Short Note: Report of mummified leopard seal carcass in the southern Dry Valleys, McMurdo Sound, Antarctica.

open access: yes, 2010
The wide spread occurrence of mummified seal and penguin carcasses tens of kilometres from the open ocean is an interesting phenomenon occurring in the Antarctic Dry Valleys.

Identifying the high entropy effect on plastic dynamics in bulk metallic glasses: A nanoindentation study at room and elevated temperatures

open access: yesMaterials & Design, 2020
In this study, the spatiotemporal dynamic analyses of intermittent plastic flow in the nanoindentation of different Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs), at various temperatures, were carefully performed to provide insight into the amorphous structural-property ...

Corrosion-resistant cobalt phosphide electrocatalysts for salinity tolerance hydrogen evolution

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Seawater electrolysis is a viable method for producing hydrogen on a large scale and low-cost. However, the catalyst activity during the seawater splitting process will dramatically degrade as salt concentrations increasing.

SEAL: Sealed-Bid Auction Without Auctioneers [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security, 2020
We propose the first auctioneer-free sealed-bid auction protocol with a linear computation and communication complexity O(c), c being the bit length of the bid price. Our protocol, called Self-Enforcing Auction Lot (SEAL), operates in a decentralized setting, where bidders jointly compute the maximum bid while preserving the privacy of losing bids.

Mitigating the Effects of Maternal Loss on Harbour Seal Pups in Captive Care

open access: yesAnimals
Stranded newborn “orphan” harbour seal pups entering captive care are often maintained for some weeks in isolation, mainly as a precaution against the spread of infection. However, this practice raises concerns for the welfare and normal socialisation of

In-situ formation of nitrogen doped microporous carbon nanospheres derived from polystyrene as lubricant additives for anti-wear and friction reduction

open access: yesFriction, 2023
This study presents a nitrogen-doped microporous carbon nanospheres (N@MCNs) prepared by a facile polymerization–carbonization process using low-cost styrene.

How to Boost Close-Range Remote Sensing Courses Using a Serious Game: Uncover in a Fun Way the Complexity and Transversality of Multi-Domain Field Acquisitions

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Close-range remote sensing, and more particularly, its acquisition part that is linked to field robotics, is at the crossroads of many scientific and engineering fields.

Polarization‐resolved femtosecond Vis/IR spectroscopy tailored for resolving weak signals in biological samples using minimal sample volume

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Unique biological samples, such as site‐specific mutant proteins, are available only in limited quantities. Here, we present a polarization‐resolved transient infrared spectroscopy setup with referencing to improve signal‐to‐noise tailored towards tracing small signals. We provide an overview of characterizing the excitation conditions for polarization‐

A light‐triggered Time‐Resolved X‐ray Solution Scattering (TR‐XSS) workflow with application to protein conformational dynamics

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Time‐resolved X‐ray solution scattering captures how proteins change shape in real time under near‐native conditions. This article presents a practical workflow for light‐triggered TR‐XSS experiments, from data collection to structural refinement. Using a calcium‐transporting membrane protein as an example, the approach can be broadly applied to study ...
