The Giant African Land Snail Achatina fulica (Bowdich, 1720) as a Candidate Species for Bioregenerative Life Support Systems [PDF]

Журнал Сибирского федерального университета: Серия Биология, 2015
The capability of snails to consume and convert inedible plant biomass and kitchen waste was tested. Inedible biomass of wheat and cabbage and also potato peels as a food were worse than lettuce, which is an ordinary feed for snails. In order to describe

Nanoplastics: Methods, Exposure and Effects on Domestic, Farm and Wild Animals

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nanoplastics (NPs) are synthetic polymer particles ranging in size from 1 nm to 1 μm that have been identified as a major concern for ecosystems and organisms due to their plethora of negative effects. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the knowledge relating to exposure and effects of NPs in domestic (i.e., farm ...

Microemulsion‐Based Drilling Fluids Incorporating Seashell Residue Powder: A Sustainable Approach to Fluid Loss Control

Journal of Surfactants and Detergents, EarlyView.
Two microemulsion‐based drilling fluids incorporating SSRP were formulated using pine oil, the nonionic surfactant Alkonat L100W, and a glycerol/water solution. The results provide valuable insights into how surfactant‐assisted microemulsion systems can be engineered to enhance the performance and eco‐efficiency of drilling fluids.

CardiacDP: An R package for rapid automated cardiac data processing, integrating autocorrelation, a genetic algorithm, and a tracking index

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Heart rate is a popular proxy of physiological responses, but the highly complex and variable cardiac data obtained from organisms such as marine invertebrates pose a major challenge to efficient and accurate data processing. To address this, we developed a novel, integrative algorithm for rapid and automated cardiac data processing.

Bio‐Based Microfluidics With Snail Slime: A By‐Product of Agriculture Plays an Exciting Role in the Chemistry of Microfluidic Reaction Chambers

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Due to a broad spectrum of active ingredients, snail slime presents a variety of exciting physical properties and chemical reactivities. Especially in the role of the reduction‐ and stabilizing agent for the manufacturing of gold nanoparticles, its great potential is revealed. Utilising the proteins found in slime, Nanoparticle‐comprising hydrogels are

EphA2/SHP2/SOX8 Axis: A Novel Target for Regulation of Migration and Cetuximab Treatment Sensitivity in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Molecular Carcinogenesis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The development of resistance to anticancer therapies in cancer cell is a major challenge in the treatment of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), a common malignant tumor. Erythropoietin‐producing hepatocellular A2 (EphA2) affects several cancers, and this study examined its role in enhancing OSCC.

Exploitation of Rabbits at the Dawn of the Holocene: Evidence From the Font Voltada Site (Northeastern Iberia) Using Comparative Neotaphonomic Models

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During the transition from the Pleistocene to the Holocene, hunter‐gatherer societies in the northeastern Iberian Peninsula increased the number of settlements and broadened their subsistence strategies. This period is marked by the appearance of terrestrial snail accumulations attributable to human harvesting, the expansion of specialized ...
