Role of functionally dominant species in varying environmental regimes: evidence for the performance-enhancing effect of biodiversity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background Theory suggests that biodiversity can act as a buffer against disturbances and environmental variability via two major mechanisms: Firstly, a stabilising effect by decreasing the temporal variance in ecosystem functioning due to compensatory ...

Ionic Conductive Textiles for Wearable Technology

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Recent advances in ionic conductive textiles for wearable technology are summarized, with a focus on soft ionic conductors that exhibit skin‐like flexibility and tissue‐like ion dynamics. Their structures, key characteristics, manufacturing methods, and diverse applications are reviewed.

Detecting Cr6+ at ≈100 pM Concentration with Fluorescence Enhancement Signatures in a Novel Eco‐Fluorophore: Matching WHO's 96 pM Recommended Standard for Drinking Water

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Through a dual‐functionalization strategy, carbon quantum dots (CQD) with exceptional fluorescence properties are engineered. These CQD are integrated with graphitic carbon nitride to form a 2D/2D heterostructure via both covalent and non‐covalent modification.

CO2‐Responsive Smart Wood Scaffold for Natural Organic Matter Removal without Secondary Pollution

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A CO2‐responsive smart wood scaffold is developed for sustainable water purification, achieving efficient natural organic matter (NOM) removal and microbial disinfection without secondary pollution. The CO2‐responsive polymer coating undergoes protonation upon CO2 exposure, enabling strong cation−π interactions with NOM.

Draft genome sequence of a co-harbouring blaNDM-5 and mcr-1.1 Escherichia coli phylogroup A isolate associated with patient colonisation in Ireland

open access: yesJournal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance
Objectives: While Escherichia coli phylogroup-A is typically associated with commensal strains, some isolates can harbour virulence and exhibit multidrug-resistant (MDR) phenotypes.

Antimicrobial resistance: An ecological approach to a growing threat

open access: yesCleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine, 1998
Antibiotic resistance among pathogenic bacteria poses an increasing threat. To control it, we need a concerted effort from clinicians, patients, farmers, pharmaceutical companies, and public health officials.

The Fabrication of Superhydrophobic Coatings Using Food‐Grade Wax Dispersions

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A method is presented for creating superhydrophobic materials using a simple mixture of food‐grade wax and solvent. By varying the solubility and dispersibility of the wax as the solvent is replaced, superhydrophobic coatings can be achieved on different substrates using spray coating.

Pyrosequencing Approach for SNP Genotyping in Plants Using a M13 Biotinylated Primer

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2015
Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), which constitute single base-pair variations in the DNA sequence, are the most abundant molecular markers in plant and animal genomes.
