TL;DR: In this article, the authors determined pore fluid rare earth element (REE) concentrations in near-surface sediments retrieved from the continental margin off Oregon and California (USA) and used their measurements to estimate the diffusive flux of Nd out of ocean sediments.

TL;DR: This work believes it has the first evidence for leptin expression in an ectotherm, based upon electrophoretic mobility, immunoreactivity, response to fasting, and correlation with adiposity, in fishes.
Abstract: Tissues from bony fish were screened with anti-mouse leptin antibodies to detect the presence of the fat-regulating hormone in fishes. Low molecular-weight (16 kDa) immunoreactive bands were detected in blood, brain, heart and liver of green sunfish (Lepomis cyanellus), bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus), largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides), white crappie (Pomonix annularis), channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). To further verify that we had identified leptin, the response of fish "leptin" was measured in fed and fasted green sunfish. Fed sunfish had approximately threefold higher concentration of leptin in blood than did fasted sunfish (fed vs. fasted; 0.599 +/- 0.03 microg/microl vs. 0.196 +/- 0.04 microg/microl; P > F = 0.0001), which is consistent with mammalian models of leptin function. Brain leptin concentration is also positively correlated with percent body fat in white crappie and bluegill. Based upon electrophoretic mobility, immunoreactivity, response to fasting, and correlation with adiposity, we believe we have the first evidence for leptin expression in an ectotherm.

TL;DR: In this article, the force required to propagate a 180° bend in an elastic-plastic strip has been calculated from elementary bending theory and measured forces for Mylar strips of various thicknesses, bent to various degrees, were in good agreement with these calculated values.
Abstract: The force required to propagate a 180° bend in an elastic-plastic strip has been calculated from elementary bending theory Measured forces for Mylar strips of various thicknesses, bent to various degrees, were in good agreement with these calculated values The corresponding additional stripping force in a peeling experiment will depend upon the thickness of the elastic-plastic adherend, becoming zero both for infinitesimally thin adherends and for those exceeding a critical thickness tc and passing through a maximum value at intermediate thicknesses Published data are in good agreement with these conclusions For a strongly adhering strip, higher peel strengths are found for a peel angle of 180°, compared to 90°, and the effect is greater than can be accounted for solely by plastic yielding of the adherend It is attributed in part to greater energy dissipation within the adhesive layer

TL;DR: This is the first work to develop an amino acid-based zwitterionic polymer as an antifouling material, demonstrating that pSerMA is a promising alternative to the traditional ethylene glycol-based antifOUling materials.
