Stimuli‐Responsive Crosslinked Chitosan/PVP/PEG Hydrogel Networks for Targeted Drug Delivery and Antimicrobial Performance

Analytical Science Advances, Volume 7, Issue 1, June 2026.
ABSTRACT In this study, a unique pH‐sensitive PEG/C/PVA hydrogel based on chitosan (C), polyvinyl propylene (PVP) and polyethylenglycol (PEG) crosslinked with tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) was fabricated. This PEG/C/PVA hydrogel was designed to deliver different drugs with distinct release profiles, including diclofenac sodium and ciprofloxacin, and ...

Engineered Stable, Antibiotic‐Free, High‐Level Protein Expression in the Probiotic Chassis Escherichia coli Nissle 1917

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 123, Issue 3, Page 776-784, March 2026.
The probiotic E. coli Nissle 1917 was engineered to enable stable and antibiotic free protein expression platforms using native plasmids. Further modification aids in the production of high‐level protein expression for antimicrobial secretion whose activity is comparable to industry standard E. coli BL21.

A whole‐genome assembly of St. Augustinegrass and visualizing diversity within the species

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract St. Augustinegrass [Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walt.) Kuntze] is a warm‐season turfgrass species in the family Poaceae. This species is a popular choice for lawns in the Southern United States, due to its higher tolerance to shade, heat and humidity.

Energized fencing reduces risk of American black bear (Ursus americanus) damage to bird feeders in Minnesota

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.
Energized fences were effective at reducing black bear damage to bird feeders. The fences were 100% effective in a good natural bear food year and 77% effective in a poor natural bear food year. When bears breached the fences, the cause was typically poor electrical grounding.

The Tar Creek Superfund and Flood Map: A Case Study in the Equitable Co‐Production of Maps for Storytelling, Environmental Activism, and Education

Community Science, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Case studies on co‐production and geographic information systems have reported on the utility and value of community members contributing local knowledge for and providing feedback on maps in ways that can increase the accuracy and usability of the map. However, how the concept for and goals of the map are co‐produced and how the maps are then

Drivers of soil and tree carbon dynamics in urban residential lawns: a modeling approach

Ecological Applications, 2017
AbstractSoils constitute the largest sink of terrestrial carbon (C), and urban soils have the potential to provide significant soil C storage. Soils in urbanized landscapes experience a multitude of human alterations, such as compaction and management subsidies, that impact soil C dynamics.
