Coastal Microbial Mat Diversity along a Natural Salinity Gradient

open access: yes, 2013
The North Sea coast of the Dutch barrier island of Schiermonnikoog is covered by microbial mats that initiate a succession of plant communities that eventually results in the development of a densely vegetated salt marsh.

Salinity-Associated Disintegration of Soil Multitrophic Networks Decouples Microbial Carbon Sequestration from Biotic Regulation

open access: yesSoil Systems
Soil salinization threatens agricultural sustainability and food security, especially in arid and semi-arid regions, yet how salinity gradients reshape multi-trophic networks and their associations with functional genes remain unclear.

Engineering Nanoplatforms for Alzheimer's Disease Detection via Biomolecular Corona Proteomic and Lipidomic Profiling

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Engineered nanoparticles capture disease‐specific biomolecular coronas that uncover hidden molecular features of Alzheimer's disease. Combined proteomic and lipidomic analyses reveal a characteristic shift in ribosomal machinery and energy metabolism, generating a multiomic fingerprint that supports accurate disease detection and opens new ...

Exergy Analysis-Potential of Salinity Gradient Energy Source

open access: yes, 2018
Mixing of fresh (river) water and salty water (seawater or saline brine) in a controlled environment produces an electrical energy known as salinity gradient energy (SGE).

Broad Ecological Niche in Seashore Lichens Emerges From a Stable, Selective Association With Generalist Algal Symbionts

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
In mutualistic systems, the ability to associate with diverse symbionts of distinct physiological traits often facilitates broadening of the niche. In lichen symbiosis, this process remains understudied.

Rapid Fabrication of Self‐Propelled and Steerable Magnetic Microcatheters for Precision Medicine

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A rapid Joule heating fabrication method for the production of self‐propelling, adaptive microcatheters, with tunable stiffness and integrated microfluidic channels is presented. Demonstrated through three microrobotic designs, including a steerable guiding catheter, an untethered wave‐crawling TubeBot, and a distal‐end propelled microcatheter, it was ...

Eastern Baltic cod larvae in a salinity gradient: choice of salinity and the role of neutral buoyancy

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology
Abstract Fish rely on multiple sensory systems to navigate in the aquatic environment, yet these mechanisms are often scarcely known during their early life history stages. Salinity is an important environmental parameter affecting the performance of fish larvae, and recent studies have shown that some larval fish use

Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy in Bionanotechnology: Current Advances and Future Perspectives

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) enables the nanoscale mapping of electrostatic surface potentials. While widely applied in materials science, its use in biological systems remains emerging. This review presents recent advances in KPFM applied to biological samples and provides a critical perspective on current limitations and future directions for

Stability analysis of an industrial salinity gradient solar pond

open access: yes
In this study, an assessment of salinity gradient stability of an industrial solar pond during two operation seasons (2014 and 2105) is presented. An industrial solar pond was constructed to supply a low-temperature heat (up to 60¿°C) to achieve the ...
