Improved understanding of both the Small Skeletal Fossil (SSF) assemblages and archaeocyath reefs of the early Cambrian Period is important to best elucidate the evolution of early marine ecosystems during the Cambrian Radiation. To address this issue, we investigate the well-preserved SSF fauna associated with archaeocyaths of the early Cambrian Xiannüdong Formation (Dayingcun Section, Nanzheng area, southern Shaanxi). The Xi...

Bottom trawling affects seabed habitats, but its large‐scale impacts remain poorly quantified. Assessment of trawling impacts is essential to support monitoring and achieving sustainability objectives under international conventions, sustainable development goals, and seafood certification programs. We present a Europe‐wide quantitative assessment of bottom trawling impacts, accounting for regional seabed‐community sensitivity...

Transdermal drug delivery provides therapeutic benefits over enteric or injection delivery because its transdermal routes provide more consistent concentrations of drug and avoid issues of drugs affecting kidneys and liver functions. Many technologies have been evaluated to enhance drug delivery through the relatively impervious epidermal layer of the skin. However, precise delivery of large hydrophilic molecules is still a gr...
