Identifying priority zones for river restoration is important for biodiversity conservation and catchment management. However, limited data due to the difficulty of field collection has led to research to better understand the ecological status withi...
Soft robotics is an emerging technology that has shown considerable promise in deep-sea marine biological applications. It is particularly useful in facilitating delicate interactions with fragile marine organisms. This study describes the shipboard ...
Many bio-inspired robots have been developed so far after careful investigation of animals' locomotion. To successfully apply the locomotion of natural counterparts to robots for efficient and improved mobility, it is essential to understand their pr...
The aim of the study was to develop predictive models of the ecological status of rivers by using artificial neural networks. The relationships between five macrophyte indices and the combined impact of water pollution as well as hydromorphological d...
Herein, the polyphenolic content in extracts of (Petagna) Grande and L.was fully characterized for the first time. High amounts of the main compound chicoric acid () (≤30.2 ± 4.3 mg/g) were found in both species. In addition, eight flavonoids, nam...

A highly enantioselective and minimally polluting approach to optically pure chiral alcohols is developed using cheap, readily available and sustainable marine-derived fungi as catalysts. An evaluation of the synthetic potential of 13 Chinese marine ...
Whereas genomes can be rapidly sequenced, the functions of many genes are incompletely or erroneously annotated because of a lack of experimental evidence or prior functional knowledge in sequence databases. To address this weakness, we describe here...
A novel approach to overcome the acidification problem has been attempted in the present study by codigesting industrial potato waste (PW) with Pistia stratiotes (PS, an aquatic weed). The effectiveness of codigestion of the weed and PW was tested in...
As the sea ice reduces in both extent and thickness and the Arctic Ocean opens, there is substantial interest in mapping the marine ecosystem in this remote and until now largely inaccessible ocean. We used the during surveys in the Central Arctic O...
