Bismuth/erbium co-doped optical fiber fabricated through 3D silica lithography is thermally treated with various conditions. Then the thermal treatment effect on bismuth active centers (BACs) in this fiber is investigated. The thermal bleaching of the BAC associated with Al and the BAC associated with Si is observed after thermal treatment at high temperatures (300°C-800°C). It is found that the absorption and luminescence of BACs dramatically decrease after the thermal treatment, even totally bleaching at 700°C. The results show that the temperature and dwell time have significant effects on the thermal bleaching and activation of BACs. The underlying mechanisms of these thermal-induced effects are further discussed.

Coral reefs are degrading at an accelerating rate owing to climate change. Understanding the heat stress tolerance of corals is vital for their sustainability. However, this tolerance varies substantially geographically, and information regarding coral responses across latitudes is lacking.

This study investigates the sustainable use of spp. bark through different chemical (hydrothermal, acid, alkaline, and bleaching) and physical (milling) pretreatments in the production of sustainable films. Valorization of agro-industrial residues and the demand for sustainable materials pose challenges for environmentally responsible solutions.

Coral thermal tolerance is intimately linked to their symbiotic relationships with photosynthetic microorganisms. However, the potential compensatory role of symbiotic photosynthetic bacteria in supporting Symbiodiniaceae photosynthesis under extreme summer temperatures remains largely unexplored. Here, we examined the seasonal variations in Symbiodiniaceae and photosynthetic bacterial community structures in Pavona decussata corals from Weizhou Island, Beibu Gulf, China, with particular emphasis on the role of photosynthetic bacteria under elevated temperature conditions.

As marine heatwaves and mass coral bleaching events rise in frequency and severity, there is an increasing need for high-resolution satellite products that accurately predict reef thermal environments over large spatio-temporal scales. Deciding which global sea surface temperature (SST) dataset to use for research or management depends in part on the desired spatial resolution. Here, we evaluate two SST datasets - the lower-resolution CoralTemp v3.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of aging and bleaching on the physico-mechanical properties of the different filled resin composites.
Methods: Samples of resin composites [Arabesk (A), G-aenial Anterior (G), i-LIGHT N (I) and Palfique Estelite Paste (P) \ were first divided into two subgroups. Thermal aging was applied to half of the samples.
