Chemical composition and dynamics of biofilm matrix in hydrated, live Shewanella oneidensis biofilms by Ding, Yuanzhao

“…Hence, S. oneidensis biofilms of the wild-type and mutant CP2-1-S1 were used for comparative studies of biofilm matrix composition and dynamics in the second part of this thesis. In the second part of this thesis, biofilm matrix chemical composition of live S. oneidensis MR-1 wild-type and the mutant CP2-1-S1 biofilms were comparatively analysed through SALVI-TOF-SIMS under hydrated conditions. …”

The divergent fates of primitive hydrospheric water on Earth and Mars by Wade, Jon, Dyck, Brendan, Palin, Richard M., Moore, James Daniel Paul, Smye, Andrew J.

“…Although some of the water on Mars was lost to space via photolysis following the collapse of the planet’s magnetic field3,4,5, the widespread serpentinization of Martian crust6,7 suggests that metamorphic hydration reactions played a critical part in the sequestration of the crust. Here we quantify the relative volumes of water that could be removed from each planet’s surface via the burial and metamorphism of hydrated mafic crusts, and calculate mineral transition-induced bulk-density changes at conditions of elevated pressure and temperature for each. …”

Vortical patterns behind a tapered cylinder oscillating transversely by Techet, A. H., Hover, F. S., Triantafyllou, M.S.

“…Within certain frequency ranges a single mode dominates in the wake, consisting of shedding along the entire span of either two vortices per cycle (`2S' mode), or four vortices per cycle (`2P' mode); but within specific parametric ranges a hybrid mode is observed, consisting of a `2S' pattern along the part of the span with the larger diameter and a `2P' pattern along the part of the span with the smaller diameter. …”
