Particle swarm optimization algorithm for parameter estimation in Gamma-Poisson distribution model of k-tree distance [PDF]
Computational Ecology and Software, 2015 Distance sampling is a flexible and efficient inventory technique in forestry and ecology, especially in highly dense plant communities, and in difficult terrain. Point-to-tree distance or tree-to-tree distance was used to estimate characteristics of the

Physical factors in benthic ecology: effects of changing sand particle size on beach fauna
Oceanographic Literature Review, 1996 This paper reports on the disposal of diamond mine tailings on a Namibian sandy beach. Coarse sand in the tailings greatly increases the grain slze of the affected parts of the beach and thereby provides the opportunity to assess the effects of changing ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This review explores functional and responsive materials for triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) in sustainable smart agriculture. It examines how particulate contamination and dirt affect charge transfer and efficiency. Environmental challenges and strategies to enhance durability and responsiveness are outlined, including active functional layers ...

Bipolar Hydrogen Production by Hybrid Water Electrolysis
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This review focuses on the recent advances in uniqueness bipolar H2 production from the oxidation of representative small molecules, including 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural, formaldehyde, alcohols, and N‐heterocycle amides. The target electrocatalysts and the underlying mechanisms are discussed in respect to specific substrate oxidation.

A New Experimental Study and SPH Comparison for the Sequential Dam-Break Problem
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020 The floods following the event of a dam collapse can have a significant impact on the downstream environment and ecology. Due to the limited number of real-case data for dam-break floods, laboratory experiments and numerical models are used to understand

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The pyrene and ether groups are incorporated into the covalent triazine polymer (CTP) structure. The synergistic effect of the two functional groups endows CTP with better electron transfer, light absorption, and oxygen activation properties. An impressive apparent quantum yield (13.2% @420 nm) and a remarkable solar‐to‐chemical conversion efficiency ...

Stormwater runoff drives viral community composition changes in inland freshwaters
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014 Storm events impact freshwater microbial communities by transporting terrestrial viruses and other microbes to freshwater systems, and by potentially resuspending microbes from bottom sediments. The magnitude of these impacts on freshwater ecosystems is
