Socioeconomic (R2 = 0.44–0.66) and development (R2 = 27–0.44) factors have weak to moderate effects on the ESs. Furthermore, the joint effects of the driving factors are much higher than their individual effects. Among the six spatial regression models, Geographical Weighted Regression (GWR) performs the most accurately and explains the maximum model variances. The proposed hybrid valuation method aggregates biophysical and economic estimates of ESs and addresses methodological biases existing in the valuation process. The presented framework can be generalized and applied to other ecosystems at different scales.

Among the nine ESs evaluated, climate regulation, gas regulation, and disturbance regulation were the most important regulating services of the SBR. The combined effects of climate change and land-use dynamics on ESs are much stringent in a vulnerable region like the SBR. Most of the regulating services were closely associated with the fluctuation of land use land cover input. Thus, land management policies and land reform strategies that will encourage the conversion of productive land, especially the highly productive mangrove forest, for the development or any other financial benefits, would disturb the ideal human-nature balance of this ecosystem. The outcomes of this study also provide an important reference to the land administrators, researchers, and decision-makers to comprehend the expected social-ecological juxtaposition in a protected natural reserve region like the Sundarbans.]]> Wed 07 Feb 2024 16:41:15 AEDT ]]> Policies and innovations to battle Covid-19 – a case study of South Korea https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:46506 Wed 07 Feb 2024 15:37:20 AEDT ]]> Effects of microorganism-mediated inoculants on humification processes and phosphorus dynamics during the aerobic composting of swine manure https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:46636 4PO4⋅6H2O crystals and Poly-P as the IP species, and Mono-P as the OP species in compost generated from the dissolution or inter-transformation among P pools.

Professional players had smaller whole brain (p = .003), bilateral hippocampi (ps = .03), and left amygdala volumes (p = .01) compared to healthy controls. Within the players group, there were significant associations between greater alcohol use and smaller bilateral hippocampi and left amygdala volumes. There were no associations between structural volumes and history of concussions or memory performance. Conclusions: The literature examining cortical thickness in athletes with a history of multiple concussions is mixed. We did not observe differences in cortical thickness in professional rugby league players compared to controls. However, smaller subcortical volumes were found in players that were, in part, associated with greater alcohol consumption.]]> Tue 20 Sep 2022 10:48:22 AEST ]]> Biodegradation of high-molecular weight PAHs by Rhodococcus wratislaviensis strain 9: overexpression of amidohydrolase induced by pyrene and BaP https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:47398 Tue 17 Jan 2023 11:21:30 AEDT ]]> Reclaiming water from a direct air capture plant using vacuum membrane distillation – A bench-scale study https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:52767 Tue 14 Nov 2023 15:12:48 AEDT ]]> Combined use of sticky traps and biopesticides as a sustainable tool to manage Aleurocanthus rugosa (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) infesting betel vine https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51616 Tue 12 Sep 2023 13:49:36 AEST ]]> Characterization of allelopathic compounds from the harmful dinoflagellate, <i>Cochlodinium geminatum</i> https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:42864 Cochlodinium geminatum were first recorded as new, harmful algal bloom (HAB)-forming dinoflagellate, in the Pearl River Estuary, China. Previous studies indicated that allelopathy (the release of chemical compounds) is an important competitive strategy for C. geminatum in inhibiting the growth of phytoplankton competitors, however, little is known about the allelochemicals produced by this species. In this study, allelopathic compounds were characterized using a series of chromatographic techniques. Methanol extracts from cultures showed significant inhibitory effects towards the co-occurring phytoplankton, Akashiwo sanguinea, and potent hemolytic activity against rabbit erythrocytes. Solid phase extraction (SPE) fractions from a reverse phase SPE column, exhibited inhibitory and synergistic effects on A. sanguinea growth, of which fractions eluted in 80% and 100% methanol showed the strongest allelopathic activity. These fractions were further purified using reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and six fractions were collected. Three fractions displayed strong inhibitory effects towards A. sanguinea, with 14%-25% inhibitory rates, but a higher 35% inhibitory rate was observed when fractions were combined, suggesting allelochemicals had synergistic allelopathic effects. Allelopathic activity also exhibited time dependent reduction when stored at -20℃. Furthermore, trypsin digestion and dialysis assays indicated C. geminatum produced multiple allelopathic compounds. Our study demonstrated that species of C. geminatum produced and released multiple allelopathic compounds of low polarity and sufficient hydrophilicity, which elicit important competitive advantages by inhibiting co-occurring phytoplankton, and promoting population growth.]]> Tue 06 Sep 2022 09:52:23 AEST ]]> Characterization of bentonite modified with humic acid for the removal of Cu (II) and 2,4-dichlorophenol from aqueous solution https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:42866 Tue 06 Sep 2022 09:17:31 AEST ]]> Towards adverse outcome pathways for metals in saltmarsh ecosystems - A review https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:43844 Tue 04 Oct 2022 11:53:44 AEDT ]]> Time-dependent wave propagation on a variable Winkler foundation with compression https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:43827 Tue 04 Oct 2022 11:11:24 AEDT ]]> Thermodynamic and kinetic examination of the glassy carbon electrode in neutral aqueous electrolytes https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:43824 Tue 04 Oct 2022 11:04:53 AEDT ]]> Collecting microplastics in gardens: case study (ii) from ropes https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:45549 Tue 01 Nov 2022 10:56:08 AEDT ]]> On the coexistence of positive and negative externalities in the inter-powertrain relationships https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:38052 Thu 29 Jul 2021 10:06:03 AEST ]]> Integrating experience-based knowledge representation and machine learning for efficient virtual engineering object performance https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:45340 Thu 27 Oct 2022 10:23:04 AEDT ]]> 2020 International consensus on first aid science with treatment recommendations https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:46448 Thu 24 Nov 2022 14:26:36 AEDT ]]> Pyroelectric catalysis https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:46491 Thu 24 Nov 2022 12:01:02 AEDT ]]> Calibration and verification of DEM parameters for dynamic particle flow conditions using a backpropagation neural network https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:38733 Thu 20 Jan 2022 14:25:01 AEDT ]]> Lived experiences of environmental change: solastalgia, power and place https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:42077 solastagia has been developed by environmental philosopher Albrecht to understand the psychological trauma, also referred to as place-based distress, experienced because of environmental change. In this article, we explore ways to further this concept. The article draws on ethnographic fieldwork in a village in the mid-western region of New South Wales (NSW), Australia, which is surrounded by three large open-cut coal mines. Over the past decade, the mines, in particular the Peabody-owned Wilpinjong mine closest to the village, have had a significant impact on biophysical, social and temporal landscapes in the area. We argue that whilst solastalgia may help explore the relationship between the environmental and human distress triggered in these circumstances, the sense of displacement and loss that emerge are entangled with questions of power and dispossession beyond the biophysical realm. Underpinned by a phenomenological framework of analysis, we contend that place-based distress should be understood as an ontological trauma, as the fabrics of place, belonging and the social relations embedded within disrupt the ongoing sense of being associated with home. These include the means to not only link to the past, but also to imagine the future.]]> Thu 18 Aug 2022 11:03:33 AEST ]]> Does geopolitical risk uncertainty strengthen or depress cash holdings of oil enterprises?

It was found that despite triggering antioxidant enzyme activity, Cd stress heightened lipid peroxidation levels. Exogenous P input partially mitigated the lipid peroxidation impact and decreased the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and peroxidase (POD) antioxidant enzymes, revealing reduced ROS-scavenging activity. Importantly, notable relationships were determined between the amount of Cd uptake in the root and the amount of non-protein thiols (R2 = 0.914), glutathione (R2 = 0.805) and phytochelatins (R2 = 0.904) in proportion to the amount of exogenous P applied. The levels of amino acids proline and cysteine were also enhanced by exogenous P input showing their influence in alleviating Cd stress. Overall, it is reported that Cd detoxification in ryegrass plants can be stimulated by exogenous P input, which facilitates chelation-mediated Cd detoxification processes.]]> Thu 01 Dec 2022 10:07:29 AEDT ]]> Comparison of laser ablation and sputter desorption of clusters from Au₇Cu₅Al₄ https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:19258 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:06:33 AEDT ]]> Dehydrohalogenation of ethyl halides https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:19259 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:06:33 AEDT ]]> Diagnosing acute pancreatitis in children: what is the diagnostic yield and concordance for serum pancreatic enzymes and imaging within 96 h of presentation? https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:20760 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:00:26 AEDT ]]> Application of the distinct element method and the extended finite element method in modelling cracks and coalescence in brittle materials https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:20741 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:00:23 AEDT ]]> Developing a clinical care pathway for obese pregnant women: a quality improvement project https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:20391 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:58:08 AEDT ]]> Common variants of xeroderma pigmentosum genes and prostate cancer risk https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:19105 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:55:58 AEDT ]]> Decisional DNA for modeling and reuse of experiential clinical assessments in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:19116 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:55:52 AEDT ]]> Discharge mechanism of the heat treated electrolytic manganese dioxide cathode in a primary Li/MnO₂ battery: an in-situ and ex-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction study https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:20698 xMnO₂).

A general negative correlation between them suggests the reworking of old supracrustal materials (average crustal residence age of ca. 2.0Ga) by juvenile mantle-derived magmas. The progression of increasing εHf(t) and decreasing δ¹⁸O values of zircons from the Triassic to the Cretaceous suggests progressive crustal growth during the Mesozoic. The results are consistent with hybridization at an active continental margin. We briefly review tectonic models for the Indosinian orogeny and suggest that the petrologic evidence indicates that Mesozoic magmatism was part of the circum-Pacific accretionary orogens that formed along the continental margin of East Asia no later than ca. 250Ma and continued at least to the late Cretaceous.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:40:16 AEDT ]]> Metasedimentary melting in the formation of charnockite: petrological and zircon U-Pb-Hf-O isotope evidence from the Darongshan S-type granitic complex in southern China https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:26259 zircon=ca. 11‰; εHf(t)zircon=ca. -10; Δlog FMQ≤0; Mn in apatite oxybarometer) with rare material input from the mantle. The variation in δ¹⁸O (7.8‰-12.9‰) is more likely a result of hybridization, whereas that in εHf(t) (-31.9 to -1.8) is a result of both hybridization and disequilibrium melting. The variation in mineralogy and geochemistry may be interpreted as a result of entrainment of peritectic garnets from biotite-dehydration melting. Nevertheless, heat input from mantle through basaltic intrusion/underplating is considered to play a major role in high-temperature (>850°C) melting at mid-crustal levels (i.e. the cordierite stable field) for generation of the granitic complex. We interpret that the granites were intruded in a back-arc setting and basaltic magmatism was directly associated with slab roll-back and tearing during the latest Permian and early Triassic times.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:40:15 AEDT ]]> Experiments on the detachment of particles from bubbles in a turbulent vortex https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:26100 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:39:51 AEDT ]]> Reliability based vulnerability modelling of metal-clad industrial buildings to extreme wind loading for cyclonic regions https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:26352 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:35:53 AEDT ]]> Phytochemicals and antioxidant capacity of Xao tam phan (Paramignya trimera) root as affected by various solvents and extraction methods https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:23861 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:12:11 AEDT ]]> Multidimensional approaches of biogas production and up-gradation: Opportunities and challenges https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53313 Mon 29 Jan 2024 18:53:31 AEDT ]]> Intimately-coordinated carbon nitride-metal sulfide with high p-d conjugation for efficient battery performance https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:48452 Mon 29 Jan 2024 18:51:18 AEDT ]]> Coupling ferroelectric polarization and anisotropic charge migration for enhanced CO₂ photoreduction https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:46850 2 photoreduction into solar fuels is promising for generating renewable energy. Herein, SrBi2Nb2O9 nanosheets are prepared as high-performance photocatalysts for CO2 reduction, highlighting superiority of ferroelectric polarization and anisotropic charge migration. Ferroelectric polarization within SrBi2Nb2O9 nanosheets provides an in-built electric field, which greatly facilitates the bulk charge separation. Also, the photogenerated electrons and holes migrate separately to the NbO6 octahedral layers and within the ab-plane in the Bi2O2 layers, achieving efficient anisotropic charge migration. Without co-catalyst or sacrificial agent, SrBi2Nb2O9 nanosheets show outstanding CO2 reduction activity in producing CH4. The ferroelectric polarization is further enhanced by electric poling and annealing post-treatments. The electrically poled SrBi2Nb2O9 shows a high CH4 evolution rate of 25.91 μmol g−1 h−1 with an AQE of 1.96 % at 365 nm, exceeding most of state-of-the-art photocatalysts reported to date. This work paves an avenue for development of highly efficient photocatalysts and beyond by tuning the ferroelectricity and electronic structure.]]> Mon 29 Jan 2024 18:48:21 AEDT ]]> Hierarchical carbon structures from soft drink for multi-functional energy applications of Li-ion battery, Na-ion battery and CO<inf>2</inf> capture https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:50887 Mon 29 Jan 2024 18:27:36 AEDT ]]> Removal of Congo red dye from aqueous environment by zinc terephthalate metal organic framework decorated on silver nanoparticles-loaded biochar: Mechanistic insights of adsorption https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:52777 Mon 29 Jan 2024 18:24:35 AEDT ]]> Emerging trends in clinical implications of bio-conjugated silver nanoparticles in drug delivery https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:46614 Mon 28 Nov 2022 10:43:30 AEDT ]]> Elucidation of the role of cohesion in the macroscopic behaviour of coarse particulate systems using DEM https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:46618 Mon 28 Nov 2022 10:36:45 AEDT ]]> Parent-child feeding practices in a developing country: findings from the Family Diet Study https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:38756 Mon 24 Jan 2022 11:52:08 AEDT ]]> Riverine CO₂ supersaturation and outgassing in a subtropical monsoonal mountainous area (Three Gorges Reservoir Region) of China https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:38755 pCO₂), CO₂ degassing and their potential controls. The pCO₂ levels ranged from 50 to 6019 µatm with averages of 1573 (SD. ±1060) in dry Autumn and 1276 (SD. ±1166) µatm in wet Summer seasons. 94% of samples were supersaturated with CO₂ with respect to the atmospheric equilibrium (410 µatm). Monsoonal precipitation controlled pCO₂ seasonality, with both the maximal and minimal levels occurring in the wet season, and showing the overall effects of dilution. Riverine pCO2 could be predicted better in the dry season using pH, DO% and DTP, whereas pH and DOC were better predictors in the wet season. We conclude that in-situ respiration of allochthonous organic carbon, rather than photosynthesis, resulted in negative relationships between pCO₂ and DO and pH, and thus CO₂ supersaturation. Photosynthetic primary production was effectively limited by rapid flow velocity and short residence time. The estimated water-to-air CO₂ emission rate in the TGR rivers was 350 ± 319 in the Autumn and lower, yet more variable at 326 ± 439 mmol/m2/d in Summer. Our calculated CO₂ areal fluxes were in the upper-level magnitude of published data, demonstrating the importance of mountainous rivers and streams as a global greenhouse gas source, and urgency for more detailed studies on CO₂ degassing, to address a global data gap for these environments.]]> Mon 24 Jan 2022 11:24:02 AEDT ]]> Petroleum hydrocarbons (PH) in groundwater aquifers: an overview of environmental fate, toxicity, microbial degradation and risk-based remediation approaches https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:38754 Mon 24 Jan 2022 11:17:08 AEDT ]]> CO₂ sequestration by direct mineralisation using fly ash from Chinese Shenfu coal https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:43059 Mon 12 Sep 2022 15:12:49 AEST ]]> Displacements and livelihood resilience in Ghana's mining sector: The moderating role of coping behaviour https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:52350 Mon 09 Oct 2023 15:05:20 AEDT ]]> Challenges against CO₂ abatement strategies in cement industry: a review https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:42800 Mon 05 Sep 2022 09:11:35 AEST ]]> Mitigation of petroleum-hydrocarbon-contaminated hazardous soils using organic amendments: a review https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:46864 Mon 05 Dec 2022 08:29:59 AEDT ]]> Does giving birth in a "birth environment room" versus a standard birth room lower augmentation of labor? - Results from a randomized controlled trial https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:46859 Mon 05 Dec 2022 08:19:29 AEDT ]]> Evaluation of the effect of silica nanoparticles, temperature and pressure on the performance of PSF/PEG/SiO₂ mixed matrix membranes: a molecular dynamics simulation (MD) and design of experiments (DOE) study https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:46536 2, CH4 and N2 gases in a PSF-PEG-silica mixed matrix membrane. In the MD simulations, the temperature and silica content loading varied from 25–45 °C and 0–20 wt%, respectively. In the DOE study, the range for the temperature and silica content loading variation was kept the same as considered in the MD simulations. The experimental pressure in the DOE was 0–10 bar. The experimental and simulation results were in good agreement and showed that the three most significant factors on the membrane performance from highest to lowest were silica particle loading, temperature and pressure, respectively.]]> Fri 25 Nov 2022 10:37:22 AEDT ]]> Dataset on the global patent networks within and between vehicle powertrain technologies — cases of ICEV, HEV, and BEV https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:38010 Fri 23 Jul 2021 15:12:57 AEST ]]> Starch-based films: major factors affecting their properties https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:35108 Fri 21 Jun 2019 10:04:57 AEST ]]> Late Quaternary mangrove biogeography and paleoenvironments in the reef area of the South China Sea based on analysis of palynomorph assemblages https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:52656 Fri 20 Oct 2023 09:02:09 AEDT ]]> Combining analytical tools to inform practice in school-based professional experience https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:49486 Fri 19 May 2023 09:34:55 AEST ]]> Numerical prediction of particle slip velocity in turbulence by CFD-DEM simulation https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53220 Fri 17 Nov 2023 12:00:34 AEDT ]]> Characterization and evaluation of brittleness of deep bedded sandstone from the perspective of the whole life-cycle evolution process https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51544 Fri 08 Sep 2023 14:59:04 AEST ]]> Optimising the job-shop scheduling problem using a multi-objective Jaya algorithm https://novaprd-lb.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:41500 Fri 05 Aug 2022 10:53:29 AEST ]]> The isopropylation of naphthalene over a beta zeolite with BEA topoplogy.
