Decentralized Wind Energy Systems as Catalysts for Urban Resilience: A Design Framework

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Confronting the escalating extreme weather events (EWEs) and intensifying winds, this study proposes an active response to these issues by exploring decentralized wind energy production for Peng Chau Island, Hong Kong. It integrates theoretical perspectives on energy democracy—empowering local communities through energy autonomy—and urban ...

Effects of Natural Ingredient Xanthohumol on the Intestinal Microbiota, Metabolic Profiles and Disease Resistance to Streptococcus agalactiae in Tilapia Oreochromis niloticus

Microorganisms
Streptococcus agalactiae (SA) is a severe prevalent pathogen, resulting in high morbidity and mortality in the global tilapia industry. With increasing bacterial resistance to antibiotics, alternative strategies are urgently needed.

Mesoscale Circulation and Coral Community Disturbance at Isolated Reefs

Global Change Biology Communications, EarlyView.
The Loop Current is a seasonally and interannually dynamic mesoscale oceanographic feature in the Gulf of Mexico that strongly influences connectivity and environmental conditions across the region. We investigated the influence of Loop Current variability on coral reef disturbances at isolated reefs in the northwest Gulf, including coral disease ...

Recruitment Drives Spatial Variation in Recovery Rates of Resilient Coral Reefs

Scientific Reports, 2018
Tropical reefs often undergo acute disturbances that result in landscape-scale loss of coral. Due to increasing threats to coral reefs from climate change and anthropogenic perturbations, it is critical to understand mechanisms that drive recovery of ...
