HARNESSING NATURAL RECOVERY PROCESSES TO IMPROVE RESTORATION OUTCOMES: AN EXPERIMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF SPONGE-MEDIATED CORAL REEF RESTORATION.

Harnessing natural recovery processes to improve restoration outcomes: an experimental assessment of sponge-mediated coral reef restoration.

BACKGROUND: Restoration is increasingly implemented to reestablish habitat structure and function following physical anthropogenic disturbance, but scientific knowledge of effectiveness of methods lags behind demand for guidelines.On coral reefs, recovery is largely dependent on coral reestablishment, and substratum stability is critical to the sur

Aquaporin-7: A Dynamic Aquaglyceroporin With Greater Water and Glycerol Permeability Than Its Bacterial Homolog GlpF

Xenopus oocytes expressing human aquaporin-7 (AQP7) exhibit greater osmotic water permeability and 3H-glycerol uptake vs.those expressing the bacterial glycerol facilitator GlpF.AQP7-expressing oocytes exposed to increasing extracellular [glycerol] under isosmolal conditions exhibit increasing swelling rates, whereas GlpF-expressing oocytes do not

Shield Tunneling Parameter Matching Model and UI Interface

In order to improve the accuracy of shield tunneling parameter matching under the limited data, the matching Basketball model based on support vector machine (SVM) and exponential adjustment inertia weight immune particle swarm optimization (EAIW-IPSO) is proposed.The nonlinear relationship model between the tunneling parameters and the ground sett

Comparison of root dentinal crack formation after coronal pre-flaring using different rotary instruments: An In vitro Study

Background and Objectives: The aim of this study was to see the incidence of cracks in root dentin after coronal flaring using various rotary instruments such as Gates Glidden (GG) drills, ProTaper Universal SX, OneFlare, and HyFlex EDM.Materials and Methods: Seventy freshly extracted premolar teeth with single canal were collected.All the teeth we
