Coral reef restoration can reduce coastal contamination and pollution hazards by Marina E. Rottmueller, Curt D. Storlazzi, Fabian Frick

“…The present value of critical infrastructure protection and contamination prevention benefits provided by coral reef restoration is $3,413,503, with some areas exceeding $1,500,000/km. Annually, 48,403 U.S. gal of petrochemicals, 10,404 GPD of wastewater treatment capacity, equivalent to $281,435, could be protected from flooding, demonstrating that coral reef restoration can provide environmental risk reduction and previously undocumented additional socioeconomic benefits.…”

Application of pepsin enzyme from yellowfin tuna gastrics on the physical and histological characteristics of beef by Kurniawan Riki, Izzati Syifa Azmi Nurul, Nurhayati Tati, Jacoeb Agoes Mardiono

“…This study used a completely randomized factorial design with one factor: beef was treated with 0, 14,000, and 28,000 U/mg pepsin and stored at 4 °C for four days. The results showed that 28,000 U/mg pepsin significantly lowered pH, decreased weight percentage change, increased water-holding capacity, and reduced texture compared to other treatments. …”

Classifying synoptic patterns driving tornadic storms and associated spatial trends in the United States by Qin Jiang, Daniel T. Dawson II, Funing Li, Daniel R. Chavas

“…Using clustering analysis, this study unveils that leading synoptic patterns driving tornadic storms and associated spatial trends are distinguishable across geographic regions in the U.S. Synoptic patterns with intense forcing featured by intense upper-level eddy kinetic energy and a dense distribution of Z500 fields dominate the increasing trend in tornado frequency in the southeast U.S., generating more tornadoes per event. …”
