Instability of Langmuir-beam waves: Kappa-distributed electrons
(
American Institute of Physics Inc.
, 2023 , Article)
In space plasmas, electron populations exhibit non-equilibrium velocity distributions with high-energy tails that are reproduced by the Kappa power-laws and contrast with the Maxwellian distributions often used in theoretical ...
Recycling of gas-to-liquid sludge as a potential organic amendment: Effect on soil and cotton properties under hyperarid conditions
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Gas-to-liquid (GTL) sludge is a specific wastewater treatment by-product, which is generated during the industrial process of natural gas conversion to transportation fuels. This least studied sludge is pathogen-free and ...
Kappa-Distributed Electrons in Solar Outflows: Beam-Plasma Instabilities and Radio Emissions
(
Springer Science and Business Media B.V.
, 2023 , Article)
Electrostatic (ES) wave instabilities are assumed to be at the origin of radio emissions from interplanetary shocks, and solar coronal sources are most likely induced by electron beams, more energetic but less dense than ...
Emergent community architecture despite distinct diversity in the global whale shark (Rhincodon typus) epidermal microbiome
(
Nature Research
, 2023 , Article)
Microbiomes confer beneficial physiological traits to their host, but microbial diversity is inherently variable, challenging the relationship between microbes and their contribution to host health. Here, we compare the ...
Impaired Liver Size and Compromised Neurobehavioral Activity are Elicited by Chitosan Nanoparticles in the Zebrafish Embryo Model
(
MDPI
, 2019 , Article)
The use of chitosan nanoparticles (ChNPs) in various biological and environmental
applications is attracting great interest. However, potential side effects related to ChNP toxicity
remain the major limitation hampering ...
A first look at whale sharks in Hawaiian waters: Using citizen science to study the world's largest fish, Rhincodon typus
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2023 , Article)
The world's largest fish, the whale shark (Rhincodon typus), is a circum-tropically distributed and globally endangered species, that is widely studied at predictable aggregation sites. The main Hawaiian Islands are not ...
Reduction kinetics of ceria surface by hydrogen
(
Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
, 2004 , Article)
Powdered cerium dioxide (ceria, CeO2) as compressed, sintered pellets, of porosity 16.4% and density 5.99 g cm−3, were treated in hydrogen flow at 1 atm and various temperatures to effect reduction. The electrical conductivity ...
Socio-cultural relationship between recreational sea anglers and blue sharks (Prionace glauca) in the United Kingdom
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2023 , Article)
The blue shark (Prionace glauca) is commonly caught by recreational anglers around the United Kingdom (UK) – part of a population (North Atlantic) which has sustained declines of > 50% over the last three generations (36 ...
Toxicity assessment of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate using zebrafish embryos: Cardiotoxic potential
(
Elsevier
, 2024 , Article)
Plasticizers are considered as newly emerged contaminants. They are added to plastics to increase their flexibility and softness. Phthalate plasticizers including the Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalates (DEHP) are toxic and induce ...
Diving into the vertical dimension of elasmobranch movement ecology
(
American Association for the Advancement of Science
, 2022 , Article)
Knowledge of the three-dimensional movement patterns of elasmobranchs is vital to understand their ecological roles and exposure to anthropogenic pressures. To date, comparative studies among species at global scales have ...
