Oyster reefs are biodiversity hotspots with multiple ecosystem functions and services that are declining worldwide.Historic populations of European oysters (Ostrea edulis) have been decimated by overfishing and are nowadays considered functionally extinct in European waters.To halt and reverse the associated biodiversity loss, oyster reef restorati
Phosphatidylcholine On the basis of the scaling approach and CORSIKA simulations data the radial scale factor of the lateral distribution of electrons in extensive air showers is confirmed as a potentially effective primary mass estimator, and its sensitivity to hadronic interaction model is investigated.It is shown that improved composition result
Microplastic pollution appears to be one of the major environmental problems in the world today, and researchers have been paying special attention to the study of the impact of microplastics on biota.In this article, we studied the short-term effects of polystyrene micro-spheres on genome integrity using the gametes of the Scaphechinus mirabilis s
The article provides information on the morphology and morphogenesis of minerals from kimberlites and their scattering halos.The principal morphogenetic characteristics of the main kimberlite indicator minerals are discussed in detail.The most common types of microrelief on the minerals, their diagnostic features, and the genesis are described.Phys
Members of the species Rickettsia are obligate intracellular, gram-negative, arthropod-borne pathogens of humans and other mammals.The life-threatening character of diseases caused by many Rickettsia species and the lack of reliable protective vaccine against rickettsioses strengthens the importance of identifying new protein factors for the potent
