Impact of hydrodynamics on community structure and metabolic production of marine biofouling formed in a highly energetic estuary.

Biofouling is a specific lifestyle including both marine prokaryotic and eukaryotic communities. Hydrodynamics are poorly studied parameters affecting biofouling formation. This study aimed to investigate how water dynamics in the Etel Estuary (Northwest Atlantic coasts of France) influences the colonization of artificial substrates.

The colonial legacy of herbaria.

Herbarium collections shape our understanding of Earth's flora and are crucial for addressing global change issues. Their formation, however, is not free from sociopolitical issues of immediate relevance. Despite increasing efforts addressing issues of representation and colonialism in natural history collections, herbaria have received comparatively less attention.

The influence of the Li addition rate during the hydrothermal synthesis of LiFePO on the average and local structure.

A hydrothermal method was used to synthesize LiFePO to explore the effect of the rate of addition of the Li precursor to a mixture of the Fe and PO precursors. Both the average and local structures were investigated using powder X-ray diffraction, Mössbauer spectroscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Slower addition rates led to increased oxidation of Fe to Fe despite purging all solutions constantly, as well as increased defects.

Typification of 14 names in the group (Caryophyllaceae).

The nomenclature of 14 taxa from Central and Southern Europe within the group is discussed. Jord., Jord.

[Pituitary apoplexy following coronary bypass surgery: A case report and literature review].

Introduction: Pituitary apoplexy is a >rare entity that presents with a sudden onset of headache associated with visual and endocrinological disturbances due to pituitary hemorrhage or infarction. It usually occurs in patients with an unknown pituitary adenoma. Cardiac surgery, and especially coronary artery bypass grafting, can be a precipitating factor in these patients.
