Effects of Engineered Dam Releases on Benthic Assemblages During Drought and Comparison With Unregulated Reaches

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT River regulation following damming is often associated with deleterious downstream effects, in large part due to reduced total discharge and disruption of seasonal flooding. These effects would be expected to be exacerbated by drought, particularly extended drought.

Taxonomic composition of epilithic diatoms and indicator role in freshwater pools and the effect of pollution in the Keban Dam lake, Turkey

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences
The aim of this study is to determine the epilithic diatom flora of stations exposed to pollutants of different characteristics, to test the relationships of these diatoms with water quality and the suitability of environmental quality indicators, and ...

Nanomechanical Testing of Diatoms

, 2013
Diatoms, a major group of algea, are protected by a nanostructured shell, built with a design that exceeds the capabilities of human engineering. These shells, termed frustules, consist of biosilica and give the organism more than just a physicalarmor.

Analogue Methods in Palaeoecology: Using the analogue Package

Palaeoecology is an important branch of ecology that uses the subfossil remains of organisms preserved in lake, ocean and bog sediments to inform on changes in ecosystems and the environment through time.

Automated object detection based on YOLOv11 for monitoring benthic population dynamics: A new approach combining photogrammetry and open‐source GIS tools applied to sea cucumbers

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This research established a new object detection model based on YOLOv11 to recognise benthic organisms, specifically sea cucumbers, by utilising high‐resolution photogrammetric‐based orthomosaics acquired along infralittoral Mediterranean Sea beds. The model demonstrated impressive performance metrics and, when combined with the Deepness plugin for the

Effects of deposit-feeding bivalve (Macomona liliana) density on intertidal sediment stability

, 2004
Effects of macrofaunal feeding and bioturbation on intertidal sediment stability (u*crit) were investigated by manipulating density (0-3 x ambient) of the facultative deposit-feeding wedge shell (Macomona liliana) on the Tuapiro sandflat in Tauranga ...

Effect of Metal–Metal Distance on the Performance of Dual‐Atom Catalysts for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction: A Density Functional Theory and Micro‐kinetics Study

Small, EarlyView.
Density functional theory calculations and microkinetic modeling were carried out on 108 dual‐atom catalysts with varied metalmetal distances ranging from 2.2 to 3.5 Å. The results reveal that moderate spacing of around 3.0 Å promotes bridging oxygen adsorption and dissociative reduction pathways, weakens the hydroxylhydroperoxyl scaling relationship ...

Recent Advances in Bimetallic Site Catalysts for Photocatalytic Ammonia Synthesis: Synergistic Effects and Design Strategies

Small, EarlyView.
Photocatalytic ammonia synthesis employs photocatalysts to harness solar energy, driving the reduction of N2 into NH3. The synergistic effects of bimetallic active sites are used to overcome limitations of single‐metal systems and optimize electronic structures.
