BACTERIAL COMMUNITIES OF MOJAVE DESERT BIOLOGICAL SOIL CRUSTS ARE SHAPED BY DOMINANT PHOTOAUTOTROPHS AND THE PRESENCE OF HYPOLITHIC NICHES

Bacterial Communities of Mojave Desert Biological Soil Crusts Are Shaped by Dominant Photoautotrophs and the Presence of Hypolithic Niches

Biocrust communities are often heterogeneous and affected by small-scale environmental features, including both physical and biotic factors.The presence of moss in biocrusts, for example, is likely to create a set of physical conditions distinct from those found in microbial biocrusts that lack mosses.Similarly, hypolithic organisms living under an

Development of a Framework to Aid the Transition from Reactive to Proactive Maintenance Approaches to Enable Energy Reduction

The disparity between public datasets and real industrial datasets is limiting the practical application of advanced data analysis.Therefore, industry is stuck in a reactive mode regarding their maintenance strategy and cannot transition to cost-effective and energy-efficient proactive maintenance approaches.In this Stools paper, an integration-typ
