Comparison of UV based advanced oxidation processes (UV/Periodate, UV/ Peroxydisulfate, UV/NaClO, and UV/H2O2) for inactivating Escherichia coli in marine water

Desalination and Water Treatment
Escherichia coli (E. coli) contamination in marine aquaculture represents a major financial risk. This study investigated the efficacy of ultraviolet-based advanced oxidation processes (UV-AOPs) employing a 10 W ultraviolet lamp and 1 mM oxidant to ...

When Nature Counts: Corporate Biodiversity Attention and Access to Bank Finance

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether corporate attention to biodiversity influences firms' access to bank loans, an overlooked question in the emerging biodiversity–finance literature. Using a novel, text‐based measure constructed from 446 biodiversity‐related keywords and applied to Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2000 to 2023, we show that ...

Microbiome dynamics and functional profiles in deep-sea wood-fall micro-ecosystem: insights into drive pattern of community assembly, biogeochemical processes, and lignocellulose degradation

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Wood-fall micro-ecosystems contribute to biogeochemical processes in the oligotrophic deep ocean. However, the community assembly processes and biogeochemical functions of microbiomes in wood fall remain unclear.

Seascape-scale trophic links for fish on inshore coral reefs

, 2014
It is increasingly accepted that coastal habitats such as inshore coral reefs do not function in isolation but rather as part of a larger habitat network.

Business and Biodiversity: Scaling Conservation Enterprises Within and Beyond Place for Transformative Change

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Transformative change is required to address persistent and systemic drivers of biodiversity loss. There is an urgent need for innovative solutions that tackle root causes in place‐specific contexts. Evidence indicates that small, innovative, purpose‐driven businesses can serve as vehicles for developing place‐based solutions.

Diazotroph Diversity Associated With Scleractinian Corals and Its Relationships With Environmental Variables in the South China Sea

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
Coral reef ecosystems cannot operate normally without an effective nitrogen cycle. For oligotrophic coral reef areas, coral-associated diazotrophs are indispensable participants in the nitrogen cycle.

Research progress and current status of dynamic wave propagation characteristics in rock mass: A review

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This review elucidates the velocity–dispersion–attenuation coupling mechanisms of wave propagation in rock masses, compares six representative models, and reveals how pressure, temperature, mineral composition, and anisotropy jointly control dynamic responses in complex geological media.
