Sclerozoan and fouling sabellid worms (Annelida: Sabellidae) from Mexico with the establishment of two new species by María Ana Tovar-Hernández, María Elena García-Garza, Jesús Angel de León-González

“…Oocytes develop synchronously and sperm morphology (spherical nucleus and rounded acrosome, four spherical mitochondria and a long free flagellum) suggest an adaptation to broadcast spawning and external fertilisation. Species of Notaulax here examined were gonochoric, with gametes distributed in abdominal segments.…”

Surrogacy in Indonesia: The comparative legality and Islamic perspective by Bayu Sujadmiko, Novindri Aji, Leni W. Mulyani, Syawalluddin Al Rasyid, Intan F. Meutia

“…Reproductive health technology allows married couples who experience infertility to have a child through assisted reproductive technology (ART), such as the in vitro fertilisation (IVF) process. The transfer of the extracted embryo to the woman’s womb is called surrogacy technology (gestational surrogacy). …”

Mapping the long‐term influence of river discharge on coastal ocean chlorophyll‐a by Hannah Auricht, Luke Mosley, Megan Lewis, Ken Clarke

“…This likely means that the contribution of river flow to coastal productivity and water quality is changing, potentially leading to fewer and smaller magnitude ocean fertilisation events. We developed a simple analysis method, based on Earth observation data, to investigate where coastal ocean chlorophyll‐a is most strongly influenced by river discharge. …”

The impact of ultrasound-based antenatal screening strategies to detect vasa praevia in the United Kingdom: An exploratory study using decision analytic modelling methods by Benjamin Ruban-Fell, George Attilakos, Tao Haskins-Coulter, Christopher Hyde, Jeanette Kusel, Anne Mackie, Oliver Rivero-Arias, Basky Thilaganathan, Nigel Thomson, Cristina Visintin, John Marshall

“…For this, a decision-analytic tree model was developed covering four discrete detection pathways/strategies: no screening; screening targeted at women undergoing in-vitro fertilisation (IVF); screening targeted at women with low-lying placentas (LLP); screening targeted at women with velamentous cord insertion (VCI) or a bilobed or succenturiate (BL/S) placenta. …”

Narratives and Benefits of Agricultural Technology in Urban Buildings: A Review by Michael G. Parkes, Duarte Leal Azevedo, Tiago Domingos, Ricardo F. M. Teixeira

“…The most often cited benefits are that the integration of multiple CEA technologies with energy systems or building climate systems enables the transfer of heat through thermal airflow exchange and CO₂ fertilisation to improve commercial production. However, this review shows that the data quantifying the benefits are limited and, therefore, the exact environmental effects of CEA are undetermined.…”

Shift of Dominant Species in Plant Community and Soil Chemical Properties Shape Soil Bacterial Community Characteristics and Putative Functions: A Case Study on Topographic Variati... by Jinu Eo, Myung-Hyun Kim, Min-Kyeong Kim, Soon-Kun Choi

“…Some putative functions related to C and N recycling including nitrogen fixation were correlated with pH, electrical conductivity (EC) and nutrient levels, and this also implied that some biological functions, such as ureolysis and carbon metabolism, may decline when fertilisation intensity is reduced. Taken together, these results suggest that a shift of dominant species in plant community exerts individual effects on the bacterial community composition, which is different from the effect of soil chemical properties.…”
