AI Article Synopsis

  • Studying the impacts of climate change on oceanic carbon cycling is crucial for improving carbon sequestration efforts, particularly in the Ulleung Basin.
  • From 2011 to 2017, research showed that particulate organic carbon (POC) flux increased significantly during the El Niño years, with rises of 37%, 56%, and 43%.
  • Analysis of water current data indicated that current variability plays a key role in enhancing particle transport, influencing the increased flux of sinking particles during the El Niño phase.

Article Abstract

Understanding the impacts of climate change on oceanic carbon cycling is important from a carbon sequestration perspective. A sediment trap study focused on the biological carbon pump system in the Ulleung Basin (UB) in the southwestern part of the East Sea (Japan Sea) was conducted from 2011 to 2017. Particulate organic carbon (POC) flux significantly increased by 37, 56, and 43% from 2014 to 2016 during the El Niño phase. We examined data related to water current variability, such as sea surface height, current velocity, and eddy frequency to understand their roles in particle transport. In addition, a Martin curve was employed to analyze the rate of vertical attenuation of POC flux in the UB. Current variability could be the most important factor influencing the increase in sinking-particle flux during the El Niño phase.

Exploiting cost-effective hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysts is crucial for sustainable hydrogen production. However, currently reported nanocatalysts usually cannot simultaneously sustain high catalytic activity and long-term durability. Here, we report the efficient synthesis and activity tailoring of a chainmail catalyst, isolated platinum atom anchored tungsten carbide nanocrystals encapsulated inside carbon nanotubes (Pt/WC@CNTs), by confined flash Joule heating technique.

The development of new medicines with unique methods of antimicrobial action is desperately needed due to the emerging multidrug-resistant bacteria, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Therefore, antimicrobial peptoids have emerged as potential new antimicrobials. Thirteen peptoid analogues have been designed and synthesized via solid phase synthesis.

The topic of data storage, traceability, and data use and reuse in the years following experiments is becoming an important topic in Europe and across the world. Many scientific communities are striving to create open data by the FAIR principles. This is a requirement from the European Commission for EU-funded projects and experiments at EU-funded research infrastructures (RIs) and from many national funding agencies.

Unlabelled: The rising atmospheric concentration of CO is a major concern to society due to its global warming potential. In soils, CO-fixing microorganisms are preventing some of the CO from entering the atmosphere. Yet, the controls of dark CO fixation are rarely studied .

is an important bacterial pathogen implicated in infections such as mastitis, metritis, pneumonia, and liver abscesses in both domestic and wild animals, as well as endocarditis and prosthetic joint infections in humans. Understanding the genomic and metabolic features that enable to colonize different anatomical sites within a host and its inter-kingdom transmission and survival is important for the effective control of this pathogen. We employed whole-genome sequencing, phenotype microarrays, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing to identify genomic, metabolic and phenotypic features, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes in recovered from different livestock, companion, and wildlife animals.
