Voices From the Coast: Stakeholder Participation and Perception on Creating a Marine Protected Area

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explores participatory processes in the context of marine conservation, with a specific focus on recent initiatives undertaken by the Apulia region in Italy to establish a new Marine Protected Area (MPA). Employing a qualitative cross‐sectional methodology, the study investigates how local communities perceive and engage with the ...

Characterization of sea-urchin fibronectin [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1983
Sea-urchin fibronectin from the ovary of the sea urchin Pseudocentrotus depressus bound to gelatin, fibrin and fibrinogen. After mild digestion of the protein labelled with 125I, a 195 000 Da domain was observed. Sea-urchin fibronectin was aggregated by spermine (1 mM) at neutral pH.

Synthesis of Sea Urchin-Like NiCo2O4 via Charge-Driven Self-Assembly Strategy for High-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries

Nanoscale Research Letters, 2019
In this study, hydrothermal synthesis of sea urchin-like NiCo2O4 was successfully demonstrated by a versatile charge-driven self-assembly strategy using positively charged poly(diallydimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA) molecules. Physical characterizations

Sustainability Certifications as Strategic Tools: Environmental Accountability, Institutional Robustness and Global Convergence

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainability certifications are increasingly used as strategic tools to advance accountability for environmental sustainability. This study addresses the challenge of fragmented national certification standards by proposing and applying a replicable method to assess the structural robustness and convergence of industry‐specific ...

Phylogenomics of strongylocentrotid sea urchins [PDF]

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2013
Strongylocentrotid sea urchins have a long tradition as model organisms for studying many fundamental processes in biology including fertilization, embryology, development and genome regulation but the phylogenetic relationships of the group remain largely unresolved. Although the differing isolating mechanisms of vicariance and rapidly evolving gamete

Synthesis and Cytotoxic Evaluation of Glucoconjugated Ethylmompain Derivatives

Natural Product Communications, 2017
Quinone-carbohydrate conjugates of ethylmompain, a pigment of the sea urchin Echinothrix diadema , and its chlorinated analog were synthesized. The cytotoxic activity and contraceptive properties of the synthesized compounds have been investigated using ...

MXenes as a Versatile Platform for High‐Energy‐Density Asymmetric Supercapacitors

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
MXenes with high conductivity and tunable surface chemistry are reviewed as advanced electrodes for asymmetric supercapacitors. MAX‐phase synthesis, surface and interlayer engineering, defect modulation, and composite designs are discussed, highlighting enhanced ion transport, pseudocapacitance, energy density, cycling stability, and sustainable routes

Laboratory on sea urchin fertilization [PDF]

Molecular Reproduction and Development, 2011
AbstractSince about 1880, the eggs and sperm of sea urchins have been used for the study of fertilization, the metabolic activation of development and gene regulatory mechanisms governing embryogenesis. Sea urchin gametes are a favorite material for observations of the process of fertilization in advanced high school, community college, and university ...

The Composition, Diversity and Predictive Metabolic Profiles of Bacteria Associated With the Gut Digesta of Five Sea Urchins in Luhuitou Fringing Reef (Northern South China Sea)

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Sea urchins strongly affect reef ecology, and the bacteria associated with their gut digesta have not been well studied in coral reefs. In the current study, we analyze the bacterial composition of five sea urchin species collected from Luhuitou fringing

Recombinant Monoclonal Antibodies for Detecting the Tubulin Post‐Translational Modifications Glutamylation and Lysine‐40 Acetylation

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Post‐translational modifications (PTMs) to tubulin subunits in microtubule filaments are thought to comprise a component of the tubulin code that specifies microtubule functions in cell physiology and animal development. Acetylation of Lysine‐40 (K40) on α‐tubulin (αTub‐K40ac) and glutamylation of both α‐ and β‐tubulin are two tubulin PTMs of ...
