Efficacy of riprap design for protection of quay structures against propeller-induced scouring by Tan, Qin Xiang

“…Modern-day vessels can cause severe scouring around quay structures during berthing and unberthing manoeuvres. The scouring of sediment bed near the toe of quay structures might subsequently result in instability of the quay structure. …”

Effect of geometry on temporal development of quasi-1D jet scour by Tan, Ian Haoyang

“…Experimental dimensions such as sediment size (d50), impingement height of jet (H), mean jet velocity (U0) and scour bed length (L) were varied in order to examine their effect on scour development. …”

Site-level variation in parrotfish grazing and bioerosion as a function of species-specific feeding metrics by Lange, Ines D., Perry, Chris T., Morgan, Kyle Meredith, Roche, Ronan, Benkwitt, Cassandra E., Graham, Nicholas A. J.

“…Parrotfish provide important ecological functions on coral reefs, including the provision of new settlement space through grazing and the generation of sediment through bioerosion of reef substrate. Estimating these functions at an ecosystem level depends on accurately quantifying the functional impact of individuals, yet parrotfish feeding metrics are only available for a limited range of sites, species and size classes. …”

Development a novel paradigm for characterization of emerging contaminants in mixed-use anthropogenic impacted watersheds by Lee, Theodora Hui Yian

“…Emerging contaminants are found ubiquitously in all environmental matrices including surface water, groundwater and sediment, suggesting their propensity to be transported over large distances and persistent in the environment due to continuous input from anthropogenic sources. …”

Pollen geochronology from the Atlantic coast of the united states during the last 500 years by Christie, Margaret A., Bernhardt, Christopher E., Parnell, Andrew C., Shaw, Timothy Adam, Khan, Nicole S., Corbett, Dorbett Reide, García-Artola, Ane, Clear, Jennifer, Walker, Jennifer S., Donnelly, Jeffrey P., Hasse, Tobias R., Horton, Benjamin P.

“…Inconsistencies were likely related to the hyperlocality of pollen chronohorizons, mixing of salt marsh sediment, reworking of pollen from nearby tidal flats, misidentification of pollen signals, and inaccuracies in or misinterpretation of other age markers. …”

Role of different dendritic cell subsets in vivo by Abdul Rashid Mohammad Muzaki

“…In a dextran sodium sulphate (DSS) model of colonic inflammation, ablation of CD103+ CD11b- colonic DCs resulted in exacerbated colitis, while ablation of colonic CD103+ CD11b+ DCs resulted in resistance to colitis when subjected to the same DSS regiment. Hence our results highlight the opposing roles of these two distinct colonic DC subsets in controlling DSS-induced colonic inflammation. …”
