Abstract
Current methods employed in the textile industry are unsustainable because they use an abundance of water in the dying process, and discharge the waste into the environment, causing adverse health effect on aquatic life and local communities. The technology that is in place to remove dye from textile effluents...

Species distribution models (SDMs) are increasingly applied in conservation management
to predict suitable habitat for poorly known populations. High predictive performance of
SDMs is evident in validations performed within the model calibration area (interpolation),
but few studies have assessed SDM transferability to novel areas (extrapolation), particularly
across large spatial scales...

Hydroacoustic data document the occurrence of 5 flare clusters and several single flares from which bubbles rise through the entire water column from an active seep site at 40 m water depth in the central North Sea. We investigated the difference in dissolved methane distributions along a 6 km transect...

We investigated dissolved methane distributions along a 6 km transect crossing active seep sites at 40 m water depth in the central North Sea. These investigations were done under conditions of thermal stratification in summer (July 2013) and homogenous water column in winter (January 2014). Dissolved methane accumulated below the...

We present a kinetic model based upon pore water data collected from eight sites drilled
during the second Ulleung Basin gas hydrate drilling expedition (UBGH2) in 2010.
Three sites were drilled at locations where acoustic chimneys were identified in seismic
data, and the rest were drilled on non-chimney (i.e. background)...

Sporosarcina pasteurii is known to produce calcite or biocement in the presence of urea and Ca²⁺. Herein, we report the use of novel ultramicrosensors such as pH, Ca²⁺, and redox sensors, along with a scanning electrochemical microscope (SECM), to monitor a real-time, bacteria-mediated urea hydrolysis process and subsequent changes in...

Bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) were not known to live on Tiburón Island, the largest island in the Gulf of California and
Mexico, prior to the surprisingly successful introduction of 20 individuals as a conservation measure in 1975. Today, a stable
island population of ~500 sheep supports limited big game hunting...

Air particulate matter (PM) samples were collected from June 2006 to May 2007 for determination chemical elements. PM samples were taken in two size fractions (PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀) with MiniVolume air samplers on rooftops of various buildings (15-25 m above ground) in the city of Riyadh. The samples were subjected...

This thesis explores a three month period that I spent abroad working in medical clinics and hospitals in Ecuador. My work was conducted in three distinct areas: the urban landscape of Quito, Ecuador’s capital; Puyo, a small town bordering the Amazonian rainforest; and a small community located in the heart...
