend a richly multicolored bouquet of theological contributions, all of which convey an echo of Lochman's theological message. Frank Macchia and Paul Chung, who were among Lochman's leading students at Basel, have collected the essays of this volume. These essays reveal the ecumenical interests of inter-confessional ecumenical dialogue, the social interest of a vigorous Christian ethic, and the human interest in a humane culture, interests affirmed in various ways in Lochman's theology. They bring to expression our gratitude for his theological presence over so many years and in so many continents." Jurgen Moltmann, from the foreword Contributors Include: Prof. Dr. Charles C. West, Prof. Dr. Friedrich-Wilhelm Marquardt, Prof. Dr. Georges Hunsinger, Prof. Dr. Jurgen Moltmann, Prof. Dr. Karl Rennstich, Prof. Dr. Lukas Vischer Prof. Dr. Miroslav Volf, Prof. Dr. Merwyn S. Johnson, Prof. Dr. Stefan Becker, Prof. Dr. Veli-Matti Karkkainen, Prof. Dr. Mee Hyun Chung, Prof. Dr. Esther Kim, Prof. Dr. Kosuke Nishitani, Johannes M. Staehelin, Prof. Dr. Kim Won Bae, Dr. Hans-Jorg Kagi, Dr. Manfred Rohloff, among others.
Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion 2014
This document is part of the information upon which the Parties to the United Nations Montreal Protocol will base their future decisions regarding ozone-depleting substances, their alternatives, and protection of the ozone layer. It is the latest in a long series of scientific assessments that have informed the Parties and contains the policy-relevant major findings of the Assessment's five scientific chapters. Actions taken under the Montreal Protocol have led to decreases in the atmospheric abundance of controlled ozone-depleting substances (ODSs), and are enabling the return of the ozone layer toward 1980 levels. This comprehensive volume includes many tables, figures, and charts througho...
Machine Learning and Deep Learning in Medical Data Analytics and Healthcare Applications
Machine Learning and Deep Learning in Medical Data Analytics and Healthcare Applications introduces and explores a variety of schemes designed to empower, enhance, and represent multi-institutional and multi-disciplinary machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) research in healthcare paradigms. Serving as a unique compendium of existing and emerging ML/DL paradigms for the healthcare sector, this book demonstrates the depth, breadth, complexity, and diversity of this multi-disciplinary area. It provides a comprehensive overview of ML/DL algorithms and explores the related use cases in enterprises such as computer-aided medical diagnostics, drug discovery and development, medical imaging,...
Cloud Multi-phase Processes and High Alpine Air and Snow Chemistry
Among the chemical and physical processes involved in the transformation of pollutants between their sources and their ultimate deposition, those associated with clouds, aerosols and precipitation must be rated as the most difficult both to study and to understand. This book presents a variety of recent advances in this field, including the properties and composition of aerosol particles, chemical transformation and scavenging processes, the relationship between liquid-phase chemistry and cloud micro-physics, entrainment, evaporation and deposition, trends in high Alpine pollution, transport processes, and developments in instrumentation. This book is Volume 5 in the ten-volume series on Transport and Chemical Transformation of Pollutants in the Troposphere.
From weather observations to atmospheric and climate sciences in Switzerland
In 2016 the Swiss Society for Meteorology (Schweizerische Gesellschaft für Meteorologie, SGM) celebrates its 100th anniversary. Compared to other meteorological societies it is not among the oldest ones. Nevertheless, meteorology has gone through such a remarkable evolution in the past 100 years that it is worthwhile to take a look back and recapitulate the developments of both science and SGM – and to reveal their interaction. The idea of this book is to give an overview of what has happened in the field of atmospheric sciences in Switzerland since the first systematic long-term meteorological observations until today.
