Spatiotemporal dynamic characteristics of typical temperate glaciers in China
China’s temperate glaciers have a relatively warm and humid climate and hydrothermal conditions at low latitudes. Temperate glaciers, however, have larger ablation, higher ice temperatures, relatively fast movement speeds, and a significant sliding ...

This study investigates the photosensitizing potential of Passiflora cincinnata in Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy (aPDT) against skin infection caused by Methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in a senescent murine model. The P. cincinnata exhibits antimicrobial activity, with reduced bacterial load, lower leukocyte infiltration, and ...

Distribution and UV protection strategies of zooplankton in clear and glacier-fed alpine lakes
Zooplankton, a group of aquatic animals important as trophic link in the food web, are exposed to high levels of UV radiation (UVR) in clear alpine lakes, while in turbid glacier-fed lakes they are more protected.

Surface Modification of Sol–Gel Synthesized Ba0.85Ca0.15Zr0.1Ti0.9O3 using Stearic Acid Additives
This study explores a novel approach to enhance the piezoelectric performance of lead‐free BCZT ceramics synthesized via the sol–gel method. By coating the BCZT powder with only a 0.69 nm stearic acid layer, the electromechanical response is significantly boosted up to 359 pC N−1, revealing promising implications for high‐performance sensor and ...

Geographical variability of bacterial communities of cryoconite holes of Andean glaciers
Cryoconite holes, ponds full of melting water with sediment on the bottom, are hotspots of biodiversity on glacier surfaces and host dynamic micro-ecosystems.

Matrix Tropism Influences Endometriotic Cell Attachment Patterns
The influence of substrate stiffness and multicellular coculture on endometriotic cell attachment to extracellular matrix‐laden microarrayed islands is reported. This model investigates early endometriotic cell attachment, aiming to capture “lesion initiation events”.

Interaction of two tributary glacier branches and implications for surge behavior [PDF]
Thesis (M.S.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2018A glacier surge is a dynamic phenomenon where the glacier after a long period of quiescence, increases its velocities by up to two orders of magnitude.
