Amphibian skin-secreted antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have garnered significant attention for their excellent biological activity and low propensity for drug resistance over the past 40 years. Bombinins and bombinin H, two classes of AMPs isolated from the skin secretions of Bombina species, demonstrate strong antimicrobial activity against broad-spectrum microorganisms. In this study, two novel peptides, bombinin-like peptide...

With the rapid development of island construction and the frequent occurrence of natural disasters, the stability of coral reef slopes is attracting increasing attention. This study aims to assess the dynamic stability and instability risks of coral reef slopes under different earthquake intensities. Geological data were integrated, and the Newmark method and finite element analysis were employed for probabilistic stability as...

The leakage of subsea oil and gas pipelines can have adverse impacts on production progress and the ecological environment. Investigating the sound source and near-field sound propagation of pipeline leaks is essential for understanding the acoustic characteristics of and variations in these leaks. Such understanding is significant for the accurate detection and location of small leaks in pipelines. In this study, we designed...
