Simple fabrication of an electrospun polystyrene microfiber filter that meets N95 filtering facepiece respirator filtration and breathability standards

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 140, Issue 5, February 5, 2023., 2023
The COVID‐19 pandemic led to a backlog of filtration material for N95 Filtering Facepiece Respirators (FFRs). An alternative face mask filter material is presented, consisting of an unsupported, nonwoven layer of uncharged polystyrene microfibers. This microfiber material meets NIOSH N95 FFR filtration and breathability requirements, demonstrates ...

Long-term and persistent vocal plasticity in adult bats. [PDF]

, 2019
Bats exhibit a diverse and complex vocabulary of social communication calls some of which are believed to be learned during development. This ability to produce learned, species-specific vocalizations - a rare trait in the animal kingdom - requires a ...

Small subunit ribosomal metabarcoding reveals extraordinary trypanosomatid diversity in Brazilian bats [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Bats are a highly successful, globally dispersed order of mammals that occupy a wide array of ecological niches. They are also intensely parasitized and implicated in multiple viral, bacterial and parasitic zoonoses.

Gut Microbiota Modulation by Inulin Improves Metabolism and Ovarian Function in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work proposes a novel strategy targeting gut microbiota for managing polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Inulin, a gut microbiota modulator, notably boosts the growth of short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs)‐producers, represented by Bifidobacterium, thereby improving glucolipid metabolism and ovarian function of PCOS through suppressing the inflammatory ...

Host Galaxy Properties of the Swift BAT Ultra Hard X-ray Selected AGN [PDF]

, 2011
We have assembled the largest sample of ultra hard X-ray selected (14-195 keV) AGN with host galaxy optical data to date, with 185 nearby (z<0.05), moderate luminosity AGN from the Swift BAT sample. The BAT AGN host galaxies have intermediate optical colors (u-r and g-r) that are bluer than a comparison sample of inactive galaxies and optically ...

Classification of flying bats using computer vision techniques [PDF]

, 2012
We are developing computer vision techniques to automatically monitor bat populations, and extract biometric features which will be used to gather important population data. The biometric features will include shape, speed, trajectory features, and wing

Distribution of catecholamine fibers in the cochlear nucleus of horseshoe bats and mustache bats [PDF]

, 1988
The glyoxylic-acid-induced fluorescence technique was applied to demonstrate patterns of catecholaminergic innervation within the auditory brainstem of echolocating bats and the house mouse.

Gut Microbiota Colonization in Early Life Influences Susceptibility to Adulthood Hepatic Lipid Accumulation in High‐Fat‐Diet‐Fed Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study indicates that perinatal antibiotic exposure elevates susceptibility to high‐fat‐diet‐induced hepatic lipid accumulation via disrupting early‐life gut microbiota colonization. The decreased Lactobacillus colonization inhibits primary‐to‐secondary bile acid conversion, lowering secondary bile acids, enhancing adulthood intestinal lipid ...

Suitability of Natura 2000 sites for threatened freshwater species under projected climate change

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 32, Issue 12, Page 1872-1887, December 2022., 2022
Abstract As part of the world's largest coordinated network of protected areas, Natura 2000, European Union member states designate special areas of conservation (SACs) to maintain or achieve favourable conservation status for imperilled aquatic species listed under Annex II of the Habitats Directive.

Human Betacoronavirus 2c EMC/2012–related Viruses in Bats, Ghana and Europe

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2013
We screened fecal specimens of 4,758 bats from Ghana and 272 bats from 4 European countries for betacoronaviruses. Viruses related to the novel human betacoronavirus EMC/2012 were detected in 46 (24.9%) of 185 Nycteris bats and 40 (14.7%) of 272 ...
