Ship detection using optical satellite imagery by Hu, Jing

“…Traditionally, synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) satellite imagery is used due to its being “All Weather, All Day” and its prominent target reflections that make ship detection fast and robust. However, optical satellite imagery has its edge over the SAR counterpart in the choices of bands, resolutions and revisit rates, let alone the costs. …”

Thin-walled graphitic nanocages as a unique platform for amperometric glucose biosensor by Guo, Chun Xian, Zhao, Min Sheng, Shen, Yiqiang, Dong, Zhili, Li, Chang Ming

“…A thin-walled graphitic nanocages material with well-developed graphitic structure, large specific surface area and pronounced mesoporosity was synthesized and used to construct a sensing interface for an amperometric glucose biosensor, showing a high and reproducible sensitivity of 13.3 μA mM−1 cm−2, linear dynamic range of 0.02−6.2 mM, and fast response time of 5 s. It was successfully used to accurately detect glucose in human serum with effective discrimination to common interference species such as dopamine, ascorbic acid, acetaminophen, and uric acid.…”

Understanding the environmental and social risks from the international trade in ornamental plants by Hinsley, A, Hughes, AC, van Valkenburg, J, Stark, T, van Delft, J, Sutherland, W, Petrovan, SO

“…Despite risk mitigation efforts, the interception data showed considerable volumes of contaminants in ornamental plant shipments, but taxonomic identification was not always possible, highlighting uncertainties in assessing biosecurity risks. With high-volume and fast-moving transit of ornamental plants around the world, it is essential that production standards are improved and that data on specific risks from trade are collected and shared to allow for mitigation.…”
