A laboratory study of sediment transport in fringing reef environments: Sediment transport induced by low frequency motions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The patterns and rates of sediment transport across coral reefs influence numerous ecological and morphological processes, yet these dynamics still remain poorly understood. We investigated rates of sediment transport across a 1:15 scale laboratory model

Sediment transport trend and its influencing factors in coastal bedrock island sea areas-a case study of Chudao island, China

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Coastal bedrock islands sea areas have a unique natural environment, frequent human activities, and complex sedimentary dynamic processes. In this paper, we select the Chudao Island sea area off the coast of Shandong Peninsula, China, as a typical ...

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Wave simulation for the design of an innovative quay wall: the case of Vlorë Harbour [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2017
Sea states and environmental conditions are basic data for the design of marine structures. Hindcasted wave data have been applied here with the aim of identifying the proper design conditions for an innovative quay wall concept.

Septin 9 PB domains coordinate centrosome positioning and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Septin 9 polybasic domains couple phosphoinositide‐rich membrane binding to centrosome positioning, Golgi organization, and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity. Their loss disrupts this axis, causing centrosome mispositioning, Golgi fragmentation, reduced microtubule acetylation, and polarity inversion via upregulation of the ...

A hydro-morphodynamic model integrating extended sediment particle size distribution and flocculation processes for better simulating hydro-sedimentary fluxes

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2018
Many studies focusing on suspended sediment transport modelling in river systems only consider one class of sediment grain size. Rather recently, the SISYPHE sediment transport model has integrated sand-mud mixture transport processes using two classes ...

Numerical Simulation of Slope–Gully–Stream Sediment Transport Process with Water and Gravity Erosion

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Soil erosion has become a global problem with serious consequences. It is the source of sediment in rivers, and the subsequent sediment transport is important.

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Fluvial Characteristics of the Magdalena River (Colombia) and a Nature-Based Solution for Navigation Conditions

open access: yesHydrology
This study analyzes the hydro-morphological dynamics of the lower 40 km of the Magdalena River (Colombia), with particular emphasis on the reach between Malambo and the river mouth at Bocas de Ceniza.
