Opportunities and Challenges for Including Oyster-Mediated Denitrification in Nitrogen Management Plans.

Nitrogen pollution is one of the primary threats to coastal water quality globally, and governmental regulations and marine policy are increasingly requiring nitrogen remediation in management programs. Traditional mitigation strategies (e.g.

Social network analysis of publication collaboration of accelerating change in MedEd consortium.

Introduction: The American Medical Association formed the Accelerating Change in Medical Education Consortium through grants to effect change in medical education. The dissemination of educational innovations through scholarship was a priority. The objective of this study was to explore the patterns of collaboration of educational innovation through the consortium's publications.

A Social Network Analysis of the Western Journal of Emergency Medicine Special Issue in Educational Research and Practice.

Introduction: Scholarship and academic networking are essential for promotion and productivity. To develop education scholarship, the Council of Emergency Medicine Directors (CORD) and Clerkship Directors of Emergency Medicine (CDEM) created an annual Special Issue in Educational Research and Practice of the Western Journal of Emergency Medicine. The objective of this study was to evaluate the network created by the special Issue, and explore changes within the network over time.

Direct Observation of Corrosive Wear by Scanning Probe Microscopy.

Tribocorrosion involves mechanical wear in a corrosive environment, damaging the protective oxide layer of passivating alloys and increasing material loss rates. Here, we develop a nanoscale, technique using scanning probe microscopy in an electrochemical cell to explore the phase-by-phase tribocorrosion behavior of a heat-treated duplex stainless-steel alloy with secondary phases. We found that under anodic potentials well within the passive oxide region, sliding mechanical contact initiated pitting corrosion and increased electrochemical cell current localized to regions undergoing pitting.
