Understanding the Environmental Sensitivity of Nickel(3) Aluminum
A Controlled Environment Transmission Electron Microscope was used to investigate the failure of a boron-free polycrystalline Ni3Al alloy produced by cold rolling and recrystallizing a single crystal in hydrogen. The effect of hydrogen is to lower the threshold stress for the nucleation of …

The Environmental Sensitivity of Cold-water Corals Lophelia pertusa
… pertusa on North Sea oil infrastructure and its environmental sensitivity to oil and gas activities. Underwater videos from industry platform surveys were examined to identify L. pertusa, detail its occurrence at two sites (Heather and North Alwyn A (NAA)), and to look for evidence of exposure to …

Molecular regulation of vasopressin receptor among (mostly) monogamous prairie voles
… emerges as a result of genetic, epigenetic and environmental variation. Although prairie voles are socially monogamous, they vary in sexual fidelity; faithful prairie voles are described as intra-pair fertilizing (IPF), while unfaithful voles are extra-pair fertilizing (EPF). EPF males have …

The effects of urbanization on winter avian diversity: a citizen science and GIS study
… on wildlife populations due to their environmental sensitivity and ease of observation. While previous studies have investigated changes in species richness and abundance related to urbanization, there is a need for more broad-scale studies geographically associating changes in bird …

The Development of 2,3-Diarylindenes as Integrated Fluorescent Estrogens
… However, a long emission wavelength and high environmental sensitivity was attained by affixing an acceptor nitro auxochrome to the 2-aryl ring. In the p-position, the nitro group produced a quasi-planar intramolecular charge transfer state, with emission from 490 nm in heptane to 672 nm in …
