    Abstract The primary reliance of birds on vision is readily and frequently asserted. Casual observations of birds completing their everyday behaviours is sufficient to convince most observers that birds are using vision to control their key behaviours. This assertion is supported by evidence that in most bird species relatively large portions of their brains are devoted to the analysis of information from vision. Also, the so-called intelligent behaviours of birds seem to be based primarily upon visual information. Thus, gaining information from vision, and using it to guide sophisticated behaviours, is seen as a vital component of what makes birds so fascinating.

    Abstract Throughout their evolution seabirds have not had to contend with the collision risk posed by discrete objects that extend into their flight space above the water surface. However, the recent introduction of offshore wind turbines has significantly increased the potential for collisions. Bird collision risk with Offshore Wind Farm (OWF) turbines is now a major consenting consideration for OWF projects due to potential local population impacts on birds, especially those associated with protected sites. Therefore, the possibility of reducing those risks through a simple mitigation is highly desirable. Key elements for the design of vision-based mitigation measures aimed at reducing the collision of marine birds with wind turbines should be based upon knowledge of the vision of birds, not the vision of humans. May et al. (2020) tested a vision-based wind turbine mitigation measure and reported a modelled 70% reduction in annual turbine-blade collision mortality rate at a terrestrial location in a suite of 19 bird species. The aim of the present proposals is to extend this vision-based mitigation approach and increase its applicability to a broad suite of bird species considered vulnerable to collisions with wind turbines at sea. Key aspects of the vision, behaviour and ecology of marine birds which contribute to their collision risk under a range of natural viewing conditions are reviewed. The same information is then employed to give insights into the requirements of vision-based mitigation measures. We argue that the internal visual contrast of wind turbines should be increased using achromatic patterns applied to blades and pylons. These patterns should reduce the collision vulnerability of marine birds in general and should be effective under a range of visibility conditions determined by natural light levels and weather conditions. The measures should allow birds with different flight speeds and visual acuities to detect turbines sufficiently early to allow alteration of flight direction and avoid collision. ...

    Abstract Manganese (Mn) control in surface water systems is a challenge for the drinking water industry, especially through a sustainability framework. Current methods for removing manganese from surface water use strong oxidants that embed carbon and can be expensive and harmful to human health and the environment. In this study, we used a simple biofilter design to remove manganese from lake water, without conventional surface water pre-treatments. Biofilters with aerated influent removed manganese to concentrations below 10 µg/L when receiving influent water containing > 120 µg/L of dissolved manganese. Manganese removal was not inhibited by high iron loadings or poor ammonia removal, suggesting that removal mechanisms may differ from groundwater biofilters. Experimental biofilters also achieved lower effluent manganese concentrations than the full-scale conventional treatment process, while receiving higher manganese concentrations. This biological approach could help achieve sustainable development goals.

    Abstract Introduction: Individuals with chronic physical illness are at increased risk of negative psychological sequelae. Immersive virtual reality (VR) is an emerging treatment that might reduce these negative effects and increase quality of life in individuals with chronic physical illness.
    Objective: To systematically review literature examining the use of immersive VR in adult populations with chronic physical illness to understand: (1) how immersive VR is used to improve psychological well-being of adults with chronic physical illness (2) what effect this immersive VR has on the psychological well-being of adults with chronic physical illness.
    Design: Systematic literature review and meta-analysis. Searches of Ovid Medline/PubMed, PsycINFO, Embase, Web of Science and Scopus between July 1993 and March 2023 inclusive.
    Results: 12 811 texts were identified; 31 met the inclusion criteria. Relaxing and engaging immersive VR interventions were shown to be acceptable and feasible among adults with cancer, dementia, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease and multiple sclerosis. Many of the studies reviewed were feasibility or pilot studies and so the evidence about effectiveness is more limited. The evidence, mostly from studies of people with cancer, suggests that immersive VR can have a positive effects on anticipatory anxiety symptoms and pain.
    Conclusions: Environment-based and game-based relaxing immersive VR offer novel interventions, with beneficial effects among people with cancer and, potentially, beneficial effects in those with other long-term physical illness.
