Domestic Organic Waste: A Potential Source to Produce the Energy via a Single-Chamber Microbial Fuel Cell by Amira Suriaty Yaakop, Akil Ahmad, Fida Hussain, Sang-Eun Oh, Mohammed B. Alshammari, Raju Chauhan

“…In this article, the effective utilization of domestic organic waste as an organic supply for bacterial species to generate energy was highlighted. The findings that were obtained corresponded to the one-of-a-kind MFC operation in which a voltage of 110 mV was generated in a time span of 12 days during operation with an external resistance of 500 ῼ. …”

Numerical Simulation of Pollutant Transport in Fractured Vuggy Porous Karstic Aquifers by Xiaolin Fan, Shuyu Sun, Wei Wei, Jisheng Kou

“…This paper begins with presenting a mathematical model for contaminant transport in the fractured vuggy porous media of a species of contaminant (PCP). Two phases are numerically simulated for a process of contaminant and clean water infiltrated in the fractured vuggy porous media by coupling mixed finite element (MFE) method and finite volume method (FVM), both of which are locally conservative, to approximate the model. …”

DNA analysis indicates that Asian elephants are native to Borneo and are therefore a high priority for conservation. by Prithiviraj Fernando, T N C Vidya, John Payne, Michael Stuewe, Geoffrey Davison, Raymond J Alfred, P Andau, Edwin Bosi, Annelisa Kilbourn, Don J Melnick

“…If shown to be a unique indigenous population, this would extend the natural species range of the Asian elephant by 1300 km, and therefore Borneo elephants would have much greater conservation importance than if they were a feral population. …”

Exploring the maternal inheritance transmitted by the oocyte to its progeny by Verlhac, Marie-Hélène

“…Organisms that propagate via sexual reproduction often come from the fusion between two gametes, an oocyte and a sperm, whose qualities seem to be decreasing in the human species. Interestingly, while the sperm mostly transmits its haploid genome, the oocyte transmits not only its haploid set of chromosomes but also its huge cytoplasm to its progeny. …”

Habituation to a predatory stimulus in a harvester (Arachnida, Opiliones) by Guilherme Ferreira Pagoti, Jerry A. Hogan, Rodrigo Hirata Willemart

“…Our data show that we lack information on (1) the role played by the ambiguity of stimuli, (2) the role played by subsequent stimuli and (3) the importance of the array of defensive behaviors of a species in understanding habituation. Although ubiquitous across animals and therefore expected, habituation is described for the first time in the order Opiliones.…”
