The transient behavior of an ensemble of ellipsoidal particles in a supercooled binary melt is considered. The model laws, based on the Fokker-Planck type kinetic equation for the particle-volume distribution function, the thermal and mass integral b...
Motivated by an important application in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, we consider the non-stationary growth of a polydisperse ensemble of crystals in a continuous crystallizer. The mathematical model includes the effects of crystal nuc...
The light scattering properties of seawater play important roles in radiative transfer in the ocean and optically-based methods for characterizing marine suspended particles from in situ and remote sensing measurements. The recently commercialized LI...
The aim of this study was to assess seasonal variation in the food-web structure of fish assemblages in the East (two sites) and the South (one site) Seas of Korea, and to compare the isotopic niche areas between the regions. To do this, we analyzed...

The widespread, intentional and increasingly frequent chemical emplacement in the troposphere has gone unidentified and unremarked in the scientific literature for years. The author presents evidence that toxic coal combustion fly ash is the most lik...
Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) can carry numerous substances and penetrate deep into the respiratory tract due to its small particle size; associated harmful microorganisms are suspected to increase health risks for humans and animals. To find out t...
Microcystin can be present in variable concentrations, phases (dissolved and particulate), and structural forms (congeners), all which impact the toxicity and persistence of the algal metabolite. Conducting incubation experiments with six bloom assem...
Filter-feeding bivalves can reshape particle-associated microbial communities, yet differences between depuration biodeposits and shell-associated particulates remain unclear. We compared Ruditapes philippinarum and Paratapes undulatus using a paired...
Inland lake ecosystems function as active nodes in the global carbon cycle, yet reliable basin-scale estimates of particulate organic carbon concentration (CPOC) remain scarce owing to the optical complexity of these environments. In this study, POC...
Understanding the relationship between the formation, structure, and functionality of catalyst layers is crucial for designing catalyst layers with specific high-current-density operations. In this study, we investigated the impact of the ionomer-to-...
Particulate matter (PM2.5) in pig houses and the microorganisms in PM2.5 restrict the sustainable development of the pig industry and have a negative influence on environmental sustainability. This study aimed to investigate the morphological charact...
The bulk backscattering ratio (
This study investigates the food web structure of the Xinlicheng Reservoir, a drinking water source of critical importance in Changchun, China, by employing stable isotope analysis (SIA) to quantify the contribution ratios of four basal dietary sourc...
Earthworms are ecosystem engineers that are sensitive to land-use intensification and edaphic conditions, yet their ecology remains poorly understood in transformed semi-arid landscapes. We hypothesized that, in recently colonized agroecosystems, lan...
The Middle Jurassic in the north Western Desert, Egypt, was a time of complex tectonics and increased environmental perturbations attributed to the predominant sedimentation of organic carbon-rich fine siliciclastic and carbonate deposits of the Khat...
Coastal green tides may alter nearshore bioaerosols through coupled marine, atmospheric, and meteorological processes, yet their effects on airborne microbial communities remain poorly resolved. Atmospheric samples were collected in Aoshan Bay, Qingd...
Tropical Andean glaciers are retreating rapidly, with possible consequences for trophic structure and ecosystem processes in high Andean meltwater streams. Here, we measured the environmental characteristics, quantified pools of particulate organic m...
This study examined the horizontal distribution and environmental drivers of selected epipelagic mesozooplankton along the Turkish Levantine coast during summer 2019, together with diel vertical migration (DVM) observations conducted at a single offs...
Bacterial and phytoplankton communities are known to be in close relationships, but how natural and anthropogenic stressors can affect their dynamics is not fully understood. To study the response of microbial communities to environmental and human-i...
Bone minerals may be more complex than the prevailing opinion suggests. Understanding its biomaterial properties in health and disease may address fundamental geo/biomorphological ambiguities recurrent within its calcified cancellous hierarchy of mac...
Marine mucilage events are intensifying in semi-enclosed seas under accelerating climate- and nutrient-driven pressures, yet their ecosystem-level consequences for aquaculture-linked coastal habitats remain insufficiently documented. This study provi...
The genesis of deep-to-ultra-deep dolomite reservoirs in the Tarim Basin is crucial for exploration and development. The Cambrian subsalt dolomite reservoirs in the Tarim Basin are widely distributed, marking significant prospects for ultra-deep rese...
