Influence of Fe₂O₃ and bacterial biofilms on Cu(II) distribution in a simulated aqueous solution: a feasibility study to sediments in the Pearl River Estuary (PR China) by Kurniawan, Tonni Agustiono, Lo, Waihung, Othman, Mohd Hafiz Dzarfan, Liang, Xue, Goh, Hui Hwang, Chew, Kit Wayne

“…Due to its ability to grow as biofilm in the medium, Pseudomonas atlantica was cultivated to adsorb trace Cu(II) to attached and suspended cells. It was found that biofilms with 170-285 mequiv chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentration/m2 of total oxidizable materials accelerated the Cu(II) adsorption to the surface of the reactor significantly by a factor of five. …”

Inorganic nanoparticles–driven self–assembly of natural small molecules in water for constructing multifunctional nanocapsules against plant diseases by Liu, Li-Wei, Ding, Zheng-Hao, Ren, Gang-Gang, Wang, Guang-Di, Pan, Xin, Wei, Guo-Hai, Zhou, Xiang, Wu, Zhi-Bing, Jin, Zhi-Chao, Chi, Robin Yonggui, Yang, Song

“…In aqueous conditions, uniform curcumin nanocapsules (ZnO@Cur) are assembled through electrostatic interactions, coordination effects and hydration effects as mediated by trace of nanoscale zinc oxide. The nanocapsules obtained can be further modified to enhance stability by introducing a polydopamine coating (ZnO@Cur@PDA). …”

Migrants in between: rural migrant families' practices of settlement in a small but rapidly urbanizing Chinese city by Zhao, Haoyu

“…This study employs a multi-sided ethnography in urban Jiaonan and migrants’ villages of origin to not only investigate rural migrant families’ housing strategies in the city but also trace their relations with rural villages. The main research question is answered from three interrelated dimensions: migrants’ negotiation with changing institutional barriers of accessing housing; the dynamic relations between young migrants’ settlement intention and intra-family relationships; migration patterns and living arrangements across rural-urban divide after owning housing in the city. …”

Structural and metamorphic architecture of the Zanskar Himalaya, Suru Valley region, NW India: Implications for the evolution of the Himalayan metamorphic core by Cawood, IP, St-Onge, MR, Weller, OM, Searle, MP, Waters, DJ, Ahmad, T

“…D4 and D5 structures modify the trace of all regional metamorphic isograds. Collectively, these observations imply that the thermal peak of metamorphism was reached after the main phase of deformation (D2), and predated movement on the Zanskar Shear Zone (D3). …”

Forwards in time approaches to understanding genealogies in Λ-Fleming-Viot type models by Wiederhold, B

“…The second approach, used by the second and third project, uses neutral genetic types under an infinite-alleles model to trace families. There, we will demonstrate a profound relationship between central limit theorems and isolation by distance and thus ancestral behaviour.…”

Assessment of arterial stiffness via measurement of pulse wave velocity a study for the normotensive population by Chang, Serene Wei Nee.
