We report a case of complete airway obstruction due to aspiration of muddy water. An innovative approach to clear the airway is described, which may be a potentially life saving manoeuver in similar cases of suspected muddy water aspiration.

Recently, significant breakthroughs have been made in the exploration of shale gas in the Lower Cambrian black shale of the Sichuan Basin, indicating a promising commercial extraction potential. However, there remains considerable controversy regarding the pore structural characteristics for this shale formation, especially in the deep-water region. To address this, this paper focused on core samples from two shale gas wells (Xa1 and Xb1) located in the slope-basin facies zone during the Early Cambrian.

Understanding how marine organisms respond and adapt to heat pulses and the rapidly changing climate is crucial for predicting responses of valued species and ecosystems to global warming. Here, we carried out an in situ experiment to investigate sublethal responses to heat spikes of a functionally important intertidal bivalve, the venerid clam Austrovenus stutchburyi.

We examined the potential of environmental DNA (eDNA) for identifying tsunami deposits in the geological record using lake-bottom sediments in the Tohoku region, Japan. The presence of eDNA from marine organisms in a lacustrine event deposit provides very strong evidence that the deposit was formed by an influx of water from the ocean. The diverse DNA assemblage in the deposit formed by the 2011 Tohoku-oki tsunami included DNA of marine origin indicating that eDNA has potential as an identifying proxy for tsunami deposits.

The clogging performance of single-winged labyrinth drip irrigation tapes is influenced by a variety of factors during the muddy fertilizer water irrigation process. In this paper, we designed a uniform orthogonal test to study the effects of fertilizer concentration, sediment content and working pressure on the clogging of single-wing labyrinth drip irrigation tapes. The observed data from the experiment were analysed and calculated using range analysis, variance analysis, and main-effect multiple comparison analysis, then the optimal working conditions were determined.

The Mediterranean Sea is recognized as one of the most threatened marine environments due to pollution, the unintentional spread of invasive species, and habitat destruction. Understanding the biodiversity patterns within this sea is crucial for effective resource management and conservation planning. During a research cruise aimed at assessing biodiversity near desalination plants in the vicinity of Larnaca, Cyprus, conducted as part of the WATER-MINING project (Horizon 2020), specimens of the tanaidacean genus were collected.
