Increasing globalization and human mobility have facilitated the intentional and unintentional introduction of species beyond their natural geographic ranges. Such alien species are considered to be a main driver of global biodiversity loss with substantial environmental and economic impacts on invaded communities. While the potential economic cost for almost 90% of the alien species found in E...

This study shows the effects of nuclear waste glass production on Monofrax K-3 refractory corrosion. A continuously fed research-scale melter containing an Fe- and Ni-rich simulated feed with borosilicate glass-forming chemicals was cyclically melted at 1150°C idled 1050°C for a total 11 weeks. Chemical maps using scanning electron microscopy show interactions between quenched melt refractory. ...

The wear properties of biomaterials have been demonstrated to have a high importance within orthopedic bearing surfaces. This study performed a comparison of the wear between the two main grades of Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene types GUR 1020 and GUR 1050 articulating against Cobalt Chromium. Such a high capacity wear comparison has not been reported elsewhere in the scientific liter...

Propionibacterium freudenreichii belongs to the class Actinobacteria (Gram positive with a high GC content). This "Generally Recognized As Safe" (GRAS) species is traditionally used as (i) a starter for Swiss-type cheeses where it is responsible for holes and aroma production, (ii) a vitamin B12 and propionic acid producer in white biotechnologies, and (iii) a probiotic for use in humans and an...
