“…During these stopovers, IAV has been consistently recovered from ruddy turnstones (Arenaria interpres) that are likely to become infected as they feed by probing sand and cobble in search of food. In May 2010–2012, we successfully isolated 19 IAV from environmental samples (sand, n = 18; horseshoe crab eggs, n = 1) obtained from DE Bay sites. …”

“…In light of these results and drier environmental conditions (annual mean precipitation is 366 mm, which falling mainly between June and August), potential selections for revegetation of different landscapes include the following: A. cristatum for shifting sand dunes, the establishment of the pioneer species Agriophyllum squarrosum, C. microphylla for semifixed sand dunes, E. dahuricus for fixed sand dunes, and Melilotus suaveolens and Medicago sativa for cultivation.…”

“…An investigation was undertaken to develop suitable refractories as facecoat materials for the directionally solidified blades of DZ22B nickel-based superalloys in order to avoid a sand-burning defect. The wettability and interface reactions between alloy melt and various facecoats were studied by using a sessile drop experiment and the real investment casting method, respectively. …”
