Humidity‐Guided In Situ Polymerization for Controlled Formation of Smooth, Oriented Covalent Organic Framework Films

Small, EarlyView.
We develop an operationally simple, efficient approach to prepare thin films of 2D imine COFs, where environmental humidity plays a key role in the formation of smooth, face‐on oriented films. The high controllability and reproducibility of this method allow statistical evaluation of morphologically varied COF films for chemiresistive sensing ...

Assessing the fire resistance of damaged reinforced concrete frames: A comparative study between 2D and 3D frames

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Post‐earthquake fires pose a significant threat to urban environments, with potentially catastrophic consequences for buildings and infrastructure. To enhance understanding and mitigate these risks, this study conducts a comparative analysis of post‐earthquake fire (PEF) in two‐dimensional (2D) and three‐dimensional (3D) reinforced concrete ...

Seismic evaluation of the southbound Stellenberg Interchange Bridge, B5593, in South Africa

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study presents a nonlinear finite element assessment of the seismic vulnerability of Bridge B5593, located in the south‐western region of South Africa. Previous evaluations identified a high likelihood of column failure; however, these were based on linear material models incapable of capturing damage evolution.

Micronuclei and Other Nuclear Abnormalities in Patella Limpet as Biomarkers of Cytogenotoxicity in Recreational Port Waters

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over the past decades, the growth in human population and economic activities has led to an increase in maritime traffic. This rise puts additional pressure on marine environments, vessel fuel spills being considered to have a major impact on the ecosystem.

THE ABUNDANCE AND SPECIES COMPOSITION OF STURGEON IN THE NORTHERN CASPIAN SEA

‬‭Majallah-i ̒Ilmī-i Shīlāt-i Īrān, 2008
This study was carried out in the northern Caspian Sea on Gidrobiolog vessel in summer 2006 to assess the abundance and species composition of sturgeons. We used bottom trawl (9m) and gillnets with mesh size 60, 110, 250 and 29Omm.

Environmental Contaminant Accumulation in Freshwater Turtles Inhabiting Three Rivers of the Permian Basin, New Mexico, USA

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Freshwater turtles are valuable sentinels of aquatic systems due to their long lifespans and resilience in environments impacted by contaminants. The Permian Basin, dominated by the oil and gas sector, spans western Texas and southeastern New Mexico, USA, including the Pecos River and its tributaries, the Delaware and Black Rivers.

Trace Element Contamination in Top Predatory Elasmobranchs From the Southern Black Sea: Implications for Ecosystem Health and Risk Assessment

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental pollution resulting from the rapid increase in human population, urbanization, intensive use of chemicals in agriculture, and industrial development has reached a level that threatens natural life today. Trace elements are one of the most important factors causing significant levels of pollution in the environment and are added ...

A Low‐Cost Multifunctional PDMS Sponge Based on Boron Compounds and Waste‐Derived Candle Soot for Flame‐Retardancy, Oil–Water Separation, and Self‐Cleaning

Journal of Vinyl and Additive Technology, EarlyView.
A multifunctional PDMS sponge modified with boron compounds and candle soot exhibits superhydrophobicity, flame retardancy, and efficient oil adsorption. The porous structure enables rapid oil uptake, stable self‐cleaning behavior, and improved fire resistance, highlighting its potential for environmental remediation and safe oil–water separation ...

Ontogeny of foraging behaviour in an opportunistic gull inhabiting urban marine ecosystems

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urbanization affects ecosystems by reducing biodiversity and displacing species from native habitats. While some suffer, others, like urban wildlife, adapt through innovative feeding and behaviours that improve their fitness in human‐altered settings. Despite research on wildlife in urban areas, the development of foraging behaviour in urban species is
