Energetic particle influence on the Earth's atmosphere
This manuscript gives an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of the effects of energetic particle precipitation (EPP) onto the whole atmosphere, from the lower thermosphere/mesosphere through the stratosphere and troposphere, to the surface. The paper summarizes the different sources and energies of particles, principally
galactic cosmic rays (GCRs), solar energetic particles (SEPs) and energetic electron precipitation (EEP). All the proposed mechanisms by which EPP can affect the atmosphere
are discussed, including chemical changes in the upper atmosphere and lower thermosphere, chemistry-dynamics feedbacks, the global electric circuit and cloud formation. The role of energetic particles in Earth’s atmosphere is a multi-disciplinary problem that requires expertise from a range of scientific backgrounds. To assist with this synergy, summary tables are provided, which are intended to evaluate the level of current knowledge of the effects of energetic particles on processes in the entire atmosphere

Microfluidics for Neuronal Imaging
In neurobiology studies, the use of well-controllable microenvironments that can actively interact with biological samples is becoming increasingly popular. Microfluidic systems due to their precise micron-size dimensions are becoming the gold standard for manipulating small-model organisms in vivo, such as the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster as well as for assembling and interacting with neuronal cell cultures in vitro. The reproducible microenvironment, the automation of time-consuming protocols, and the low manufacturing cost of microfluidic chips offer unique experimental capabilities and a large amount of high-quality data to the neurobiologist over traditional methods. This chapter highlights a certain aspect of microfluidic technology that facilitates the study of neuronal physiology and function through imaging
