Assessing Bioinspired Topographies for their Antifouling Potential Control Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
Biofouling is the accumulation of unwanted material on surfaces submerged or semi submerged over an extended period. This study investigates the antifouling performance of a new bioinspired topography design.

Three-dimensional numerical study of submerged spatial hydraulic jumps

Journal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2020
A three-dimensional numerical model was applied to simulate submerged spatial hydraulic jumps (SSHJ) downstream of a symmetric vent that discharges into a wider channel.

A Novel Air‐Liquid Interface Exposure System for Continuous Gas Exposure of Airway Epithelial Cells: Exposure of NO2 With Viral Co‐Challenge

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Most in vitro toxicological research investigating the effects of inhaled compounds employ short‐term exposures of a couple of hours, or repeated, intermittent exposures for a limited number of days with exposure free periods, whereas in reality, we are continuously exposed, albeit to variable concentrations.

Corticosterone Under Experimental Manipulation of Nutrition and Parasite Burden in a Wild Rodent System

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental pressures shape survival and life‐history dynamics partly by triggering the release of glucocorticoids, whose short‐term benefits but long‐term costs make it essential to understand what drives their levels. Here, we used an experimental manipulation of two environmental stressors—food availability and parasite burden—to directly

Influence of bio-filter configurations on hydraulic aspects while enhancing the sustainable self-purification of agricultural drainage water

Frontiers in Environmental Science
As global climate change exacerbates water scarcity, recycling agricultural drainage water is emerging as a promising solution in water resources-limited regions. This research investigated the hydraulic impact of using gravel bio-filters in contaminated

Effect of Submerged and Floating Plants on Dissolved Oxygen Dynamics and Nitrogen Removal in Constructed Wetlands

Tropical Agricultural Research, 2011
Dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration affects the treatment processes in constructed wetlands. This study examined the dissolved oxygen dynamics and total nitrogen removal in constructed wetlands with submerged and floating plants. Four constructed wetland

A New Approach to the Analysis of Dissolved Gases Using Passive Samplers, With Portable Mass Spectrometry and Gas Chromatography Techniques. [PDF]

Rapid Commun Mass Spectrom
ABSTRACT Rationale Portable mass spectrometry systems such as miniRUEDI enable rapid and low‐cost field analysis of dissolved gases with high temporal resolution. However, they remain poorly suited for discrete small‐volume water samples. This study presents an approach based on passive sampling for groundwater and surface waters dissolved gases and ...

Hydraulic reconstruction of catastrophic drainage from the Late Glacial, Lake Fraser, British Columbia, Canada

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glacial Lake Fraser, which formed in British Columbia against the retreating Cordilleran Ice Sheet, stored ~520 km3 of water before its near‐total drainage into the Salish Sea during an outburst flood event. Despite the impact of the outburst flood on sediment transport and landscape evolution in the Fraser River valley, its peak discharge and

Delineation and mapping of coastal shark habitat within a shallow lagoonal estuary.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Estuaries function as important nursery and foraging habitats for many coastal species, including highly migratory sharks. Pamlico Sound, North Carolina, is one of the largest estuaries in the continental United States and provides a variety of potential

Microencapsulation of bioactive compounds from peanut residues: stability study and application in yogurt

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Peanut skin, a byproduct of peanut processing, is a rich source of phenolic compounds (520.65 mgGAE (100 g)−1 d.b.) with strong antioxidant capacity, but which remains underutilized. The direct incorporation of phenolic extracts into dairy products is challenging, due to their instability during processing and storage and possible ...
