Sensitivity of Antarctic freshwater algae to salt stress assessed by fast chlorophyll fluorescence transient. [PDF]
, 2013 In this study, we investigated the effects of salt stress (2 mM NaCl) on excitation energy transfer from light harvesting complexes to photosystem II (PS II) in two Antarctic algal species: Klebsormidium sp. and Zygnema sp.

Measurement of the Pressure induced by salt crystallization in confinement [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Salt crystallization is a major cause of weathering of artworks, monuments and rocks. Damage will occur if crystals continue to grow in confinement, i.e. within the pore space of these materials generating mechanical stresses. We report on a novel method that allows to directly measure, at the microscale, the resulting pressure while visualizing the ...

Effect of salinity stress on the life history variables of Branchipus schaefferi Fisher, 1834 (Crustacea: Anostraca) [PDF]
, 2005 BACKGROUND: Freshwater anostracans inhabit ephemeral water bodies in which as the water level decreases due to evaporation the salt concentration increases. Thus, for most anostracans salinity becomes the major stress factor.

Geomechanical Risk Analysis for the Historical Salt Cavern Saurau in Wieliczka Mine [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Based on the finite element method formulated in three dimensions, a selected area of the salt mine has been modeled, embracing totally 2 separated, historically valuable mine rooms. The results of the computer simulations permitted elastic-viscous rock mass stability analyses identifying the areas being more susceptible to damage, presently and in a ...

The Emerging 4D Printing of Shape‐Memory Thermomorphs for Self‐Adaptative Biomedical Implants
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.4D printing enables the creation of smart implants that adapt to changing conditions in the human body over time. At the core of this technology are shape‐memory thermomorphs (SMTMs). This review offers an in‐depth analysis of 4D printing with SMTMs, emphasizing the latest advancements in smart materials, stimuli, programming principles, and their ...

Two-phase pore-network model for evaporation-driven salt precipitation -- representation and analysis of pore-scale processes [PDF]
arXivEvaporation-driven salt precipitation occurs in different contexts and leads to challenges in case of e.g. soil salinization or stress-introducing precipitation in building material. During evaporation, brine in porous media gets concentrated due to the loss of water until the solubility limit is reached and salt precipitates.

Formation and Rupture of Ca$^{2+}$ Induced Pectin Biopolymer Gels [PDF]
Soft Matter, 2014, 10 (37), 7225-7233, 2014 When calcium salts are added to an aqueous solution of polysaccharide pectin, ionic cross-links form between pectin chains, giving rise to a gel network in dilute solution. In this work, dynamic light scattering (DLS) is employed to study the microscopic dynamics of the fractal aggregates (flocs) that constitute the gels, while rheological measurements
