The principle of the 3Rs between aspiration and reality

The Principle of the 3Rs is widely recognised as the methodological and ethical backbone of contemporary animal research. Different authors also stress the reciprocal links among the 3Rs, and how these often complement and reinforce each ot...

A review on the recent mechanisms investigation of PFAS electrochemical oxidation degradation: mechanisms, DFT calculation, and pathways

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have drawn public concern recently due to their toxic properties and persistence in the environment, making it urgent to eliminate PFAS from contaminated water. Electrochemical oxidation (EO) has s...

Treatment and Disposal Methods of Concentrate Stream of Seawater Reverse Osmosis- A Review

The exponentially multiplying population of the world demands increasing freshwater resources. Thelimited resources comprising less than 3% of the earth’s water resources are getting polluted at an alarming rate. To deal with this situation...

Methane and carbon dioxide fluxes over a lake: comparison between eddy covariance, floating chambers and boundary layer method

Freshwaters bring a notable contribution to the global carbon budget by emitting both carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) to the atmosphere. Global estimates of freshwater emissions traditionally use a wind-speed-based gas transfer ve...

Microplastic as a vector of heavy metals and chemicals in aquatic ecosystems

Microplastics (MPs) have become a symbol of modern life and their fate in the environment is an issue of great concern. MPs have attracted attention for their widespread distribution, especially in the aquatic ecosystems. MPs can act as a v...

Agricultural Use of Lands Affected by Deep-Seated Landslides in the Transylvanian Basin and Its Consequences on Soil Physicochemical Properties

Land leveling deep-seated landslides for agricultural use alters soil profile integrity and soil functionality. In the mid-20th century, such interventions in the Transylvanian Basin (Romania) involved grading and converting landslide bodie...

Characterization of antibiofouling behaviors of PVDF membrane modified by quaternary ammonium compound – combined use of QCM-D, FCM, and CLSM

In this study, we systematically evaluated the antibiofouling behavior of quaternary ammonium compound (QAC) blended polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) combined with...

Exploring the Intestinal Microbiota and Metabolome Profiles Associated With Feed Efficiency in Pacific Abalone (Haliotis discus hannai)

Feed efficiency (FE) is critical to the economic and environmental benefits of aquaculture. Both the intestines and intestinal microbiota play a key role in energy acquisition and influence FE. In the current research, intestinal microbiota...
