Reduction of nutrient fluxes across the sediment–water interface and nutrient accumulation in lotus-fish co-culture aquaculture ponds
Continuously feed-based aquaculture leads to excessive nitrogen and phosphate loads, degrading the culture environment. In this study, lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn) was planted in yellow catfish (Pelteobagrus f...

The effect of target detection task on memory encoding varies in different stimulus onset asynchronies
The attentional boost effect (ABE) and action-induced memory enhancement (AIME) suggest that memory performance for target-paired items is superior to that for distractor-paired items when participants perform...

The coevolution of migrating planets and their pulsating stars through episodic resonance locking
Hot Jupiters are expected to form far from their host star and move to a close-in, circular orbit through a smooth, monotonic decay due to mild and constant tidal dissipation. Yet, systems exhibiting planet-in...

Calcination-free crystallization of rare earth double tungstate Na(La1 − xEux)(WO4)2 by sacrificial-template hydrothermal reaction, restrained concentration quenching, and optical thermometry
A series of Na(La1 − xEux)(WO4)2 (NLW) phosphors were directly generated without calcination and organic additive via reaction of the (La1 − xEux)(OH)SO4 template with Na2WO4 by hydrothermal reaction. The XRD res...
