AbstractThis study examined the protective effects of Spirulina platensis (SP) on African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) against ultraviolet radiation-A (UV-A) induced oxidative stress, immunotoxicity, and histological damage. Recognized for its nutritional value and environmental benefits, SP was evaluated as a potential bioremediation agent.

AbstractEcosystems are constantly exposed to new strains of a given species. Which strain will be able to invade a resident multi-species community depends on the strain's relative fitness. Here we develop an approach to quantify fitness differences between two co-invading strains based on the replicator equation.

We investigate the frictional force arising from quantum fluctuations when two dissipative metallic plates are set in a shear motion. While early studies showed that the electromagnetic fields in the quantum friction setup reach nonequilibrium steady states, yielding a time-independent force, other works have demonstrated the failure to attain steady states, leading to instability and time-varying friction under sufficiently low-loss conditions.

Placental microphysiological systems: new advances on promising platforms that mimic the microenvironment of the human placenta
One of the most complex human physiological processes to study is pregnancy. Standard animal models, as well as two-dimensional models, lack the complexity and biological relevance required to accurately study such a physiological process.

Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) are a critical tool in measuring the accelerating expansion of the universe. Recent efforts to improve these standard candles have focused on incorporating the effects of dust on distance measurements with SNe Ia. In this paper, we use the state-of-the-art Dark Energy Survey 5 year sample to evaluate two different families of dust models: empirical extinction models derived from SNe Ia data, and physical attenuation models from the spectra of galaxies.

Understanding the stability of strongly correlated phases of matter when coupled to environmental degrees of freedom is crucial for identifying the conditions under which these states may be observed. Here, we focus on the paradigmatic one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model, and study the stability of the Luttinger-liquid and Mott insulating phases in the presence of local particle exchange with site-independent baths of noninteracting bosons.

Bioinspired copper-catalysed nitrous oxide reduction with simultaneous N–H or O–H bond oxidation†
Herein, we report on a bioinspired reduction of nitrous oxide in the presence of hydrogen-donating molecules, which are simultaneously oxidised.
