Progress and Application of Multifunctional Hydrogel in Radioactive Skin Injury

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This review examines healing challenges in radiation‐wound injuries, where ionizing radiation impairs immune and tissue repair processes. Hydrogels, with their biocompatibility, antimicrobial properties, and drug delivery capabilities, present a transformative solution. It compares hydrogel efficacy in radiation‐induced versus common wounds, highlights

Prioritization of fish communities with a view to conservation and restoration on a large scale European basin, the Loire (France) [PDF]

, 2008
The hierarchical organization of important sites for the conservation or the restoration of fish communities is a great challenge for managers, especially because of financial or time constraints.

A global assessment of tourism and recreation conservation threats to prioritise interventions [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
We are increasingly using nature for tourism and recreation, an economic sector now generating more than 10% of the global GDP and 10% of global total employment. This growth though has come at a cost and we now have 5930 species for which tourism and recreation are conservation threats.

Self‐Assembled Physical Unclonable Function Labels Based on Plasmonic Coupling

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
This article introduces advanced anti‐counterfeit labels crafted through DNA‐guided self‐assembly of plasmonic nanoparticles. Utilizing nanosphere lithography for dense and precise nanoparticle placement, these labels feature unique, unclonable optical signatures achieved through plasmonic coupling, detectable by an economical 3D‐printed dark field ...

Limits to the use of threatened species lists [PDF]

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2002
Threatened species lists are designed primarily to provide an easily understood qualitative estimate of risk of extinction. Although these estimates of risk can be accurate, the lists have inevitably become linked to several decision-making processes. There are four ways in which such lists are commonly used: to set priorities for resource allocation ...
