Evaluation of the biological treatment of a real contaminated groundwater through reductive dechlorination biostimulation by Hafsa Yaqoubi, Hafsa Yaqoubi, Geremia Sassetto, Maria Presutti, Mustapha Belfaquir, Bruna Matturro, Bruna Matturro, Simona Rossetti, Laura Lorini, Marco Petrangeli Papini, Marco Zeppilli, Marco Zeppilli

“…Conversely, the RD performance of microcosms with real contaminated groundwater was negatively affected by the combined presence of TeCA and sulphate, indicated by a low abundance of D. mccartyi (<3%) and low RD rates (up to 0.39 µeq/Ld), suggesting that the native microbial population lacked the capacity for effective dechlorination. …”

A Low Complexity Dual-Phase Alternating Scheme is Used With the PTS Method to Reduce PAPR for B5G Systems by Yung-Ping Tu, Chen-Wei Hsu

“…It can significantly reduce the computational complexity due to only being made in the simple amplitude phase-reverse operation for maximum <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\beta $ </tex-math></inline-formula> critical amended subcarriers. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves better PAPR performance and computational complexity regardless of the waveform than previous well-known techniques, such as PTS, selective mapping (SLM), etc. …”

Identification and characterization of Faecalibacterium prophages rich in diversity-generating retroelements by Anastasia Gulyaeva, Lei Liu, Sanzhima Garmaeva, Marloes Kruk, Rinse K. Weersma, Hermie J. M. Harmsen, Alexandra Zhernakova

“…Finally, we noted that four phages were less prevalent in the metagenomes of inflammatory bowel disease patients compared to a general population cohort, a difference mainly explained by differences in the abundance of the host bacteria. Our study highlights the utility of prophage identification and induction for unraveling phage molecular mechanisms and ecological interactions.IMPORTANCEWhile hundreds of thousands of phage genomes have been discovered in metagenomics studies, only a few of these phages have been characterized experimentally. …”

From fear to food: predation risk shapes deer behaviour, their resources and forest vegetation by Martin, Jean-Louis, Chamaillé-Jammes, Simon, Salomon, Anne, Gomez Pourroy, Devana Veronica, Schlaeflin, Mathilde, Le Saout, Soizic, Lucas, Annick, Bentaleb, Ilham, Chollet, Simon, Pattison, Jake, Martin-Blangy, Soline, Gaston, Anthony James

“…The translocation of unwary deer from a population without risk to the island where culls had partially restored the vegetation, showed that their unwary behaviour was not significantly modified in the presence of abundant and higher-quality forage. This contrasted with the wary behaviour observed in the local deer born after the culls. …”

Field margins as substitute habitat for the conservation of birds in agricultural wetlands by Mallet, Pierre, Bechet, Arnaud, Sirami, Clelia, Mesleard, Francois, Blanchon, Thomas, Calatayud, Francois, Dagonet, Thomas, Gaget, Elie, Leray, Carole, Galewski, Thomas

“…We investigated whether the area of three types of field margins (reed strips, grass strips and hedgerows) within a 500 meter buffer around the centroid of each crop fields had an effect on the abundance of bird species from three groups defined based on their primary habitat (reedbeds, grasslands, and forest edge species). …”

Feed resources, feeding system and feed balance of dairy cattle in Chencha District, Southern Ethiopia by Kechero Yisehak, Kore Adane

“…To address these issues, alternative feed production technologies should be implemented, such as farmers practising forage development on their own crop land and collecting crop residues during crop harvesting times and storing them under shed; the nutritive value of different types of fodder trees and shrubs should be further determined in the future and feed storage methods, particularly hay and silage, should be used when there are an abundance of feed resources available.…”

Microbial-Induced Carbonate Precipitation for Strengthening Soft Clay by J. Z. Xiao, Y. Q. Wei, H. Cai, Z. W. Wang, T. Yang, Q. H. Wang, S. F. Wu

“…The water content in MICP-treated specimens was significantly reduced by the MICP reactions and in one case decreased from 40% to 30.73%. (3) The strength enhancement of microbially solidified soft clay is the result of two processes: urea hydration catalyzed by enzymes consumes water in the clay and the bacterially precipitated calcite forms in the sediment’s pores. (4) The micro-organism-produced calcite in the soft clay increases the calcite abundance from 0% to as much as 3.5%. (5) The MICP-treated strength of soft clay varies with the concentration of the nutrients provided. …”
