Ice-wedge casts in eastern Hokkaido, Japan

open access: yesJournal of Geography (Chigaku Zasshi), 1974
Recently some ice-wedge casts or pseudo structures have been reported in the lowlands of Hokkaido. In present paper ice-wedge casts in three localities (Fig. 1) are surveyed and described in detail.Ice-wedge casts consisting of fine materials driven from superficial deposits cut through stratified volcanic ash or terrace gravel.

High-centered polygons in the Sør Rondane Mountains, East Antarctica: Possible effect of ice wedge sublimation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Small high-centered polygons, 3-15m in diameter, dominate moraine fields in an inland cold desert of the Sør Rondane Mountains, Antarctica. They mainly occur on moraine fields at two stages younger than 1Ma. The polygons on the younger moraine (

Ultrastable Photoactive Halide Perovskite Nanocrystal‐Sensitized SnO2 Nanorods for Room‐Temperature NO2 Detection

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Metal oxide (MOx)‐based NO2 gas sensors typically require high temperatures or ultraviolet light, limiting their practical use. To enable visible‐light activation at room temperature, efficient and stable photosensitizers should be integrated with nanostructured MOx hosts.

Pre-late Devensian high-arctic marine deposits in SW Scotland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We present new interpretations of Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data and marine fossils collected from three sites on the Rhins of Galloway which, contrary to recent proposals, suggest that the landforms and deposits of the region do not represent ...

Bioinspired Stabilization of Fluorescent Au@SiO2 Tracers for Multimodal Biological Imaging

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates a bioinspired stabilization strategy for fluorescent gold‐silica nanoparticles. Inspired by natural biosilica maturation, high‐temperature calcination transforms the silica shells, preventing dissolution in cell culture media and intracellular environments.

High‐Resolution and Real‐Time In Situ Generation of Cellular Spheroids by Laser‐Assisted Bioprinting for Guided Microvascularization

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Micro‐injection laser‐assisted bioprinting enables ultrafast and precise patterning of small endothelial cell spheroids by injecting a highly concentrated single‐cell suspension into GelMA/ColMA hydrogels. In co‐culture with fibroblasts, controlled pre‐vasculogenic network formation is obtained at microscale resolution.

Regional Patterns and Asynchronous Onset of Ice-Wedge Degradation since the Mid-20th Century in Arctic Alaska

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2018
Ice-wedge polygons are widespread and conspicuous surficial expressions of ground-ice in permafrost landscapes. Thawing of ice wedges triggers differential ground subsidence, local ponding, and persistent changes to vegetation and hydrologic connectivity
