Bacterial biofilm colonization and succession in tropical marine waters are similar across different types of stone materials used in seawall construction by Summers, Stephen, Pek, Y. Shona, Vinod, Deepthi P., McDougald, Diane, Todd, Peter A., Birch, William R., Rice, Scott A.

“…Metagenomic assessment of marine microbial communities indicated no significant impact of material on microbial diversity, irrespective of the diverse surface chemistry and topography. Based on KEGG pathway analysis, surface properties appeared to influence the community composition and function during the initial stages of biofilm development, but this effect disappeared by Day 31. …”

Platelet activation studies on polymeric surfaces by Suzliana Sulaimi

“…Platelet activation effects varies with the nature of topography, in this case, pillars are studied. A series of immunofluorescence staining of platelets was performed to get the optimized parameters; which are 1 wash before stain as shown by the higher intensity and minimal presence of debris as compared to 2 and 0 wash at dilution factors of 1:1 and 4:1 for CD 62P and PAC-1 respectively as the intensity shift between the negative and positive control samples were more significant. …”

Kinematics of Active Deformation Across the Western Kunlun Mountain Range (Xinjiang, China) and Potential Seismic Hazards Within the Southern Tarim Basin by Guilbaud, Christelle, Simoes, Martine, Barrier, Laurie, Laborde, Amandine, Van der Woerd, Jérôme, Li, Haibing, Tapponnier, Paul, Coudroy, Thomas, Murray, Andrew

“…To quantify the rate of active deformation and the potential for major earthquakes in this region, we combine a structural and quantitative morphological analysis of the Yecheng–Pishan fold, along the topographic mountain front in the epicentral area. Using a seismic profile, we derive a structural cross section in which we identify the fault that broke during the Pishan earthquake, an 8–12 km deep blind ramp beneath the Yecheng–Pishan fold. …”
