Seasonal Phytoplankton Characteristics Related with Region-Specific Coastal Environments in the Korean Peninsula

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
The seasonal dynamics of phytoplankton communities in Korean coastal waters (KCWs) are influenced by complex interactions between ocean currents and nearshore human activities. Despite these influences, the understanding of seasonal phytoplankton changes

MICROBIAL CHARACTERIZATION OF ABANDONED MINING AREA OF SIDI KAMBER NORTH-EAST OF ALGERI [PDF]

, 2018
The ecological importance of soil bacteria is not limited to their number or biomass, although these parameters contribute greatly. Indeed, their main asset lies in their great genetic and functional diversity.

Engineered Mycelial Scaffolds With Tunable Ultraviolet Protection, Wettability, Thermal Stability, and Spatial Mechanics

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Fungal mycelia grown into biodegradable scaffolds and infused with titania nanoparticles show enhanced ultraviolet shielding, thermal protection, and surface nonwettability. Properties were tuned by drying methods, revealing structure–function relationships.

Impact of Sustainable Binders Based on Lignin and Collagen on the Volume Stability and Mechanical Properties of MgO‐C Refractories with MgO‐C Recyclates

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Collagen hydrolysate is evaluated as a sustainable binder for MgO‐C refractories. Its thermally induced cross‐linking and gas release lead to expansion and cracking in large bricks, but tailored batches with lignin, recyclates, or fine graphite improve the gas release while thermal treatment and stability.

Biodegradable and Recyclable Luminescent Mixed‐Matrix‐Membranes, Hydrogels, and Cryogels based on Nanoscale Metal‐Organic Frameworks and Biopolymers

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The study presents biodegradable and recyclable mixed‐matrix membranes (MMMs), hydrogels, and cryogels using luminescent nanoscale metal‐organic frameworks (nMOFs) and biopolymers. These bio‐nMOF‐MMMs combine europium‐based nMOFs as probes for the status of the materials with the biopolymers agar and gelatine and present alternatives to conventional ...

An indicator-based methodology for the drought and heat risk assessment of urban green infrastructure

Ecological Indicators
More frequent and intense drought and heat events imply increased multi-risks for urban green infrastructure (UGI) and their ecosystem services. To tackle this challenge, a conceptual drought and heat risk assessment framework has been developed.

Acoustical ecological risk [PDF]

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1995
Risk-based prioritization and decision making has been implemented by the U. S. EPA in several areas to assure quality and consistency of risk and environmental assessment and to identify areas to reduce uncertainty. This talk will review the elements of risk assessment and risk management and will compare the paradigms for considering primarily ...

Selective Benzene Capture by Metal‐Organic Frameworks

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) hold significant potential for capturing benzene from air emissions and hydrocarbon mixtures in liquid phases. This capability stems from their precisely engineered structures, versatile chemistries, and diverse binding interactions.

Disrupting effects of neonicotinoids and their interaction with metals on thyroid hormone, an evidence of children in a rural area, South China

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Neonicotinoids exposure was found to induce thyroid dysfunction. However, there lack of direct evidence between neonicotinoids exposure and thyroid hormone (TH) disruption in population study, especially in children, which limits the understanding on ...
