Urban Habitat Quality Enhancement and Optimization under Ecological Network Constraints

Land
The process of urbanization leads to the rapid expansion of construction land and brings a series of ecological and environmental problems. The ecological network, as a linear landscape element, is of great significance to improve the quality of the ...

Encapsulating Textiles with Dynamic Covalent Networks for Sustainable and Efficient Oil Spill Cleanup

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
By encapsulating industrially relevant fabrics with dynamic imine networks, we show that the resulting composites exhibit exceptional oil absorbtion capability and chemical recyclability. It is poised for sustainable oil spill cleanup. ABSTRACT The development of high‐performance sorbents for oil spill remediation is highly desirable, which now calls ...

Flow Regime: Habitat and Macroinvertebrate Response [PDF]

Rivers are complex linear features, (Petts, 1994). Assessing habitat quality and composition has traditionally focused on reaches of 10s metres, recently interest has moved to the mesoscale (100s of metres) e.g. Paraseiwicz (2001); Maddock and Bird (1996)

MicrobeDiscover: A Knowledge Graph–Enabled AI Framework for Identifying Microbes for Inorganic Nanomaterial Biosynthesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Microbial synthesis of nanomaterials (NMs) is eco‐friendly, but the screening of microorganisms is limited by inefficient traditional methods (currently only involving∽400 microorganisms/90 NMs). We propose AI framework MicrobeDiscover, integrating a knowledge graph of microbe‐NM interactions.

Spatial Assessment of the Potential Impact of Infrastructure Development on Biodiversity Conservation in Lowland Nepal

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2018
Biodiversity is declining at an unprecedented rate with infrastructure development being one of the leading causes. New infrastructure, such as roads, provides new access and results in increased land clearing and wildlife hunting.

Reconfigurable Acoustofluidic Microvortices for Selective Microcargo Delivery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work introduces a frequency‐encoded, reconfigurable acoustofluidic system that overcomes the low throughput and poor selectivity of conventional micro‐delivery methods. By exploiting discrete microbubble resonances to program adaptive microvortex modes, the platform enables real‐time switching and selective guidance of microscale payloads through ...
