In view of the importance hydroxyapatite/collagen composite both natural bone tissue and in synthetic biomaterials, we have investigated interaction three constituent amino acids collagen matrix with two major hydroxyapatite surfaces. We employed electronic structure techniques based on density functional theory to study a range different binding modes glycine, proline, hydroxyproline at (0001) (011̅0) performed full geometry optimizations surfaces adsorbed acid molecules obtain optimum...
In this pilot study, microplastic beads (5-50 μm) were tagged with fluorescent dye and introduced to the soil of potted Betula pendula Roth. (silver birch) saplings during growing season. After five months, root samples examined using fluorescence- confocal laser scanning microscopy. This paper presents first documented indication incorporation into tissues woody plants discusses phytoremediation potential birch in contamination.
Abstract Globally, environmental crises are at a critical point. Findings from scientific research crucial to understand these issues and inform new policies address them. Yet the rapidity with which society, industry lifestyles changing is not matched in dynamism by institutionalised science, where institutional structures slow rate of adaptation. In this paper, we propose that citizen science can act as bridge between ideal reality research, structuring interface its cultural context. so...
This study investigates the behaviour of selected, morphologically important surfaces dolomite (CaMg(CO3)2), using computational modelling techniques. Interatomic potential methods have been used to examine impurity substitution at cationic sites in these surfaces. Environmentally prevalent cations were studied this end, namely Ni2+, Co2+, Zn2+, Fe2+, Mn2+ and Cd2+, all which are also found as end-member carbonate minerals. Solid–solution was investigated showed that Cd Mn will substitute...
This report aims to enhance our understanding of stakeholder mapping for co-created citizen science initiatives. It presents and discusses findings from an international two-day workshop with researchers, event organizers, communication experts, artists realizing activities. Participants identified examples co-creation in their work mapped stakeholders three initiatives the "Doing Together Science" project. For each case, we provide overview groups involved lessons derived identifying actual...
Ab initio calculations have been used to investigate the electronic and energetic behaviour accompanying adsorption of aromatic molecules different polarities onto an insulating hydrophobic surface, as a convenient model for study characteristic weak processes in biochemistry (ligand–receptor interactions) geochemistry (aromatic pollutants on soil minerals). Four poly-chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin were chosen adsorbates; surface was (001) pyrophyllite, chemically inert, weakly polar,...
LCA tools are increasingly used to support decision making. However, the current generation of is mainly targeted at users with significant background in industrial and environmental processes. This paper presents a novel process developing Calculator inputs from community members embedded co-design process. It demonstrates how engineering can be developed by considering end-user perspectives communicate systems thinking infrastructure co-design. The development was informed outcomes...
We describe the use of new eScience tools to support collaboration, including XML data representations shared viewing information content data, metadata for documenting and Web 2.0 social networking ideas collaboration process. This latter work has led development http://SciSpace.net resource.
What is it to be the sea? Explorations of constitution sea – what comprises, where its borders are, how incorporates novel entities offer meaningful insights into nature boundaries and identity that are as relevant for humans they imperilled oceans. At advent post-Anthropocene, when global processes perceptibly react human impacts, this article elaborates on watery artistic investigations inspired by mutability permeability seas. Anchoring arguments in wide-ranging examples from...
Abstract The problem of enabling scientist users to submit jobs grid computing environments will eventually limit the usability grids. e Minerals project has tackled this by developing ‘my_condor_submit’ (MCS) tool, which provides a simple scriptable interface Globus, flexible interaction with storage resource broker, metascheduling load balancing within environment, and automatic metadata harvesting. This paper an overview MCS together use case. We also describe parameter‐sweep studies....
We review the work carried out within e Minerals project to develop eScience solutions that facilitate a new generation of molecular-scale simulation work. Technological developments include integration compute and data systems, developing collaborative frameworks researcher-friendly tools for grid job submission, XML representation, information delivery, metadata harvesting management. A number diverse science applications will illustrate how these are being used large parameter-sweep...
(1) The project "Tatort Streetlight" implements an insect-friendly road light design in a four year before-after, control-impact (BACI) approach involving citizen scientists. It will broaden the stakeholder interests from solely anthropogenic perspectives to include welfare of insects and ecosystems. Motivated by detrimental impacts lighting systems on insects, aims find solutions reduce insect attraction habitat fragmentation resulting roadway illumination. (2) science invites stakeholders...
