DNA metabarcoding reveals wolf dietary patterns in the northern Alps and Jura Mountains

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding predator–prey interactions is crucial for wildlife management and human–wildlife coexistence, particularly in multi‐use landscapes such as western Europe. As wolves Canis lupus recolonize their former habitats, knowledge of their diet is essential for conservation, management and public acceptance.

Microplastic Detectability Investigation in Soils Using X‐Ray Microtomography

open access: yesX-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT X‐ray microtomography (microCT) is a promising tool for investigating microplastic (MP) contamination in soils, offering non‐destructive 3D visualization and quantitative analysis of particles embedded in complex matrices. This study evaluated its applicability by mixing plastic fragments (PET, PEHD, PS, and PP) with humus‐rich and sandy soils

Portable X‐Ray Fluorescence in the Assessment of Zinc Along Grizzly Bear Hair

open access: yesX-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a biomarker of past uptake of zinc, hair presents an interesting option since its growth can provide a stored record over time. This study investigates the distribution of zinc in hairs gathered from a series of grizzly bears (Ursus arctos horribilis).

PM2.5 Chemical Composition and Geographic Origin of Air Masses in Mabopane, South Africa

open access: yesX-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Air pollution is a major global threat to health. The study aimed to analyze the chemical composition of PM2.5 in Mabopane, South Africa, and to identify the contribution of transported particulate pollution sources using backward air transport cluster analysis.

Non‐Destructive Inspection of TCPs Using Pulse‐Echo Ultrasound and X‐Ray Microcomputed Tomography Techniques

open access: yesX-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Thermoplastic composite pipes (TCPs) have potential applications in offshore oil and gas industries because of their strength, lack of corrosion, and flexibility. Designed for fluid transportation in high‐pressure and high‐temperature environments, manufacturing defects and operational loads can compromise their performance.

Determining Diffusion Coefficients in Polymer Electrolyte Membranes With Lab Based Micro X‐Ray Fluorescence Analysis: A Proof of Concept

open access: yesX-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The diffusion of metal ions in polymer electrolyte membranes is an important parameter for aging and capacity loss in electrochemical cells. Here, the diffusion coefficients of vanadium ions in Nafion membranes are studied. These are important to describe transportation of the ions through the membrane separator in vanadium redox flow ...
