TL;DR: A comprehensive review of wetland structures, classic and novel nitrogen and organics removal mechanisms along with the key environmental parameters and operational conditions that enhance removal in subsurface flow wetland systems shows the necessity of a profound knowledge on the complicated inter-relationship between nitrogen and Organics removal routes, governing environmental and operational parameters, and wetland matrix for improving the treatment performances of subsurfaced flow wetlands.

TL;DR: If acidification continues unabated, the impairment of sensory ability will reduce population sustainability of many marine species, with potentially profound consequences for marine diversity.
Abstract: The persistence of most coastal marine species depends on larvae
finding suitable adult habitat at the end of an offshore dispersive
stage that can last weeks or months. We tested the effects that
ocean acidification from elevated levels of atmospheric carbon
dioxide (CO2) could have on the ability of larvae to detect olfactory
cues from adult habitats. Larval clownfish reared in control sea-
water (pH 8.15) discriminated between a range of cues that could
help them locate reef habitat and suitable settlement sites. This
discriminatory ability was disrupted when larvae were reared in
conditions simulating CO2-induced ocean acidification. Larvae be-
came strongly attracted to olfactory stimuli they normally avoided
when reared at levels of ocean pH that could occur ca. 2100 (pH 7.8)
and they no longer responded to any olfactory cues when reared
at pH levels (pH 7.6) that might be attained later next century on
a business-as-usual carbon-dioxide emissions trajectory. If acidifi-
cation continues unabated, the impairment of sensory ability will
reduce population sustainability of many marine species, with
potentially profound consequences for marine diversity

TL;DR: A standard model for application in future IoT healthcare systems is proposed, and the state-of-the-art research relating to each area of the model is presented, evaluating their strengths, weaknesses, and overall suitability for a wearable IoT healthcare system.
Abstract: Internet of Things (IoT) technology has attracted much attention in recent years for its potential to alleviate the strain on healthcare systems caused by an aging population and a rise in chronic illness. Standardization is a key issue limiting progress in this area, and thus this paper proposes a standard model for application in future IoT healthcare systems. This survey paper then presents the state-of-the-art research relating to each area of the model, evaluating their strengths, weaknesses, and overall suitability for a wearable IoT healthcare system. Challenges that healthcare IoT faces including security, privacy, wearability, and low-power operation are presented, and recommendations are made for future research directions.

TL;DR: It is shown that the nanoprotrusions on the surfaces of both black silicon and D. bipunctata wings form hierarchical structures through the formation of clusters of adjacent nanoproTrusions, which generate a mechanical bactericidal effect, independent of chemical composition.
Abstract: Black silicon is a synthetic nanomaterial that contains high aspect ratio nanoprotrusions on its surface, produced through a simple reactive-ion etching technique for use in photovoltaic applications Surfaces with high aspect-ratio nanofeatures are also common in the natural world, for example, the wings of the dragonfly Diplacodes bipunctata Here we show that the nanoprotrusions on the surfaces of both black silicon and D bipunctata wings form hierarchical structures through the formation of clusters of adjacent nanoprotrusions These structures generate a mechanical bactericidal effect, independent of chemical composition Both surfaces are highly bactericidal against all tested Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, and endospores, and exhibit estimated average killing rates of up to ∼450,000 cells min -1 cm -2 This represents the first reported physical bactericidal activity of black silicon or indeed for any hydrophilic surface This biomimetic analogue represents an excellent prospect for the development of a new generation of mechano-responsive, antibacterial nanomaterials
