Journal Article
Wu, M., Tang, X., Li, Q., Yang, W., Jin, F., Tang, M., & Scholz, M. (2013). Review of ecological engineering solutions for rural non-point source water pollution control in Hubei province, China. Water, Air, and Soil Pollution, 224(5), https://doi.org/10.1007/s11270-013-1561-x

Rural non-point source (RNPS) water pollution control is problematic in Hubei Province, which is a typical agricultural region with abundant rainfall and a developed natural surface water network. The concept of best management practices (BMP) origin... Read More about Review of ecological engineering solutions for rural non-point source water pollution control in Hubei province, China.

Synthesis of pure lithium amide nanoparticles (2013)
Journal Article
Baldissin, G., Boag, N., Tang, C., & Bull, D. (2013). Synthesis of pure lithium amide nanoparticles. European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, 1993-1996. https://doi.org/10.1002/ejic.201201535

Deprotonation of ammonia with n-butyllithium offers a facile synthetic route to produce pure lithium amide exhibiting fine granularity, which facilitates the complete thermal decomposition to lithium imide at a relatively low temperature of 600 K. Sy... Read More about Synthesis of pure lithium amide nanoparticles.

n-Diamond : Dynamical stability of proposed structures (2013)
Journal Article
Baldissin, G., & Bull, D. (2013). n-Diamond : Dynamical stability of proposed structures. Diamond and Related Materials, 34, 60-64. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.diamond.2013.01.010

A number of experimental works, mainly under extreme conditions, report a carbon phase with the same reflections as diamond but showing additional reflections that are forbidden for diamond. The crystal structure of this phase, called n-diamond by Hi... Read More about n-Diamond : Dynamical stability of proposed structures.

A survey on malware propagation, analysis, and detection (2013)
Journal Article
Damshenas, M., Dehghantanha, A., & Mahmod, R. (2013). A survey on malware propagation, analysis, and detection. International Journal of Computer Applications, 67(16), https://doi.org/10.5120/11480-7108

Over the last decades, there were lots of studies made on malware and their countermeasures. The most recent reports emphasize that the invention of malicious software is rapidly increasing. Moreover, the intensive use of networks and Interne... Read More about A survey on malware propagation, analysis, and detection.

Can rainwater induce Fenton-driven degradation of herbicides in natural waters? (2013)
Journal Article
Qin, J., Li, H., Lin, C., & Chen, G. (2013). Can rainwater induce Fenton-driven degradation of herbicides in natural waters?. Chemosphere, 1048-1052. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemosphere.2013.03.003

Microcosm experiments were conducted to examine Fenton reaction-driven degradation of three common herbicides exposed to a variety of Fe2+–H2O2 combinations that are likely to be encountered in natural water environments. The results show that thes... Read More about Can rainwater induce Fenton-driven degradation of herbicides in natural waters?.

Physiological, biochemical and growth responses of Italian ryegrass to butachlor exposure (2013)
Journal Article
Wang, S., Li, H., & Lin, C. (2013). Physiological, biochemical and growth responses of Italian ryegrass to butachlor exposure. Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology, 106(1-2), 21-27. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pestbp.2013.03.007

A dose–response experiment was conducted to examine the effects of butachlor on the growth, physiology and biochemistry of Italian ryegrass. The plant suffered a >50% reduction in fresh biomass when exposed to a butachlor dose of 5 mg L�1. However,...

Sexual size dimorphism in anurans fails to obey Rensch’s rule (2013)
Journal Article
Rensch’s rule. Frontiers in Zoology, 10(10), https://doi.org/10.1186/1742-9994-10-10

Background: Sexual size dimorphism (SSD) is related to ecology, behaviour and life history of organisms. Rensch’s rule states that SSD increases with overall body size in species where males are the larger sex, while decreasing with body size when...
