Permanent loss of barrier island resilience due to a critical transition in dune ecosystems

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
Barrier islands cover a large fraction of US coasts and support unique ecosystems and coastal infrastructure. The ‘barrier’ function of a barrier island depends on coastal dunes that can prevent storm flooding and widespread ecosystem loss.

Spatial and temporal composition of the avifauna from the barrier islands of the San Ignacio-Navachiste-Macapule lagoon complex, Sinaloa, Mexico

open access: yesCiencias Marinas, 2010
We analyzed the composition and abundance of the avifuana inhabiting the barrier islands of the San Ignacio-Navachiste- Macapule lagoon system from July 2006 to June 2007. Species richness and relative abundance were determined for the whole complex and

Structure‐Guided Balancing of Ambipolar Transport Enables Symmetric Switching in Heterojunction Bilayer Organic Transistor Inverters

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Balancing the spatially separated p‐ and n‐type transport pathways in heterojunction‐bilayer OTFTs enables symmetric inverter switching (VM ≈ 0.5VDD), whereas discrete integration of unipolar OTFTs gives polarity‐dependent and resistive responses. ABSTRACT High inverter performance in ambipolar organic electronics requires balanced channel strengths ...

The Caroline Islands Script [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
This thesis maintains that the Caroline Islands script has been unjustly dismissed as a preferable orthography for the Woleaian language. The reason for this dismissal were twofold: (l) the researchers compared the script with an inaccurate tentative ...

What are Barrier Islands Worth? Estimates of Willingness to Pay for Restoration [PDF]

open access: yes
A dichotomous-choice contingent-valuation survey was conducted in the State of Mississippi (USA) to estimate willingness to pay (WTP) for three restoration options being considered for the state’s barrier islands.

Advances in 3D Bioprinting for Breast Cancer Modeling: Tumor Microenvironment, Metastasis, and Drug Screening

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Three‐dimensional bioprinting transforms breast cancer modeling from simple constructs into spatially organized, multicellular, perfused, and patient‐derived platforms. This review shows how bioinks, cellular composition, architecture, and flow govern tumor behavior and drug response, while revealing why complexity alone is insufficient without ...
