Polylimonene Improves the In Vivo Wound Healing Performance of Sodium Alginate‐Based Hydrogels

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
An oligomer derived from orange peel essential oil incorporated into an alginate hydrogel was shown to be biocompatible and to exhibit a high capacity for in vivo incisional wound healing, as confirmed by experimental assays and mathematical models fitted to the data describing wound area reduction as a function of the dressing‐tissue contact time ...

System failure? Exploring the interplay of fear of failure, competition, cooperation and sense of belonging in education in England and Flanders

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Fear of failure is damaging in a host of ways yet is rife in many schools. Drawing on self‐worth theory, we explore whether fear of academic failure is higher in education systems with features that increase students' experiences of competition. To do this, we compare two very different education systems: England, where, for instance, national

Advancing long-term phytoplankton biodiversity assessment in the North Sea using an imaging approach

Scientific Data
This paper presents a high spatial and temporal resolution microphytoplankton long-term biodiversity assessment for the southern bight of the North Sea obtained by FlowCam imaging. We describe the extension of the time series with the release of over six

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 spread of non‐native species

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

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

National implementation of the European Union policy framework for monitoring introduced non-indigenous species in marine and brackish waters: a Belgian case study based on an updated species inventory [PDF]

NeoBiota
Based on a thorough literature review and expert consultation, this study provides an inventory of all introduced non-indigenous species (iNIS) reported for Belgian marine and brackish waters. The data indicate a strong increase in iNIS in the study area

RMS massless arm dynamics capability in the SVDS [PDF]

The equations of motion for the remote manipulator system, assuming that the masses and inertias of the arm can be neglected, are developed for implementation into the space vehicle dynamics simulation (SVDS) program for the Orbiter payload system.

Methyl on the Bridge: 2‐Methyl Propellane as Precursor for 1,3‐Substituted 2‐Methylated Bicyclo[1.1.1]Pentanes

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
The synthesis of 2‐methyl propellane and its conversion to various 1,2‐ and 1,2,3‐di‐ and trisubstituted bicyclopentanes is reported. Abstract Bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes (BCPs) have emerged as isosteric replacements for mono‐ and para‐substituted benzene rings in medicinal and materials applications, involving substitution at the BCP bridgehead (1,3 ...
