How Does AI-2 Affect Carbon Steel Corrosion Caused by Sulfate Reducing Bacteria?
Sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) are vital corrosive microorganisms, and they are blamed for half of the cost from microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). Biofilm is the core in corrosion caused by SRB, and the development of biofilms is strictly r...Sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) are vital corrosive microorganisms, and they are blamed for half of the cost from microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC).

Discovering Subsurface Ocean Mixing in the Equatorial Ocean Thermocline
Mixing in the ocean is a poorly understood process that is recognized to be significant to climate. A fundamental question of recent interest is whether large ocean currents, like the Gulf Stream, the Kuroshio, can contribute to mixing, the answer to th...Mixing in the ocean is a poorly understood process that is recognized to be significant to climate.
