Dune Field Patterns and Their Control Factors in the Middle Areas of China’s Hexi Corridor Desert
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 The middle areas of China’s Hexi Corridor Desert are distributed within or at the edge of oases in continental river basins in Northern China. Recently, researchers found that rivers can provide sediment material for dune formation and development, but ...

Ferromanganese nodules and micro-hardgrounds associated with the Cadiz Contourite Channel (NE Atlantic): Palaeoenvironmental records of fluid venting and bottom currents [PDF]
, 2012 Ferromanganese nodule fields and hardgrounds have recently been discovered in the Cadiz Contourite Channel in the Gulf of Cadiz (850–1000 m). This channel is part of a large contourite depositional system generated by the Mediterranean Outflow Water ...

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A soft robotic simulator is developed to replicate the digital removal of feces (DRF), a sensitive yet essential nursing procedure. Integrating soft actuators, sensors, and a realistic rectal model, the simulator balances functional fidelity with perceptual realism. Engineering evaluations and nurse feedback confirm its potential to enhance training in

Observations of cross-shelf transport due to internal wave pumping on the Bay of Biscay shelf [PDF]
Ocean ScienceCoastal cross-shelf transport drives the redistribution of sediment, nutrients and pollutants on continental shelves. Here, the cross-shelf volume flux is quantified from in situ measurements at two coastal sites on the Bay of Biscay (BoB) shelf.

Alternating High‐Fat and Polysaccharide Diets Modulates Gut Phage‐Bacterial Interplay
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study reveals how alternating high‐fat and polysaccharide diets reshape the human gut virome and enhance phage‐bacteria interactions. Using large‐scale metagenomic meta‐analysis and a time‐resolved mouse model, the authors show that diets strongly modulate phage abundance, lifestyle, and gene exchange, offering new insights into nutrition‐guided ...

Adult Sex Ratio as a Demographic Feedback Linking Mating Systems, Parental Care, and Evolution
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Breeding systems are some of the most diverse social behavior, and our team is investigation the evolutionary causes of this diversity. This review summarises our research carried out at the University of Bath. We argue that demographic components of wild populations, especially the adult sex ratio, plays a key role driving breeding system variation ...

Influence of the summer deep-sea circulations on passive drifts among the submarine canyons in the northwestern Mediterranean Sea [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2019 Marine biophysical models can be used to explore the displacement of individuals in and between submarine canyons. Mostly, the studies focus on the shallow hydrodynamics in or around a single canyon.
