Biological denitrification is limited by slow nitrate (NO3-) reduction due to low electron transfer efficiency, unsatisfactory community functional efficiency and insufficient metabolic activity of microbial communities. To overcome these challenges, Ni2+ and Fe2+ were incorporated with gallic acid (GA) to form bimetallic polyphenol networks (NiFeGA BPNs) ...

Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) are well-known for their ability to convert nonbioavailable phosphates into bioavailable forms, however, research on PSB that possess both phosphate solubilization and crude oil degradation capabilities in marine environments has not yet been explored, and the role of these bacteria in microbial remediation of petrole ...

The 7-item Functionality Appreciation Scale (FAS) is a widely used instrument to assess functionality appreciation, a central facet of positive body image. Here, we examined the psychometric properties of a novel French translation of the FAS. French-speaking Canadian adults were asked to complete the FAS and validated measures of positive body image, psy ...

Leaf area index (LAI) is a key indicator of crop growth and development and is widely used in both agricultural research and precision farming applications. PlanetScope imagery is generally used for monitoring crop growth due to its high revisit frequency, broad spatial coverage, and cost-effective access to consistent high-resolution multispectral data. ...

Indigenous Peoples actively manage or have tenure rights over lands where many rare and valued species occur. To meet national and global conservation targets, it is important to meaningfully consider Indigenous knowledges and rights in endangered species laws. We examined whether the Canadian Sp ...

Rhythmic auditory cueing (RAC) improves spatiotemporal gait parameters in older adults, often using isochronous rhythmic cues (i.e., with constant inter-beat-intervals). However, healthy gait contains fractal-like variability, (i.e., with persistent long-range correlations; LRC) which is disturbed when walking to isochronous cues. Embedding auditory cues ...

The human gut is a dynamic environment, where changes in pH, oxygen, and osmolality influence microbiota composition and disease. Monitoring these environmental shifts is crucial for advancing gut health diagnostics and therapeutics, yet non-invasive monitoring tools remain limited. Genetically tractable commensals, including Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, ...
