The Optimum Flight Speeds of Flying Animals
Journal of Avian Biology, 1998 Conventional models of bird flight combine metabolic, mechanical, and aerodynamic components to calculate the rate of fuel consumption and power required for flight, from which we may derive the optimal speeds flying animals should use in different situations.

Formation of Quasi‐Decoupling Interface on Li‐Metal Anodes in High Donor Electrolyte
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Li‐metal anode (LMA) is stabilized by introducing Li2Te2 as an electrolyte additive for Li‐metal batteries. Upon contact with Li, Li2Te2 spontaneously converts to Li2Te, which electronically isolates Li from dimethyl sulfoxide due to its large bandgap and minimal Bader charge transfer.

A retractable barb needle for drug darts
Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 1973 The mechanism and action of a new retractable barbneedle for drug darts are described. This dart needle is particularly successful in obviating unnecessary flight reactions andtrauma in darted animals, and facilitates the complete injection of the drug ...

The wake dynamics and flight forces of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
, 1996 We have used flow visualizations and instantaneous force measurements of tethered fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) to study the dynamics of force generation during flight.

Feedback Control as a Framework for Understanding Tradeoffs in Biology [PDF]
, 2014 Control theory arose from a need to control synthetic systems. From regulating steam engines to tuning radios to devices capable of autonomous movement, it provided a formal mathematical basis for understanding the role of feedback in the stability (or ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Significant nanoscale oxygen diffusion coefficient variations are measured in ferroelectric hafnium zirconium oxide films with grain boundaries and electrode interfaces exhibiting values 104 times larger than the grain cores. Overall coefficients are 10X larger for films prepared with metal nitride electrodes compared to refractory metals. New insights

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.In the work reported herein, dipole‐engineered sulfonated carbon nanofibers enable conductive additives to actively regulate interphase formation in silicon anodes. Polar sulfonyl groups guide electrolyte decomposition to form a compact LiF‐rich interphase while promoting robust integration with silicon.

Dietary Acid Load and Bone Turnover During Long-Duration Spaceflight and Bed Rest [PDF]
Background Bed rest studies document that a lower dietary acid load is associated with lower bone resorption. Objective We tested the effect of dietary acid load on bone metabolism during spaceflight. Design Controlled 4-d diets with a high or low animal
