Methane (CH4), a key component of combustible ice, is a plentiful yet largely underutilized ocean resource. Its extreme inertness and the complexity of its storage and transportation have severely hin...
Chitosan, derived from marine resources and insects, is biodegradable, non-toxic, and chemically tunable, which makes it a good candidate in green technology. Recent improvements in chitosan composite...
Climate change and invasive species both independently threaten marine biodiversity but can also interact. Invasive species often possess traits that not only promote their success in novel environmen...
As the Gulf of Maine warms, characterizing seasonal baseline levels of the human pathogen Vibrio parahaemolyticus (Vp) in Eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) is crucial, along with synoptic enviro...
Microplastics (MPs) have been increasingly reported in deep-sea sediments, yet their occurrence and hydrodynamic controls in trench environments, particularly those influenced by contemporary turbidit...
Primary production in coastal upwelling regions has often been presumed to be supported primarily by allochthonous nutrients, but inconsistent nutrient delivery and the metabolic cost of nitrate assim...
Shewanella sp. FeAMO (=MCCC M27737) and Shewanella sp. JL219SE-S6 (=MCCC M29292) were isolated from hydrothermal sediments from Wocan-1 hydrothermal field (6°22'N, 60°32'E, at a depth of 2995 m) and T...
Zooplankton play a crucial role in marine food webs and biogeochemical cycles, and their rapid responses to environmental changes make them effective indicators of ecosystem health. However, limited d...
Coastal ecosystems are threatened by global change but remain understudied despite their importance for biodiversity and human society. For instance, most coastal studies and monitoring programs focus...
Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy is extensively employed in deep-sea structural applications owing to its excellent corrosion resistance, while its extra-low-interstitial (ELI) variant provides higher fractur...
Wastewater-based epidemiology has emerged as a valuable tool for monitoring community-level infectious disease dynamics, providing population-wide signals that complement clinical surveillance. Howeve...
We present MobileGym, a browser-hosted, lightweight, fully controllable environment for everyday mobile use, targeting interaction fidelity without replicating proprietary backends. It enables two cap...
Decision-making problems often feature uncertainty stemming from heterogeneous and context-dependent human preferences. To address this, we propose a sequential learning-and-optimization pipeline to l...
For most of scientific history, researchers studying behavior could only infer hidden mechanisms from outward actions: an inverse problem that becomes more tractable when observation is augmented by t...
Oil spills dampen the water bodies, causing serious threats to the marine environment. In this paper, oil spill detection and segmentation in satellite imagery in the presence of speckle noise is prop...
Real-world clinical decision support requires reasoning over heterogeneous and longitudinal patient information rather than answering isolated medical questions. However, current medical large languag...
Microplastic pollution, stemming from plastic degradation or direct release, presents a persistent threat to marine environments. While global concern grows, data from the Indian Ocean, especially on ...
Copper-containing steel is widely used in ship plates and other marine engineering fields due to its excellent mechanical properties and good weldability. However, in hydrogen-containing media environ...
The increase in pharmaceutical residues and environmental contaminants, including heavy metals and biotoxins, in coastal ecosystems represents a critical threat to global health. Mussels (Mytilus spp....
Continental slopes, particularly the pockmark and salt diapir regions of the Santos Basin, represent extreme environments characterized by high hydrostatic pressure, low temperatures, elevated salinit...
