Nestled in the heart of Marin County, California, Muir Woods stands as a testament to the ages. Known for its towering redwoods, it's a site of natural %

Nitrification is an important link for environmental nitrogen cycling, the appearance of comammox updates our traditional cognition about nitrification. Yet comammox has been poorly studied in marine sediments. This study explored the differences in abundance, diversity, community structure of comammox cladeA amoA in the sediments from different offshore areas of China (the Bohai Sea (BS), the Yellow Sea (YS), and the East China Sea (ECS)) and revealed the main driving factors. The abundance of ...

Community structure of fish in relation to environmental variation was investigated in Nanji Islands National Nature Reserve (NINNR). In order to test this relationship, we delineated 25 survey stations with bottom trawling and measured environmental variables. Samples were taken from November 2013 (autumn), February 2014 (winter), May 2014 (spring) and September 2014 (summer). We found a very strong correlation in space and time between temperature and salinity; abundance and biomass in winter;...

Why did some savings and loans eagerly embraced the market while in others remained community-based? Researchers add communities and local associations to econo

In the One Health concept, the use of beneficial bacteria able to form positive biofilms preventing the settlement of undesirable bacteria is a promising solution to limit the use of antimicrobials in farms. However, there is a lack of field studies reporting the onset of these beneficial bacteria after application and the effects on autochthonous surface microbiota. In this study, the inner surfaces of commercial broiler chicken houses were treated or not after cleaning and disinfection procedu...

Bauchi State Government has formally launched a new innovative way of efficiency in service delivery known as the Community Health Influencer

The unique ecosystems and biodiversity associated with mid-ocean ridge (MOR) hydrothermal vent systems contrast sharply with surrounding deep-sea habitats, however both may be increasingly threatened by anthropogenic activity (e.g., mining activities at massive sulphide deposits). Climate change can alter the deep-sea through increased bottom temperatures, loss of oxygen, and modifications to deep water circulation. Despite the potential of these profound impacts, the mechanisms enabling these s...

Prokaryotes constitute the majority of sedimentary biomass, where they cycle organic carbon and regulate organic matter transformation. The microbes inhabiting sediment are diverse, and the factors controlling microbial community composition are not fully understood. Here, we characterized the prokaryotic community using 16S rRNA gene sequencing in 24 stratigraphic layers within a 89 cm (dated to ~1900 years old) sediment core from an anchialine sinkhole in the Bahamas with a stratified water co...

This study develops a methodology to determine the optimal allocation position to deploy the bikes in a competitive dockless bike sharing market. The community structure approach in complex network theory is utilized to offer the bike allocation strategies to the market leader in two specific market regimes, with a potential competitor, and without a potential competitor. Two different heuristics are proposed to handle the two scenarios respectively due to different design objectives, wherein th...

Those are the words of Mill Springs Academy’s founder, Tweetie L. Moore, and the words that Mill Springs administration, faculty, and staff continue to live by today. Founded in 1981, Mill Springs provides a values-based college preparatory program for students with ADHD and learning differences. Mill Springs’ school-wide Community Structure encourages students to participate in their own education by teaching self-advocacy, social problem-solving skills, and how to forge their own pa...
