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

“…I analyze flow-cytometry data collected from 22 regional research cruises, estimate daily Synechococcus and picoeukaryote division rates from underway data, and describe the distinct depth distributions of the two groups from subsurface samples. The major findings of this thesis are that, across the NES, the picoeukaryotes divide at much higher rates than the more abundant Synechococcus and are subject to greater top-down control from grazing or viral lysis. …”

Promoting hydrogen-evolution activity and stability of perovskite oxides via effectively lattice doping of molybdenum by Zhang, Zhenbao, Chen, Yubo, Dai, Ziyang, Tan, Shaozao, Chen, Dengjie

“…We ascribe the enhanced operational stability to the formation of a low concentration of oxygen vacancy that stabilizes the crystal structure of Mo-doped SrCo0.7Fe0.3O3-δ and prevents the surface from Sr leaching/surface amorphization. These findings suggest that tuning perovskite oxide using a redox-inactive dopant featured with high valence state may provide further avenues to HER optimization.…”
