Light Manipulation by Single Cells: The Case of Diatoms

Journal of Spectroscopy, 2016
Diatoms are ubiquitous monocellular microalgae, responsible for about 20–25% of the global oxygen produced by photosynthesis. Living in environments where sunlight is not so easily accessible, evolution shaped diatoms in order to exploit light with high ...

Marine silicon for biomedical sustainability

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Schematic illustrating marine silicon for biomedical engineering. Abstract Despite momentous divergence from oceanic origin, human beings and marine organisms exhibit elemental homology through silicon utilization. Notably, silicon serves as a critical constituent in multiple biomedical processes.

Diatom-Specific Oligosaccharide and Polysaccharide Structures Help to Unravel Biosynthetic Capabilities in Diatoms

Marine Drugs, 2015
Diatoms are marine organisms that represent one of the most important sources of biomass in the ocean, accounting for about 40% of marine primary production, and in the biosphere, contributing up to 20% of global CO2 fixation.

Shaping research in marine functional connectivity for integrated and effective marine science and management

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Effective knowledge of ecological connectivity at sea and at the land–sea interface is key to supporting global policy goals to conserve and restore ocean biodiversity and function. However, a persistent lack of commonality in terminology and understanding around the concept of connectivity in marine ecological studies hampers its integration ...

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Diatomic Gasdynamic Lasers [PDF]

The Physics of Fluids, 1972
Predictions from a numerical model of the vibrational relaxation of anharmonic diatomic oscillators in supersonic expansions are used to show the extent to which the small anharmonicity of gases like CO can cause significant overpopulations of upper vibrational states.

Fear of grazing rivals the toxin‐inducing effects of nutrients in two marine harmful algae – a meta‐analysis

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT One of the major subfields of chemical ecology is the study of toxins and how they mediate interactions between organisms. Toxins produced by harmful algae (phycotoxins) impact a wide variety of organisms connected to the marine food web. Significant research efforts have thus aimed to identify the ecological and evolutionary drivers behind ...

Properties of Cement-Based Materials Incorporating Ground-Recycled Diatom

Crystals
This research investigates the use of recycled diatomaceous earth (diatomite) from the wine, beer, and oil industries as supplementary cementitious materials in cement-based mixtures. This study aims to reduce embodied energy and promote circular economy

Carbon‐Supported Dual‐Nickel Atom Catalysts With Stabilized Ni─N3 Active Sites for Efficient CO2 Electroreduction

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Dual‐nickel atom catalysts (Ni‐DACs) are developed to stabilize unsaturated Ni─N3 atomic sites by constructing N3Ni─NiN3 dual‐atom structures from coal. Benefiting from the modulated electronic structure that optimizes intermediate adsorption, Ni‐DACs outperform Ni‐SACs in CO2 electroreduction, achieving a max FECO of 98.6% at −0.8 V vs RHE and a TOF ...

Rate constant calculations on fast diatom–diatom reactions

J. Chem. Soc., Faraday Trans., 1991
A new method for calculating rate constants for fast reactions between two diatomic molecules is presented. The method involves applying a rotationally adiabatic capture theory with a simultaneous treatment of the rotational motions of both molecules. Results from calculations for dipole–dipole (SO + OH) and dipole–quadrupole (CN + O2) interactions are
