ABSTRACT The Andvord fjord in the West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) is known for its productivity and abundant megafauna.Nevertheless, seasonal patterns of the molecular diversity and abundance of protistan community members underpinning WAP productivity remain poorly resolved.We performed spring and fall expeditions pursuing protistan diversity, abun
Increasing concern about the impacts of climate change on ecosystems is prompting ecologists and ecosystem managers to seek reliable projections of physical drivers of change.The use of global climate models in ecology is growing, although drawing ecologically meaningful conclusions can be problematic.The expertise required to access and interpret
Under the framework of Industry 4.0, machines and machine tools have evolved to smart and connected things, comprising the Internet of Things (IoT) and leading to the Mass Personalization (MP) paradigm, which enables the production of uniquely made products at scale.MP, fueled by individualization trends and enabled by increasing digitalization, ha
Objective.Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX) is an irrigant with a reasonable antibacterial ability and rather high permeability yet often fails to remove the smear layer.To solve this problem, CHX is upgraded through its complexion with chitosan (CS).Methods.Molar roots are split longitudinally by a rotary diamond saw.Chlorhexidine-chitosan (CHX-CS) is
