Microfluidics and materials for smart water monitoring: A review
(Elsevier, 2021-03-13)
Water quality monitoring of drinking, waste, continental and seawaters is of great importance to ensure safety and wellbeing for humans, fauna and flora. Researchers are developing robust water monitoring microfluidic ...
Tunable Superparamagnetic Ring (tSPRing) for Droplet Manipulation
(Wiley-VCH, 2021-05-13)
The manipulation of droplets by magnetic field forms the basis of a fascinating technology that is currently in development. Often, the movement of droplets with magnets involves adding magnetic particles in or around the ...
Multilevel responses of adult zebrafish to crude and chemically dispersed oil exposure
(Elsevier, 2021-12)
Background The application of chemical dispersants is a common remediation strategy when accidental oil spills occur in aquatic environments. Breaking down the oil slick into small droplets, dispersants facilitate the ...
An electroactive and thermo-responsive material for the capture and release of cells
(Elsevier, 2021-06-05)
Non-invasive collection of target cells is crucial for research in biology and medicine. In this work, we combine a thermo-responsive material, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), with an electroactive material, poly(3,4-ethyle ...
Application of a Biological Multilevel Response Approach in the Copepod Acartia Tonsa for Toxicity Testing of Three Oil Water Accommodated Fractions
(Elsevier, 2021-06-01)
Abstract
Copepods play a critical role in the marine food webs, being a food source for marine organisms. In this study, we investigated the toxic effects of Water Accommodated Fractions (WAFs) from three types of oil: ...
Influence of dispersant application on the toxicity to sea urchin embryos of crude and bunker oils representative of prospective oil spill threats in Arctic and Sub-Arctic seas
(Elsevier, 2021-09-09)
This study deals with the toxicity assessment of crude and bunker oils representative of prospective oil spill threats in Arctic and Sub-Arctic seas (NNA: Naphthenic North-Atlantic crude oil; MGO: Marine Gas Oil; IFO: ...
