ECOLOGICAL UNIQUENESS AND THE DETERMINANTS IN ARID DESERT ECOSYSTEMS OF NORTHWEST CHINA


Evaluation of the Antimicrobial Peptide, RP557, for the Broad-Spectrum Treatment of Wound Pathogens and Biofilm

The relentless growth of multidrug resistance and generation of recalcitrant biofilm are major obstacles in treating wounds, particularly in austere military environments where broad-spectrum pathogen coverage is needed.Designed antimicrobial peptides (dAMPs) are constructed analogs of naturally occurring AMPs that provide the first line of defense

Bank erosion events and processes in the Upper Severn basin

This paper examines river bank retreat rates, individual erosion events, and the processes that drive them in the Upper Severn basin, mid-Wales, UK.Traditional erosion pin networks were used to deliver information on patterns of downstream change in erosion rates.In addition, the novel automatic Photo-Electronic Erosion Pin (PEEP) monitoring system
