Environmental drivers and spatial scaling of species abundance distributions in Palaearctic grassland vegetation
(Wiley, 2022-08)[EN] Species abundance distributions (SADs) link species richness with species abundances and are an important tool in the quantitative analysis of ecological communities. Niche-based and sample-based SAD models predict ... -
Environmental Enrichment Rescues Endocannabinoid-Dependent Synaptic Plasticity Lost in Young Adult Male Mice after Ethanol Exposure during Adolescence
(MDPI, 2021-07-16)Binge drinking (BD) is a serious health concern in adolescents as high ethanol (EtOH) consumption can have cognitive sequelae later in life. Remarkably, an enriched environment (EE) in adulthood significantly recovers ... -
Environmental enrichment shapes striatal spike-timing-dependent plasticity in vivo
(Nature, 2019-12-19)Behavioural experience, such as environmental enrichment (EE), induces long-term effects on learning and memory. Learning can be assessed with the Hebbian paradigm, such as spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP), which ... -

Environmental Impact Assessment of Chitin Nanofibril and Nanocrystal Isolation from Fungi, Shrimp Shells, and Crab Shells
(American Chemical Society, 2022-10)Chitin nanoparticles are responsible for the outstanding mechanical properties found in the exoskeletons of crustaceans and are finding applications in many scientific and technological fields. Following a Circular Economy ... -
Environmental Impact Assessment of Solid Polymer Electrolytes for Solid-State Lithium Batteries
(Wiley, 2022-10)Solid-state batteries play a pivotal role in the next-generation batteries as they satisfy the stringent safety requirements for stationary or electric vehicle applications. Notable efforts are devoted to the competitive ... -
Environmental Impacts of Graphite Recycling from Spent Lithium-Ion Batteries Based on Life Cycle Assessment
(American Chemical Society, 2021-10-22)[EN]With the emergence of portable electronics and electric vehicle adoption, the last decade has witnessed an increasing fabrication of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The future development of LIBs is threatened by the ... -
Environmental judgment in early childhood and its relationship with the understanding of the concept of living beings
(Springer, 2013)The evidence collected concerning the biocentric judgment that young children express when evaluating human actions on the environment leads some scholars to suggest that an essential understanding of the notion of living ... -
