Abstract Some planktonic patches have markedly higher concentrations of organisms compared to ambient conditions and are <5 m in thickness (i.e. thin layers). Conventional net sampling techniques are unable to resolve this vertical microstructure, while optical imaging systems can measure it for limited durations. Zooglider, an autonomous zooplankton-sensing glider, uses a low-power optical imaging system (Zoocam) to resolve mesozooplankton at a vertical scale of 5 cm while making concurrent physical and acoustic measurements (Zonar). In March 2017, Zooglider was compared with traditional nets (MOCNESS) and ship-based acoustics (Simrad EK80). Zoocam recorded significantly higher vertically integrated abundances of smaller copepods and appendicularians, and larger gelatinous predators and mineralized protists, but similar abundances of chaetognaths, euphausiids, and nauplii. Differences in concentrations and size-frequency distributions are attributable to net extrusion and preservation artifacts, suggesting advantages of in situ imaging of organisms by Zooglider. Zoocam detected much higher local concentrations of copepods and appendicularians (53 000 and 29 000 animals m−3, respectively) than were resolvable by nets. The EK80 and Zonar at 200 kHz agreed in relative magnitude and distribution of acoustic backscatter. The profiling capability of Zooglider allows for deeper high-frequency acoustic sampling than conventional ship-based acoustics.

The ultra-light calcium silicate material was reinforced with the method of xonotlite whisker in-situ growth via hydrothermal synthesis. Effects of different hydrothermal temperatures and reaction times on the microstructure and physical properties of the reinforcement were studied in this paper. The results indicated that the hydrothermal temperatures and times posed great impacts on microstructure of the reinforcement. The increase of hydrothermal temperature and time was beneficial to the growth of xonotlite crystal. The effect of buffer and transfer action of the xonotlite whiskers was the key to reinforcing the ultra-light calcium silicate material.

Covalent organic frameworks doped with metal cations can be used as novel precursors for the in situ encapsulation of metal NPs into N doped hollow carbon spheres. The integration of the hollow structure, N dopant and ultrafine Pd NPs gives the hybrid nanocomposites advanced catalytic performance.
