Potassium silicate improves cellular sodium homeostasis in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars differing in salt resistance. [PDF]
Potassium silicate can decrease the uptake of sodium (Na+) into wheat cells by affecting the Na+ uptake channels and increasing ion homeostasis. Abstract Salinity causes negative impacts on crops. We investigated the effect of potassium silicate (K2SiO3) on the cytosolic uptake of sodium, [Na+]cyt, in mesophyll protoplasts of wheat cultivars differing ...

Ecosystem Models Can Predict the Consequences of Conservation Management Decisions. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Botelho et al. claimed that ecosystem models cannot make accurate population forecasts and should not be used in conservation management. We agree that producing accurate forecasts from ecosystem models is difficult, but assert that it has been achieved and their utility as a decision‐support tool is evident.

Facilitative interspecific interactions in marine vertebrates across scales: from individuals to ecosystems. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Facilitative interspecific interactions (FIIs) confer benefits to at least one participant without detriment to others. Although often less emphasised than antagonistic interactions in ecological studies, this review highlights the significant ecological role of FIIs across biological scales – from individual behaviours to population ...

Dielectrophoresis Tutorial: Inspired by Hatfield's 1924 Patent and Boltzmann's Theory and Experiments of 1874. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The first patent to describe dielectrophoresis (DEP) as a means and process to separate particles from a mixture was granted by the US Patent Office to Henry Stafford Hatfield in 1924. The novel methods of sample preparation and designs of electrode geometry covered by the patent's disclosures and claims describe the basis for most present‐day

Detection of fishing pressure using ecological network indicators derived from ecosystem models
Marine ecosystems are exposed to multiple stressors, mainly fisheries that, whenever mismanaged, may cause irreversible damages to whole food webs. Ecosystem models have been applied to forecast fisheries impact on fish stocks and marine food webs. These

Biaxial testing of canine annulus fibrosus tissue under changing salt concentrations
The in vivo mechanics of the annulus fibrosus of the intervertebral disc is one of biaxial rather than uniaxial loading. The material properties of the annulus are intimately linked to the osmolarity in the tissue.
