The hydrodynamics of the EMBR would significantly affect …             Rapid degradation of methylene blue in a novel heterogeneous Fe3O4 @rGO@TiO2-catalyzed photo-Fenton system ▶     Xiaoling Yang, Wei Chen, Jianfei Huang et al.     Herein, a ternary nanocomposite with TiO2 nanoparticles anchored on reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-encapsulated Fe3O4 spheres (Fe3O4@rGO@TiO2) is presented as a high efficient …             Shifting material source of Chinese loess since ~2.7 Ma reflected by Sr isotopic composition ▶     Wenfang Zhang, Jun Chen, Gaojun Li     Deciphering the sources of eolian dust on the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) is fundamental to reconstruct paleo-wind patterns and paleo-environmental changes. Existing datasets …             Tracing the dynamic life story of a Bronze Age Female ▶     Karin Margarita Frei, Ulla Mannering, Kristian Kristiansen et al.     Ancient human mobility at the individual level is conventionally studied by the diverse application of suitable techniques (e.g. aDNA, radiogenic strontium isotopes, as well as …             Effects of Tris(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl) Phosphate (TDCPP) in Tetrahymena Thermophila: Targeting the Ribosome ▶     Jing Li, John P. Giesy, Liqin Yu et al.     Tris(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate (TDCPP) has been frequently detected in the environment, and exposure to TDCPP appears widespread. It has been implicated to cause toxicity …             Synergetic antibacterial activity of reduced graphene oxide and boron doped diamond anode in three dimensional electrochemical oxidation system ▶     Xiujuan Qi, Ting Wang, Yujiao Long et al.     A 100% increment of antibacterial ability has been achieved due to significant synergic effects of boron-doped diamond (BDD) anode and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) coupled in a …             Shallow methylmercury production in the marginal sea ice zone of the central Arctic Ocean ▶     Lars-Eric Heimbürger, Jeroen E. Sonke, Daniel Cossa et al.     Methylmercury (MeHg) is a neurotoxic compound that threatens wildlife and human health across the Arctic region. Though much is known about the source and dynamics of its …             The up-scaling of ecosystem functions in a heterogeneous world ▶     Andrew M. Lohrer, Simon F. Thrush, Judi E. Hewitt et al.     Earth is in the midst of a biodiversity crisis that is impacting the functioning of ecosystems and the delivery of valued goods and services. However, the implications of large …             Crustal movements due to Iceland’s shrinking ice caps mimic magma inflow signal at Katla volcano ▶     Karsten Spaans, Sigrún Hreinsdóttir, Andrew Hooper et al.     Many volcanic systems around the world are located beneath, or in close proximity to, ice caps. Mass change of these ice caps causes surface movements, which are typically …             Accuracy and Precision of Silicon Based Impression Media for Quantitative Areal Texture Analysis ▶     Robert H. Goodall, Laurent P. Darras, Mark A. Purnell     Areal surface texture analysis is becoming widespread across a diverse range of applications, from engineering to ecology. In many studies silicon based impression media are used …             Emergent rogue wave structures and statistics in spontaneous modulation instability ▶     Shanti Toenger, Thomas Godin, Cyril Billet et al.     The nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) is a seminal equation of nonlinear physics describing wave packet evolution in weakly-nonlinear dispersive media. The NLSE is especially …             Do deposit-feeders compete? Isotopic niche analysis of an invasion in a species-poor system ▶     Agnes M. L. Karlson, Elena Gorokhova, Ragnar Elmgren     Successful establishment of invasive species is often related to the existence of vacant niches. Competition occurs when invaders use the same limiting resources as members of the …             Land use change influences soil C, N, and P stoichiometry under ‘Grain-to-Green Program’ in China ▶     Zhao Fazhu, Sun Jiao, Ren Chengjie et al.     Changes in land use might affect the combined C, N and P stoichiometry in soil. The Grain-to-Green Program (GTGP), which converts low-yield croplands or abandoned lands into …             Bauxite-supported Transition Metal Oxides: Promising Low-temperature and SO2-tolerant Catalysts for Selective Catalytic Reduction of NOx ▶     Xiuyun Wang, Wen Wu, Zhilin Chen et al.     In order to develop low-temperature (below 200 °C) and SO2-tolerant catalysts for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx, a series of cheap M/bauxite (M=Mn, Ni and Cu) …                     • Careers & Jobs           naturejobs.com Science jobs of the week       Postdoctoral Fellow     Thomas Jefferson University (TJU)            Vandervell Postdoctoral Fellowship     University of Exeter            Research Assistant / Associate x 2 (Fixed Term)     University of Cambridge            Postdoctoral Associates     MIT            Postdoctoral Researcher     NUI Galway            Research Assistant / Associate     University of Glasgow            Post-Doctoral Research Associate     Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center            Group Leader Positions     Medical Research Council            Postdoc Position     Hannover Medical School (MHH)            Postdoctoral Fellow     University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences          No matter what your career stage, student, postdoc or senior scientist, you will find articles on naturejobs.com to help guide you in your science career.
