Low biodegradability of dissolved organic matter from Southeast Asian peat-draining rivers by Nichols, Robert S., Martin, Patrick

“…Here, we assess the potential for using phenol oxidase assays as a proxy for tDOC biodegradation across peat-draining rivers and the coastal waters of Sarawak, Borneo, and report experimental measurements of microbial tDOC remineralization rates from this region. …”

Picophytoplankton of the Northeast U.S. Shelf: Community Composition and Dynamics by Stevens, Bethany Lynn Fowler

“…Both groups are light limited in the fall, temperature limited in the spring, and undergo earlier spring blooms in warmer offshore waters. For Synechococcus, the relationships between cell concentration, division rate and environmental parameters are consistent across the continental shelf, while the picoeukaryote community appears to be nutrient-limited farther from shore. …”

Aerodynamics modelling of floating offshore wind turbines by Singapore Wala, Abdulqadir Aziz

“…FOWTs allow wind turbines to be placed in deeper waters with stronger and more consistent winds. However, the floating platform motions result in motions of the wind turbine not found in fixed-bottom wind turbines, thus the widely-used blade element momentum (BEM) method, a static analysis method, cannot be used to calculate wind turbine blade forces. …”

Enhancing early warning: A DNA biosensor with polyaniline/graphene nanocomposite for label-free voltammetric detection of saxitoxin-producing harmful algae by Chwan Chuong Chin, Jeremy Jason, Akbar, Muhamad Afiq, Mohd Yusof, Nurul Yuziana, Pike, Andrew, Goh, Choo Ta, Mustapha, Shuhadah, Tan, Ling Ling

“…Hence, this research aims to develop a single DNA biosensor that can detect a group of HAB species known for producing saxitoxin (SXT), which is commonly found in Malaysian waters. The screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE)-based DNA biosensor was fabricated by covalent grafting of the 3’ aminated DNA probe of the sxtA4 conserved domain in SXT-producing dinoflagellates on the reverse-phase polymerized polyaniline/graphene (PGN) nanocomposite electrode via carbodiimide linkage. …”

From phosphate to refugees: the offshore refugee boom in the Republic of Nauru by Morris, J

“…In the golden age of raw material, but amid political populist appeal, anyone who makes their way by boat and claims to be a refugee in Australian territorial now excised waters is offshored to Nauru or Manus Island for refugee processing and resettlement. …”

Studies on GaN based HEMT heterostructures on 100-mm silicon grown by molecular beam epitaxy by Ravikiran Lingaparthi

“…Using in-situ curvature measurements, different stages of buried crack formation such as the crack initialization and growth of strain free 2nd AlN followed by the lateral overgrowth of the cracked AlN were identified. …”
