Impact of N fertilization on C balance and soil quality in maize-dhaincha cropping sequence [PDF]
Journal of Agricultural Sciences (Belgrade), 2015 Excess N fertilization to achieve high crop yield is a grand old practice in developing countries. However, inorganic nutrient sources considerably replenish soil organic C (SOC).

Sellafield-derived anthropogenic C-14 in the marine intertidal environment of the NE Irish Sea [PDF]
, 2004 The intertidal biota from Parton beach, close to the Sellafield nuclear fuel reprocessing plant, were all found to be enriched in radiocarbon relative to ambient background.

Removal of Refractory Dissolved Organic Carbon in the Amundsen Sea, Antarctica. [PDF]
, 2020 The removal mechanism of refractory deep-ocean dissolved organic carbon (deep-DOC) is poorly understood. The Amundsen Sea Polynya (ASP) serves as a natural test basin for assessing the fate of deep-DOC when it is supplied with a large amount of fresh-DOC

Seasonal variation in marine C:N:P stoichiometry: can the composition of seston explain stable Redfield ratios? [PDF]
, 2011 Seston is suspended particulate organic matter, comprising a mixture of autotrophic, heterotrophic and detrital material. Despite variable proportions of these components, marine seston often exhibits relatively small deviations from the Redfield ratio ...

Direct measurement of riverine particulate organic carbon age structure [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2012 Carbon cycling studies focusing on transport and transformation of terrigenous carbon sources toward marine sedimentary sinks necessitate separation of particulate organic carbon (OC) derived from many different sources and integrated by river systems.

Strategies for Loading and Releasing Peptide Therapeutics in Biodegradable Carriers
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A biodegradable carrier‐based peptide delivery system is a powerful treatment platform for diverse diseases, owing to its superior therapeutic efficacy and low toxicity. This review examines the conventional peptide‐loaded carrier fabrication process and its current limitations.

Diurnal and seasonal variation of particle and dissolved organic matter release by the coral Acropora tenuis [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Release rates of particulate organic carbon and nitrogen (POC and PON) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from the scleractinian coral Acropora tenuis were measured during the day and night in summer and winter seasons. Physiological parameters including

Study of the trace metal ion influence on the turnover of soil organic matter in cultivated contaminated soils [PDF]
, 2006 The role of metals in the behaviour of soil organic matter (SOM) is not well documented. Therefore, we investigated the influence of metals (Pb, Zn, Cu and Cd) on the dynamic of SOM in contaminated soils where maize (C4 plant) replaced C3 cultures. Three

Amyloidogenic Peptide Fragments Designed From Bacterial Collagen‐like Proteins Form Hydrogel
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study identified amyloidogenic sequence motifs in bacterial collagen‐like proteins and exploited these to design peptides that self‐assemble into β‐sheet fibers and form hydrogels. One hydrogel supported healthy fibroblast growth, showing promise for biocompatible materials. Our work demonstrates that bacterial sequences can be harnessed to create
