Impacts of deforestation and burning, and the role of bracken fern, on the properties of surficial or buried soil A-horizons [PDF]
, 2008 Bracken fern (Pteridium spp.) is an aggressive plant that commonly invades disturbed sites. Its success as an invader is attributable, in part, to its ability to produce abundant growth, both below ground in the form of rhizomes and fine roots and above ...

Science Education, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Plants mediate the supply of energy and matter for all animals, including human beings yet we are faced with “plant blindness” whereby we pay limited attention to and accord little value to plants. Plant blindness is evident in school curricula whereby students have limited opportunities to learn about plants.

Characteristics of Volcanic Ash Soils From Southern Part of Mt. Tangkuban Perahu, West Java [PDF]
, 2005 Three soil pedons developed on young andesitic volcanic ash with high mineral deposit and high P retention, granular soil structure, high porosity, and low bulk density, were differentiated based on their morphological, physical, chemical and ...

Small, EarlyView.Polyion complex micelles composed of blends of ABA and AB block copolymers can form coacervates with a hexagonally packed cylinder nanostructure after heating. The resulting coacervates can release the micelles under physiological conditions in a zero‐order kinetics, possessing cargo proteins.

Tetrazine Functionalized Graphene Enables Capture of Ultra‐Low Concentrations of Biomacromolecules
Small, EarlyView.A novel method for covalent modification of monolayer graphene utilizing tetrazine containing diazonium salt is demonstrated. The modified graphene bearing tetrazine moieties undergoes inverse electron demand Diels‐Alder reactions with trans‐cyclooctene‐linked molecules, enabling bioorthogonal attachment of nanobodies that selectively capture EGFP ...

Multichannel Photoluminescence of Graphene Quantum Dots Across Femtosecond to Cryogenic Timescales
Small, EarlyView.This study reveals how graphene quantum dots emit light across all relevant timescales, from femtoseconds to cryogenic steady states. By integrating optical Kerr gating, time‐correlated single‐photon counting, and low‐temperature photoluminescence, distinct intrinsic, surface, and defect‐related emission channels are temporally and spectrally ...

High Voltage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study explores exciting state species and reaction pathways in positive leaders to better understand the breakdown mechanisms of long air gap discharges and natural lightning. Emission spectra from an unstable positive leader in a 1 m rod‐plate air gap under switching impulse voltages were observed, spanning 300–800 nm.
