Nano‐ and Micro‐Sized Solid Materials Used as Antiviral Agents
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Due to the rise of viral infections in humans and possible viral outbreaks, the use of nano‐ or micro‐sized materials as antiviral agents is rapidly increasing. This review explores their antiviral properties against RNA and DNA viruses, either as a prevention or a treatment tool, by delving into their mechanisms of action and how to properly assess ...

Effects of fire on ground‐dwelling arthropods in a shrub‐dominated grassland
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Arthropods are abundant and diverse animals in many terrestrial food webs. In western Oklahoma, some shrublands are interspersed with discrete, dense thickets of tall, woody vegetation, known as mottes.

Modeling, Simulation and Implementation of All Terrain Adaptive Five DOF Robot
Sensors, 2022 The ability of an off-road robot to traverse obstacles determines whether the robot can complete complex environmental tasks. In order to improve the off-road ability of off-road robots, this paper proposes a new design idea, in which four hub motors are

Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2008 The 7SK small nuclear RNA (snRNA) is a key player in the regulation of polymerase (pol) II transcription. The 7SK RNA was long believed to be specific to vertebrates where it is highly conserved. Homologs in basal deuterostomes and a few lophotrochozoan species were only recently reported.
