Sequential phreatomagmatic eruptions during the lateral propagation of giant dyke swarms by Pryce, E, Cartwright, J, Kirkham, C, Phillips, D

“…Craters are flanked by a tephra apron comprising reworked chalky sediments. The well data allow us to exclude crater forming mechanisms based on collapse into a void, but are consistent with those linked to phreatomagmatic eruption. …”

Transformation by-product identification from oxidation processes of waters containing model organic micropollutants (Nonylphenol) by Toh, Jewell Zi Le

“…Nonylphenol accumulates in environmental matrices with high organic content, such as sewage sludge, river works, and sediments, and persists in soil and groundwater due to its physical-chemical features, such as poor solubility and high hydrophobicity, hence it should be removed through water disinfection before consumption. …”

A hidden lethal effect of long microplastic fibres on the coastal copepod Acartia erythraea by Takahashi, Kazutaka, Teh, Jun Chin

“…In laboratory, starved copepods were observed to take in a piece of fibrous microplastic sedimented on the bottom. While no individual ingested the entire fibre, the tip of the ingested fibre reached deep into the gut of the copepods. …”

Myopathy-causing Q147P TPM2 mutation shifts tropomyosin strands further towards the open position and increases the proportion of strong-binding cross-bridges during the ATPase cyc... by Karpicheva, OE, Simonyan, AO, Kuleva, NV, Redwood, CS, Borovikov, YS

“…Despite its reduced affinity for actin in co-sedimentation assay, the Q147P mutant incorporates into the muscle fiber. …”

Numerical modeling of the influence of scour and scour protection on monopile dynamic behavior by Mayall, RO, Burd, HJ, McAdam, RA, Byrne, BW, Whitehouse, RJS, Heald, SG, Slater, PL

“…Scour of seabed sediments can occur around offshore foundations. For monopile-supported offshore wind turbine structures, the reduction in foundation stiffness due to scour presents certain operational challenges. …”

Protracted carbon burial following the Early Jurassic Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event (Posidonia Shale, Lower Saxony Basin, Germany) by Celestino, RFS, Ruhl, M, Dickson, AJ, Idiz, E, Jenkyns, HC, Leng, MJ, Mattioli, E, Minisini, D, Hesselbo, SP

“…The bio- and chemostratigraphic framework presented demonstrates that (i) the rock record of the T-OAE at the studied locality registered highly condensed sedimentation and/or multiple hiatuses and (ii) the deposition of organic-rich black shale extended significantly beyond the level of the T-OAE, thereby contrasting with well-studied sections of the Posidonia Shale in southern Germany but showing similarities with geographically nearby basins such as the Paris Basin (France). …”

Tapered angle microfluidic device for cell separation using hydrodynamic principle by Jamrus, Muhammad Asyraf, Ahmad, Mohd. Ridzuan

“…This design enables particle separation based on hydrodynamic theory and the sedimentation process. A mixture of 3 μm and 10 μm polystyrene (PS) microbeads were effectively separated when the taper angle approached 20 degrees, and separation continued until the taper angle reached 89 degrees. …”

Chemical dispersant enhances microbial exopolymer (EPS) production and formation of marine oil/dispersant snow in surface waters of the subarctic northeast Atlantic by Suja, Laura Duran, Chen, Xindi, Summers, Stephen, Paterson, David M., Gutierrez, Tony

“…A notable feature of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill was the unprecedented formation of marine oil snow (MOS) that was observed in large quantities floating on the sea surface and that subsequently sedimented to the seafloor. Whilst the physical and chemical processes involved in MOS formation remain unclear, some studies have shown that extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) play a role in this process. …”

离散、家国、女性 ： 韩素音的中国性论述 = Diaspora, home, feminism : the Chinese-ness in Han Suyin’s works by 梁依婷 Neo, Yi Ting

“…Han Suyin had once faced difficult choices in politics and livelihood, however she eventually chose to become the connection between different countries and willingly support the Chinese regimental changes. Her acknowledgement towards China and her awkward identity as a Chinese-European, is an interesting yet complicated case within China’s history, society and literature, and is of meaningful research value. …”

Enhancement of fexural modulus and strength of epoxy nanocomposites with the inclusion of functionalized GNPs using Tween 80 by Wan Ab Halim, Wan Zateel Aqmaer, Junid, Ramli Junid, Sazali, Norazliane, Siregar, Januar Parlaungan, Abd Razak, Jeeferie, Fitriyana, Deni Fajar, Cionita, Tezara, Jaafar, Jamiluddin

“…Characterization of nanoparticles using SEM shows that ARGNPs indicated a softer image representing a thinner layer of graphene stacks compared to T80GNP which has a tangible solid-looking image resulting from the sedimentation during the process of fltration. Elementally, both ARGNPs and T80GNPs were found to contain carbon, oxygen, and sulfur, as indicated by the EDX spectrum, with the C/O ratio for T80GNPs being 34.7% higher than that for ARGNPs, suggesting the adsorption of Tween 80 molecules on the GNPs after functionalization. …”
