Persisting knowledge gaps relating to the ecological context and potential environmental impacts of marine renewable energy (MRE) devices continue add substantial costs uncertainty MRE projects globally. Increasingly sophisticated technological approaches monitoring can have fundamental non-trivial shortcomings for impact assessment (EIA), whilst practical financial deployments prevent their ap...

Herein, the optical properties of thiophene-functionalized quadrupolar carbo-benzenes and a benzenic parent, generic structure Th–CC–[core]–CC–Th, Th = R2C4HS, are comparatively investigated. Beyond previously unknown dioctylthienylethynylbenzene (core p-C6H4, R nOct), two bis-dialkylthienylethynyl-carbo-benzenes C18Ph4, nOct, nBu) envisaged for unique "carbo-aromatic" character C18 macrocycle....

Introduction: MRI is sensitive to changes in tissue magnetic susceptibility, which can be utilised in the investigation of tumour microvasculature [1]. R2* decreases with hyperoxia due to the difference in susceptibility between deoxyand oxyhaemoglobin (deoxyhaemoglobin is paramagnetic, oxyhaemoglobin is diamagnetic). Conversely, ultrasmall paramagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) particle contrast agen...

Deep-sea fishes provide a unique opportunity to study the physiology and evolutionary adaptation to extreme environments. We carried out a high throughput sequencing analysis on a 454 GS-FLX titanium plate using unnormalized cDNA libraries from six tissues of A. carbo. Assemblage and annotations were performed by Newbler and InterPro/Pfam analyses, respectively. The assembly of 544,491 high qua...

Graphdiyne and derivatives with delocalized π-electron systems are of particular interest owing to their structural, electronic, and transport properties, which are important for potential applications in next-generation electronics. Inspired by recently obtained extended graphdiyne nanowires, explorations of the modulation of the band gap and carrier mobility of this new species are still need...

The synthesis, structure, and absorption spectra of highly π-frustrated carbo-benzenes with indolic enamine substituents more or less directly conjugated to the C18 macro-aromatic core are described, and their peculiar reactivity is analyzed.

In the Baltic Sea, large predatory fish northern pike (Esox lucius L.) is important for both recreational fisheries and ecosystem functioning. As existing fishery-independent surveys do not adequately monitor populations, a general lack of knowledge on population status trends poses challenges management. Here we use angling data as an alternative method to describe development along Swedish Se...
