Morphology and properties of periwinkle shell asbestos-free brake pad
Journal of King Saud University, Engineering Sciences, 2016 The development of asbestos-free automotive brake pad using periwinkle shell particles as frictional filler material is presented. This was with a view to exploiting the characteristics of the periwinkle shell, which is largely deposited as a waste, in ...

Local Conditions and Environmental Gradients Shape the Abundance and Size Structure of a Non-Native Intertidal Species in Atlantic North America. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe investigated how density and body size of the non‐native intertidal snail Littorina littorea vary along a 10° latitudinal gradient (> 1700 km) in North America. Our analyses show that local substrate complexity drives density patterns, whereas body size is shaped by climatic factors, with higher and more variable summer temperatures reducing ...

Trematode infection buffers heat stress in blue mussels Mytilus edulis: The role of heat shock proteins. [PDF]
J Anim EcolThe study shows that parasite infection changes heat shock protein expression and can increase heat tolerance in blue mussels. By separating parasite and temperature effects, the results suggest that infection may improve survival during heat stress, highlighting important parasite–host interactions for climate change resilience. Abstract The influence
