Heavy Metal Contamination in Arenillas Ecological Reserve Soils: Correlation and Conservation Impact
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study addresses the critical knowledge gap regarding heavy metal contamination in the soils of the Arenillas Ecological Reserve (AERv), located on the southwest coast of Ecuador. Despite being a fragile and highly biodiverse ecosystem, little is known about the magnitude, spatial distribution, and drivers of heavy metal contamination in ...

Microbially Influenced Corrosion in Epoxy‐Ceramic Coated Carbon‐Steel Cooler
Materials and Corrosion, EarlyView.A significant localization of corrosion attacks up to 1 mm deep were found in coated carbon‐steel cooler. Corrosion products and biofilm were enriched in mixed bacterial community including the genera Sulfuritalea and Methylotenera. Analysis of metabolic markers confirmed their coexistence with sulfate‐reducing bacteria.

Adsorbable and Antimicrobial Amphiphilic Block Copolymers with Enhanced Biocompatibility
Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.Permanently implanted biomaterials are prone to attract microorganisms and thus represent niches for infections in vivo. Absorbable, antimicrobial polymers have emerged as a promising option. To improve the compatibility of adsorbable antimicrobial polymers with human cells, the block composition of the polycationic segment is modified regarding the ...
