From lithotroph- to organotroph-dominant: directional shift of microbial community in sulphidic tailings during phytostabilization

 
 

Xiaofang Li, Philip L. Bond, Joy D. Van Nostrand et al.

 
 

Engineering microbial diversity to enhance soil functions may improve the success of direct revegetation in sulphidic mine tailings. Therefore, it is essential to explore how …

 
 
 
 
 
 

A radon-thoron isotope pair as a reliable earthquake precursor

 
 

Yong Hwa Oh, Guebuem Kim

 
 

Abnormal increases in radon (222Rn, half-life = 3.82 days) activity have occasionally been observed in underground environments before major earthquakes. However, 222Rn alone …

 
 
 
 
 
 

Contribution of Fe3O4 nanoparticles to the fouling of ultrafiltration with coagulation pre-treatment

 
 

Wenzheng Yu, Lei Xu, Nigel Graham et al.

 
 

A coagulation (FeCl3)-ultrafiltration process was used to treat two different raw waters with/without the presence of Fe3O4 nanoparticle contaminants. The existence of Fe3O4

 
 
 
 
 
 

A highly stable minimally processed plant-derived recombinant acetylcholinesterase for nerve agent detection in adverse conditions

 
 

Yvonne J. Rosenberg, Jeremy Walker, Xiaoming Jiang et al.

 
 

Although recent innovations in transient plant systems have enabled gram quantities of proteins in 1–2 weeks, very few have been translated into applications due to technical …

 
 
 
 
 
 

Fast analysis of 29 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and nitro-PAHs with ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-atmospheric pressure photoionization-tandem mass spectrometry

 
 

Shih-Chun Candice Lung, Chun-Hu Liu

 
 

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and nitro-PAHs are ubiquitous in the environment. Some of them are probable carcinogens and some are source markers. This work presents an …

 
 
 
 
 
 

Silver Nanorods Wrapped with Ultrathin Al2O3 Layers Exhibiting Excellent SERS Sensitivity and Outstanding SERS Stability

 
 

Lingwei Ma, Yu Huang, Mengjing Hou et al.

 
 

Silver nanostructures have been considered as promising substrates for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) with extremely high sensitivity. The applications, however, are …

 
 
 
 
 
 

Scale-dependency of the global mean surface temperature trend and its implication for the recent hiatus of global warming

 
 

Yong Lin, Christian L. E. Franzke

 
 

Studies of the global mean surface temperature trend are typically conducted at a single (usually annual or decadal) time scale. The used scale does not necessarily correspond to …

 
 
 
 
 
 

Effect of Support on the Activity of Ag-based Catalysts for Formaldehyde Oxidation

 
 

Jianghao Zhang, Yaobin Li, Yan Zhang et al.

 
 

Ag-based catalysts with different supports (TiO2, Al2O3 and CeO2) were prepared by impregnation method and subsequently tested for the catalytic oxidation of formaldehyde (HCHO) …

 
 
 
 
 
 

Genetic data from algae sedimentary DNA reflect the influence of environment over geography

 
 

Kathleen R. Stoof-Leichsenring, Ulrike Herzschuh, Luidmila A. Pestryakova et al.

 
 

Genetic investigations on eukaryotic plankton confirmed the existence of modern biogeographic patterns, but analyses of palaeoecological data exploring the temporal variability …

 
 
 
 
 
 

miR-98 and its host gene Huwe1 target Caspase-3 in Silica nanoparticles-treated male germ cells
