Miniaturized Salinity Gradient Energy Harvesting Devices [PDF]
Molecules, 2021 Harvesting salinity gradient energy, also known as “osmotic energy” or “blue energy”, generated from the free energy mixing of seawater and fresh river water provides a renewable and sustainable alternative for circumventing the recent upsurge in global ...

Invader at the edge — Genomic origins and physiological differences of round gobies across a steep urban salinity gradient [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2023 Species invasions are a global problem of increasing concern, especially in highly connected aquatic environments. Despite this, salinity conditions can pose physiological barriers to their spread, and understanding them is important for management.

Fortnightly variability of horizontal salinity gradient affects exchange flow in the Sumjin River estuary [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 The horizontal salinity gradient has been reported to play a crucial role in fortnightly variability of estuarine exchange flow in short estuaries. However, spatiotemporal variations in the salinity gradient and exchange flow have not been examined over ...

Towards the identification of humic ligands associated with iron transport through a salinity gradient [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Humic ligands from boreal rivers have been identified as important sources of iron-binding ligands to the coastal marine environment but remain poorly characterized.

Mapping the Salinity Gradient in a Microfluidic Device with Schlieren Imaging [PDF]
Sensors, 2015 This work presents the use of the schlieren imaging to quantify the salinity gradients in a microfluidic device. By partially blocking the back focal plane of the objective lens, the schlieren microscope produces an image with patterns that correspond to

Use of a saline gradient for the diagnosis of schistosomiasis [PDF]
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2009 The development of novel methods for parasitological diagnosis that are both highly sensitive and low in cost has been strongly recommended by the World Health Organization. In this study, a new technique for diagnosis of schistosomiasis mansoni is proposed based on the differential sedimentation of eggs when subjected to a slow continuous flux of 3 ...

Increases in the abundance of microbial genes encoding halotolerance and photosynthesis along a sediment salinity gradient [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2012 Biogeochemical cycles are driven by the metabolic activity of microbial communities, yet the environmental parameters that underpin shifts in the functional potential coded within microbial community genomes are still poorly understood.
