Water quality in Danube Delta Lakes: An assessment using benthic macroinvertebrates community

Scientific Annals of the Danube Delta Institute, 2016
An assessment of the ecological status of selected lakes in the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve was done based on temporal and spatial variation of macroinvertebrate communities during 2012 and 2013.

Indicative ecological status assessment of the Despotovica river [PDF]

, 2018
The investigation of the Despotovica River was carried out in April 2017 with the aim to provide an indicative ecological status assessment. Phytobenthos and aquatic macroinvertebrate communities were followed as well as physico-chemical parameters of ...

Dual‐Functional Ingestible Passive Capsules for High‐Throughput Intestinal Sampling with Sealed Containment and Targeted Drug Delivery

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
To address challenges in high‐throughput intestinal sampling with sealed containment and target drug delivery, we developed a dual‐functional ingestible passive capsule with a dual‐triggered control system based on pH‐response and mechanical actuation.

Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

Estimating the value of achieving "Good Ecological Status" in the Boyne River Catchment in Ireland using choice experiments [PDF]

, 2012
Following the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD), integrated catchment management plans must be prepared for all river basins in order to achieve "Good Ecological Status" (GES) in all EU waters.

Degradable Magnetic Composites from Recycled NdFeB Magnets for Soft Actuation and Sensing

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents a degradable soft magnetic composite made from recycled NdFeB particles embedded in a gelatin‐based organogel. The material is processed into magnetic sensors and soft robotic components, which can later be dissolved in a green solvent to recover NdFeB magnetic particles.

Cumulative effects of climate change and land use on the ecological status of Scandinavian lakes show contrasted interactions in different ecoregions: the role of pre-disturbance conditions in assessing ecological status [Elektronisk resurs]

In this study, we used subfossil chironomids to assess temporal changes in lake ecological status over the last ca . 100 years in 30 lakes spread across different ecoregions in Sweden.

Fitting complex ecological point process models with integrated nested Laplace approximation

, 2013
Summary 1. We highlight an emerging statistical method, integrated nested Laplace approximation (INLA), which is ideally suited for fitting complex models to many of the rich spatial data sets that ecologists wish to analyse. 2.
