Ex situ and in situ Magnetic Phase Synthesised Magneto-Driven Alginate Beads
(Elsevier, 2022-03-15)
[EN] Biocompatible magnetic hydrogels provide a great source of synthetic materials, which facilitate remote stimuli, enabling safer biological and environmental applications. Prominently, the ex situ and in situ magnetic ...
The implementation of irrigation leads to declines in farmland birds
(Elsevier, 2022-01-01)
[EN] Assessing the effects of agricultural intensification on biodiversity is critical for developing effective management plans for farmland conservation. Among other factors, the direct and indirect impacts of irrigation ...
Organic Bioelectronics for In Vitro Systems
(American Chemical Society, 2022-04)
[EN] Bioelectronics have made strides in improving clinical diagnostics and precision medicine. The potential of bioelectronics for bidirectional interfacing with biology through continuous, label-free monitoring on one ...
Ionogel-based hybrid polymer-paper handheld platform for nitrite and nitrate determination in water samples.
(Elsevier, 2022-05)
[EN] Nowadays, miniaturization and portability are crucial characteristics that need to be considered for the development of water monitoring systems. In particular, the use of handheld technology, including microfluidics, ...
Coastal gradients of small microplastics and associated pollutants influenced by estuarine sources
(Elsevier, 2022)
Small microplastics (SMPs) in the gulf of Cadiz was sampled at 5 m depth by pumping it through the ship's pipe system and filtered through a 45 mu m mesh size net. Our study reveals that higher densities have been found ...
Multilateral benefit-sharing from digital sequence information will support both science and biodiversity conservation
(Nature, 2022)
Open access to sequence data is a cornerstone of biology and biodiversity research, but has created tension under the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Policy decisions could compromise research and ...
High-Resolution 3D Printing Fabrication of a Microfluidic Platform for Blood Plasma Separation
(MDPI, 2022)
Additive manufacturing technology is an emerging method for rapid prototyping, which enables the creation of complex geometries by one-step fabrication processes through a layer-by-layer approach. The simplified fabrication ...
Molecular assays to reliably detect and quantify predation on a forest pest in bats faeces
(Nature Research, 2022)
[EN] Targeted molecular methods such as conventional PCR (cPCR) and quantitative PCR (qPCR), combined with species-specific primers and probes, are widely applied for pest species detection. Besides, the potential of qPCR ...
At the beginnings of the funerary Megalithism in Iberia at Campo de Hockey necropolis
(Nature, 2022)
[EN] The excavations undertaken at the Campo de Hockey site in 2008 led to the identification of a major Neolithic necropolis in the former Island of San Fernando (Bay of Cadiz). This work presents the results of the latest ...
Ancient DNA and deep population structure in sub-Saharan African foragers
(Nature, 2022)
[EN] Multiple lines of genetic and archaeological evidence suggest that there were major demographic changes in the terminal Late Pleistocene epoch and early Holocene epoch of sub-Saharan Africa(1-4). Inferences about this ...
