In this contribution, we use all three components of the gravity vector observations to compute a regional geoid and demonstrate the advantages of using the horizontal components alongside the vertical component. We apply the one-step integration method within the remove-compute-restore framework; where the long-wavelength part of the geoid is recovered from Earth’s gravitational models while the harmonicity of the computation...

In denitrifying bacteria, nitric oxide (NO) is an electron acceptor and a free intermediate produced during anaerobic respiration. NO is also a signal for transcriptional regulation of the genes encoding nitrite (Nir), nitric oxide (Nor) and nitrous oxide reductases (N 2 OR). We hypothesise that the timing and strength of the NO signal necessary for full nir expression are key factors in the bet‐hedging strategy of Paracoccus...
