Transition Metal Dichalcogenide‐Based Composites in Powder Bed Additive Manufacturing for Electrochemical Applications—A Review

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
The robust electrochemical sustainability of additively manufactured high‐performance nanocomposites is substantially dependent on overcoming material selection, process optimization, operational scalability, and design flexibility challenges. Integrating transition metal dichalcogenides into metal‐matrix composites, laser powder bed fusion directly ...

Malware "Ecology" Viewed as Ecological Succession: Historical Trends and Future Prospects [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
The development and evolution of malware including computer viruses, worms, and trojan horses, is shown to be closely analogous to the process of community succession long recognized in ecology. In particular, both changes in the overall environment by external disturbances, as well as, feedback effects from malware competition and antivirus ...

Elucidating and Biomimicking the Coloration Mechanisms Responsible for the Vibrant Blue Hues of the Common Kingfisher

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
This study reveals why the back feathers of a common kingfisher show various non‐iridescent blueish structural colors by analyzing the internal structures of the feathers. It demonstrates how structural differences lead to the different optical interactions, thereby producing different colors.

Succession of Bacterial Communities in a Seasonally Stratified Lake with an Anoxic and Sulfidic Hypolimnion

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Although bacteria play key roles in aquatic food webs and biogeochemical cycles, information on the seasonal succession of bacterial communities in lakes is still far from complete.

Disentangling the effects of geographic and ecological isolation on genetic differentiation [PDF]

arXiv, 2013
Populations can be genetically isolated both by geographic distance and by differences in their ecology or environment that decrease the rate of successful migration. Empirical studies often seek to investigate the relationship between genetic differentiation and some ecological variable(s) while accounting for geographic distance, but common ...

Ecological succession of the microbial communities of an air‐conditioning cooling coil in the tropics

Indoor Air: International Journal of Indoor Environment and Health, 2017
Air-conditioning systems harbor microorganisms, potentially spreading them to indoor environments. While air and surfaces in air-conditioning systems are periodically sampled as potential sources of indoor microbes, little is known about the dynamics of ...

Dual Charge Transfer Mechanisms in Intimately Bonded S‐scheme Heterojunction Photocatalyst with Expeditious Activity toward Environmental Remediation

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
A novel MBOdCN S‐scheme heterojunction photocatalyst is fabricated using pristine Mg‐Bi2O3 and grayish g‐C3N4, where dynamic dual charge migration paths occur to accelerate exciton dissociation. This composite catalyst realizes high degradation efficiency of up to 99.56% of oxytetracycline (OTC) removal under optimized conditions. The material exhibits
