OntOMat: Toward Ontology‐Based Product and Process Design Engineering and Optimization Solutions Fueling Circular Value Chains

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The OntOMat ontology establishes a structured framework for polymer matrix fiber reinforced composite materials, integrating manufacturing processes, characterization methods, and multiscale design through the VDI/VDE 3682 formalized process description standard.

Nest Predation Pressure Differs Between Urban Ground- and Hole-Nesting Birds: Evidence from a Multi-Year Artificial Nest Predation Experiment

Birds
Urbanization changes the environment through physical constructions, disturbances, and altered resource availability. These modifications influence both prey and predator assemblages.

Enhanced Ultrasound Transmission Through Aberration Layers Using Space‐Coiling Acoustic Metamaterials

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Enhancing ultrasound transmission through an aberration layer exhibiting mismatched impedance with the surrounding medium possesses great implications in imaging and treatment. In this study, we show that a space‐coiling acoustic metamaterial with judiciously tailored structural profile can help improve impedance matching.

Slit in a Nest Site Influences the Nest Site Selection in Cavity Nesting Ant Colonies

Insects
For ants, nests provide a refuge against predators and protection from environmental factors. Thus, choosing a good nest site is important for an ant colony, but nest sites are limited resources. Ants of the genus Temnothorax inhabit small cavities in, e.

Antropogenic materials in the nests of Passerine birds in the west of Ukraine

Біологічні студії, 2023
Background. Traditionally birds build their nests out of natural materials that are usually found near the location of the future nest. However, along with the expansion of human economic activity and the appearance of various types of antropogenic mate ...

Visual and Olfactory Attributes of Artificial Nests [PDF]

The Auk, 2000
Abstract Artificial nests are commonly used to investigate relative rates of nest predation in birds, but several methodological considerations need to be addressed before results from natural and artificial nests can be compared. Using field and laboratory experiments, we examined responses of predators to visual and olfactory cues that

FastNano Liquid: An Automated Platform for Small‐Angle X‐ray Scattering‐Based Materials Discovery

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
We present FastNano Liquid, an automated small‐ and wide‐angle X‐ray scattering platform for the combined synthesis and characterization of (nano)materials. The platform is coupled to varied reactor workflows for both in situ studies of reaction kinetics and ex situ screening of synthesis conditions to support machine learning‐guided exploration ...

Quantifying the relative predation pressure on bumblebee nests by the European badger (Meles meles) using artificial nests

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Bumblebee populations are declining. Factors that impact the size and success of colonies act by either limiting resource availability (bottom‐up regulation) or causing mortality, for example, pesticides, disease, and possibly predation (top‐down ...

Fully Additive Vertical Organic Electrochemical Transistors on Renewable and Compostable Substrates Enable Ultrasensitive Bioelectronics

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Fully additive vertical organic electrochemical transistors (vOECTs) with channel‐length of 226 nm on a 50 µm compostable substrate achieve >106 current modulation and ∼36 mS transconductance. Ion‐selective integration enables 1.1 mA dec−1 sensitivity and 36 µm detection limit, highlighting a scalable platform for sustainable electronics and ...
