(
Frontiers Media S.A.
, 2020 , Article)
Progressive pollution due to toxic metals significantly undermines global environmental sustainability efforts. Chromium (Cr) is one of the most dangerous to human health. The use of plants to rid the environment of such ...
Separation of water/oil emulsions by an electrospun copolyamide mat covered with a 2D Ti3C2Tx MXene
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
Purpose: Copolyamide 6,10 (coPA) electrospun mats were covered with multilayered (ML) and single-layered (SL) MXene (Ti3C2Tx) as a membrane for the separation of water/vegetable oil emulsions. Methods: Prepared membranes ...

In December 2019, reports of viral pneumonia came out of Wuhan city in Hubei province in China. In early 2020, the causative agent was identified as a novel coronavirus (CoV) sharing some sequence similarity with SARS-CoV ...
Genetic analysis of QTLs controlling allelopathic characteristics in sorghum
(
Public Library of Science
, 2020 , Article)
Mature sorghum herbage is known to contain several water-soluble secondary metabolites (allelochemicals). In this study, we investigated quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with allelochemical characteristics in ...

(
American Society of Plant Biologists
, 2020 , Article)
Extreme elongation distinguishes about one-fourth of cotton (Gossypium sp.) seed epidermal cells as “lint” fibers, useful for the textile industry, from “fuzz” fibers (,5 mm). Ligon lintless-2 (Li2), a dominant mutation ...
Differential survival of nursery-reared Acropora cervicornis outplants along the Florida reef tract
(
Wiley-Blackwell
, 2020 , Article)
In recent decades, the Florida reef tract has lost over 95% of its coral cover. Although isolated coral assemblages persist, coral restoration programs are attempting to recover local coral populations. Listed as threatened ...
Optimal sampling design for spatial capture–recapture
(
Wiley-Blackwell
, 2020 , Article)
Spatial capture–recapture (SCR) has emerged as the industry standard for estimating population density by leveraging information from spatial locations of repeat encounters of individuals. The precision of density estimates ...
