Mangroves are unique ecosystems that dominate tropical and subtropical coastlines around the world. They provide shelter and nursery to wide variety of species such as fish and birds. Around 73 species of mangroves were ...
Aldehyde dehydrogenase expression in Metaphire posthuma as a bioindicator to monitor heavy metal pollution in soil
(
BioMed Central
, 2016 , Article)
Background
Soil contamination and associated pollution plays a detrimental role in soil flora and fauna. Soil is processed and remodeled by subterranean earthworms, accordingly are referred to as soil chemical engineers. ...
Changes in movement organization and control strategies when learning a biomechanically constrained gait pattern, racewalking: a PCA study
(
Springer-Verlag
, 2016 , Article)
Combining advances from gait analysis and motor learning fields, this study aims to examine invariant characteristics and practice-related changes in the control of walking gait when learning a biomechanically constrained ...
TiO2 nanotubes and mesoporous silica as containers in self-healing epoxy coatings
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2016 , Article)
The potential of inorganic nanomaterials as reservoirs for healing agents is presented here. Mesoporous silica (SBA-15) and TiO2 nanotubes (TNTs) were synthesized. Both epoxy-encapsulated TiO2 nanotubes and amine-immobilized ...

This paper presents an approach for accessibility categorization in areas where there is no extensive data available to run the conventional analysis. The presented method has the advantages of the lower data requirements ...
Iterative scheme for an elliptic non-local free boundary problem
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2016 , Article)
In this paper we treat a non-local free boundary problem arising in financial bubbles, where the model is set in the framework of viscosity solutions. We suggest an iterative scheme which consists of a sequence of obstacle ...
