Electrocatalytic nitrate reduction to ammonia (NO3RR) is very attractive for nitrate removal and ammonia production in industrial processes. However, the nitrate reduction reaction is characterized by intense hydrogen competition at strong reduction potentials, which greatly limits the Faraday efficiency at strong reduction potentials. Herein, we reported ...

Intergroup aggression often results in the production of public goods, such as a safe and stable social environment and a home range containing the resources required to survive and reproduce. We investigate temporal variation in intergroup aggression in a growing population of colobus monkeys (C ...

Understanding recruitment, the process by which individuals are added to a population or to a fishery, is critical for understanding population dynamics and facilitating sustainable fisheries management. Important variation in recruitment dynamics is observed among populations, wherein some populations exhibit asymptotic productivity and others exhibit ov ...

Introduction: Poor oral health has been suggested as a risk factor for cognitive decline. Yet, biologically plausible mechanisms explaining this relationship remain unknown. Objectives: We aimed (1) to identify oral and cognitive health clustering patterns among middle-aged to elderly Canadians ...

Background: Adequate nutrition is important for bone health, especially for bone mineral accretion. Objectives: The primary objective tested whether increasing dairy intake using the motivational interviewing technique (MInt) improves lumbar spine (LS) bone mineral density (BMD) after 2 y in postpubertal adolescents with habitual dairy intake of Methods ...

Neophobic predator avoidance, where prey actively avoid novel stimuli, is thought to allow prey to cope with the inability to predict predation risk (i.e. uncertainty) while reducing the costs associated with learning. Recent studies suggest that neophobia is elicited as a response to unpredictable and elevated mean predation risk, and is linked to experi ...

The engineering practices for applying the microbial precipitation of carbonates require a design of the blending biocement solution (BCS). The BCS is usually blended with concentrated strains NO-A10, reaction media, such as urea and CaCl2, and a solvent, i.e., water or seawater. To characterize the BCS, the unknown microbial characteristics, such as the ...

Density functional theory-based first-principles investigation is performed on pristine and mono vacancy induced GaAs nanoribbons to detect the presence of three volatile organic compounds (VOCs), aniline, isoprene and o-toluidine, which will aid in sensing lung cancer. The study has shown that pristine nanoribbon senses all three analytes. For the pristi ...

The present work demonstrates the efficient design of ultrasmall porous carbon nanospheres with tailored sizes (5-40 nm in diameter) and optimized intrasphere textural properties for high-rate high-energy supercapacitor application. The carbon nanospheres are synthesized via a miniemulsion polymerization technique followed by KOH activation. It is shown t ...

Road networks and human density are major factors contributing to habitat fragmentation and loss, isolation of wildlife populations, and reduced genetic diversity. Terrestrial mammals are particularly sensitive to road networks and encroachment by human populations. However, there are limited assessments of the impacts of road networks and human density o ...
