    Description: Himalayan rivers are frequently hit by catastrophic floods that are caused by the failure of glacial lake and landslide dams; however, the dynamics and long-term impacts of such floods remain poorly understood. We present a comprehensive set of observations that capture the July 2016 glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) in the Bhotekoshi/Sunkoshi River of Nepal. Seismic records of the flood provide new insights into GLOF mechanics and their ability to mobilize large boulders that otherwise prevent channel erosion. Because of this boulder mobilization, GLOF impacts far exceed those of the annual summer monsoon, and GLOFs may dominate fluvial erosion and channel-hillslope coupling many tens of kilometers downstream of glaciated areas. Long-term valley evolution in these regions may therefore be driven by GLOF frequency and magnitude, rather than by precipitation.

    Notes: Abstract The expression of recombinant proteins with the Semliki Forest Virus (SFV) system has been scaled up to bioreactor scale. As a model protein for this study the human 5-HT3 receptor was chosen. The gene for the receptor was subcloned into the SFV expression plasmid pSFV1. Virus production by in vivo packaging and production of the recombinant protein was scaled up, the latter to a reactor volume of 11.5 l. A VibromixTM agitation system was chosen to overcome aggregation problems of BHK cells in suspension. In the process, cells were first grown to a density of 106 cells/ml, the medium was then exchanged with fresh medium and the culture was infected with the recombinant virus at an estimated multiplicity of infection of 30. 24 h post infection we measured an expression level of 3 million functional 5-HT3 receptors per cell. For harvesting, the cells were pelleted by centrifugation. The receptor protein was purified in a single step (Hovius et al., 1998) by exploiting the hexa-His tag at minimal protein loss (51% yield). Experiments to optimise expression resulted in yields up to 8 million receptors per cell, when the pH of a suspension culture was controlled at pH 7.3. Rapid virus generation and protein production, high protein yields as well as successful large scale application have made the SFV expression system attractive to produce large quantities of recombinant protein in a very short time. After optimisation of the expression conditions (in particular by setting the pH at 7.3), yields were increased twofold.
