Small scale 3D jet scour by Nuramirah Suyin Zaihan

“…Analysis of the compiled data points suggests that the scour hole geometry was influenced by the sediment size of the bed material (d50), the mean velocity of jet at culvert pipe outlet (Uo) and the tailwater depth (Ho). …”

Petrogenesis of Permian high-Mg diorites in the northern margin of the North China Craton: Evidence of crust–mantle interaction by Li, M, Xu, X, Palin, RM

“…The Nd-Hf isotopic compositions of the high-Mg diorites are decoupled as a consequence of interactions between subducting sediment-derived fluids and mantle peridotite. In light of the above, we propose a two-stage process for the formation of the Xinhure high-Mg diorite, comprising (1) partial melting of enriched mantle peridotite followed by (2) interaction between mantle-derived high-Mg diorite melts and continental crust-derived melts. …”

From the microbial to the mechanical : environmental impacts on coral nitrogen cycling, microbial communities, and skeletal properties by Moynihan, Molly Anne

“…Between coral samples, environments with higher SST, lower salinity, and increased sedimentation exhibit lower absolute mechanical properties. …”

Deformation and its surface expression in stressed planetary materials by Seltzer, Cassandra

“…This work models how tidal stresses interact with local topographic stresses to create fracture across Titan’s crust, creating pathways for sediment generation and fluid transport.…”

The legacy of polders: Diagnosing complex flooding processes and adaptation options in the coastal region of Bangladesh by Adnan, MSG

“…It identifies suitable TRM sites to model sediment deposition in those areas. The potential impact of TRM on flooding is investigated by comparing flood susceptibility ‘before and after’ the implementation of TRM.…”

Effect of Longitude-Dependent Cloud Coverage on Exoplanet Visible Wavelength Reflected-Light Phase Curves by Webber, M. W., Lewis, N. K., Marley, M., Morley, C., Fortney, J. J., Cahoy, K.

“…We then extend our application of the model to the exoplanet Kepler-7b and consider the effect of varying cloud species, sedimentation efficiency, particle size, and cloud altitude. …”

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. …”

Translational GTPase BipA is involved in the maturation of a large subunit of bacterial ribosome at suboptimal temperature by Goh, Kwok Jian, Ero, Rya, Yan, Xin-Fu, Park, Jung Eun, Kundukad, Binu, Zheng, Jun, Sze, Siu Kwan, Gao, Yong-Gui

“…Based on the growth curve, soft agar swimming assay, and sucrose gradient sedimentation analysis, mutation of the catalytic residue His78 rendered plasmid-borne bipA unable to complement its deletion phenotypes. …”

Tectonic influences on late Holocene relative sea levels from the central-eastern Adriatic coast of Croatia by Shaw, Timothy Adam, Plater, Andrew J., Kirby, Jason R., Roy, Keven, Holgate, Simon, Tutman, Pero, Cahill, Niamh, Horton, Benjamin Peter

“…We enumerated fossil foraminifera from a short salt-marsh sediment core constrained vertically by modern foraminiferal distributions, and temporally by radiometric analyses providing sub-century resolution within a Bayesian age-depth framework. …”

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. …”
