Spatio-temporal Explicit Mapping and Quantification of Ecosystem Services Provision Area: An Application for Wind Wrosion Prevention Service in Northern China

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Many ecosystem service (ES) items, such as the wind erosion prevention service (WEPS), have spatially separated service provision and benefit areas (SPA & SBA), which are connected by directional ecosystem services flows (ESF).

Erosion rate and previous extent of interior layered deposits on Mars revealed by obstructed landslides [PDF]

, 2014
We describe interior layered deposits on Mars that have obstructed landslides before undergoing retreat by as much as 2 km. These landslides differ from typical Martian examples in that their toe height increases by as much as 500 m in a distinctive ...

The prevention of wind erosion in agriculture [PDF]

, 1977
The wind erosion is a problem over more than 80 000 hectares in the Netherlands. The damage in wind erodible areas is on the average at least 150 Dfl. per hectare per year.

Mechanical Programming of PEGDA‐β‐CD Polyrotaxane‐Based Hydrogels via Host–Guest Molecular Recognition

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A mechanically programmable hydrogel for tissue engineering is developed by modulating the molecular threading density of poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate‐β‐cyclodextrin (PEGDA‐β‐CD) polyrotaxane and combining it with β‐CD‐modified gelatin. The polyrotaxane‐guided transition from disordered pores to laminar microstructures enables precise tuning ...

Making the Case for Organ‐on‐Chip Platforms in Long‐Acting Therapeutics Development

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
LATs release drug from a tissue‐resident depot over weeks to months, improving adherence, but their development is hampered by preclinical models that cannot reproduce the coupled tissue processes, sustained release, local microenvironment change, interstitial transport, immune and foreign‐body responses, and clearance that govern depot performance in ...

CEMSYS modelled wind erosion [PDF]

, 2010
[Executive Summary]: The Leys report on wind and water erosion (Leys et al. 2009b) recommended that wind erosion modelling be undertaken to assist in reporting the extent and severity of wind erosion across Australia.

Silicone Breast Implants as a Model System for Understanding Polymer Permeation in Soft Materials In Vivo

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Silicone breast implants are presented as a model system for understanding polymer permeation in vivo. Rather than representing material failure, “gel bleed” emerges from solution–diffusion transport‐mediated. By integrating polymer architecture, physicochemical transport, and biointerfacial processes, this review provides a unified framework that ...
