Assessing the Impact of Chemical Algae Management Strategies on Anurans and Aquatic Communities
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 42, Issue 1, Page 213-224, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Pond management with chemical and biological agents that reduce overgrowth of algae is an important means of maintaining water quality in residential ponds, yet the effects on nontarget species are not fully understood. We assessed the impact of Aquashade (a common nontoxic pond dye) and copper sulfate (a toxic algaecide) on American toad ...

Evaluating the Usefulness of Paratransgenesis for Malaria Control [PDF]
, 2013 Malaria is a serious global health problem which is especially devastating to the developing world. Mosquitoes are the carriers of the parasite responsible for the disease, and hence malaria control programs focus on controlling mosquito populations. This is done primarily through the spraying of insecticides, or through the use of insecticide treated ...

Dengue disease, basic reproduction number and control [PDF]
Int. J. Comput. Math. 89 (2012), no. 3, 334--346, 2011 Dengue is one of the major international public health concerns. Although progress is underway, developing a vaccine against the disease is challenging. Thus, the main approach to fight the disease is vector control. A model for the transmission of Dengue disease is presented.

State‐of‐the‐Art, Insights, and Perspectives for MOFs‐Nanocomposites and MOF‐Derived (Nano)Materials
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Different approaches to MOF‐NP composite formation, such as ship‐in‐a‐bottle, bottle‐around‐the‐ship and in situ one‐step synthesis, are used. Owing to synergistic effects, the advantageous features of the components of the composites are beneficially combined, and their individual drawbacks are mitigated.

Engineering Magnetotactic Bacteria as Medical Microrobots
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are living microorganisms that produce magnetosomes for navigation using the Earth's geomagnetic field. Their built‐in magnetic components, along with their intrinsic and/or modified biological functions, make them one of the most promising platforms for making future living and programmable microrobots.

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Pyrazolyl phosphine oxides are shown to act as dual‐responsive fluorescent sensors, displaying a selective “turn‐off” fluorescence response for Fe3+ and a “turn‐on” response for Al3+. These systems serve as a new framework in the field of sensing materials based on main‐group elements such as phosphorus. Abstract Despite a wealth of previously reported

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.This review explores the progressive design of biopolymer‐based fibrous membranes enhanced with layered carbon materials such as MXene, graphene oxide, and carbon nanotubes. It highlights how their integration significantly boosts water filtration performance, selectivity, and antifouling properties.

Do liquid drops roll or slide on inclined surfaces? [PDF]
Langmuir 2013, 29(10), 3339-3346, 2011 We study the motion of a two-dimensional droplet on an inclined surface, under the action of gravity, using a diffuse interface model which allows for arbitrary equilibrium contact angles. The kinematics of motion is analysed by decomposing the gradient of the velocity inside the droplet into a shear and a residual flow.
