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.

Effect of feeding spent coffee grounds on the methane production in bovine rumen.

The environmental impact of methane, a greenhouse gas emitted from ruminants, is a pressing issue and methods to control methane emissions from ruminants are being investigated worldwide. In this study, we investigated the effects of the administration of spent coffee grounds (SCG) on methane production in the rumen in two cows. In the control condition (days 1 and 2), the cows were fed a basic diet twice daily (roughage and concentrate), and in the SCG condition (days 1 and 2) sequentially, the cows were fed the same basic diet and administered SCG into the rumen twice daily.

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are fluorescent materials that have been developed as sensors for measuring the activities of enzymes. However, most sensors to date rely on end-point measurement and empirical functions to correlate enzyme concentrations with fluorescence responses. Less emphasis is put on analyzing time-dependent fluorescence responses and their connections with enzymatic kinetics.

Background: Amalgamation of metal-tolerant plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) with biochar is a promising direction for the development of chemical-free biofertilizers that can mitigate environmental risks, enhance crop productivity and their biological value. The main objective of the work includes the evaluation of the influence of prepared bacterial biofertilizer (BF) on biometric growth parameters as well as physiological and biochemical characteristics of rapeseed ( L.) at copper action.

Background: There is a growing interest in exploring the biological characteristics of nanoparticles and exploring their potential applications. However, there is still a lack of research into the potential genotoxicity of fullerene derivatives and their impact on gene expression in human cells. In this study, we investigated the effects of a water-soluble fullerene derivative, C60[C6H4SCH2COOK]5H (F1), on human embryonic lung fibroblasts (HELF).
