The myth of the metabolic baseline: sleep–wake cycles undermine a foundational assumption in organismal biology

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Basal and standard metabolic rate (BMR and SMR) are cornerstones of physiological ecology and are assumed to be relatively fixed intrinsic properties of organisms that represent the minimum energy required to sustain life. However, this assumption is conceptually flawed. Many core maintenance processes underlying SMR are temporally partitioned

Reversible Phase‐Change‐Induced Transparency Switching and Dynamic Thermal Regulation Gel for Energy‐Efficient Smart Windows

open access: yesEcoEnergy, EarlyView.
The phase transition process imparts shape‐stable gels with the capability of reversible transparency modulation and temperature‐responsive heat storage and release. When applied to smart windows, this property ensures the maintenance of thermal energy within the human thermal comfort zone, thereby facilitating indoor energy conservation.

A dam‐inspired textile patch with layer‐by‐layer isovolumetric water transport for sweat loss monitoring

open access: yesInfoMat, EarlyView.
A dam‐inspired textile patch for controllable and quantitative sweat transport (as in dams transporting ships) and sweat loss monitoring. Unlike the conventional Janus‐structured textile of directional water transport model, this textile patch features a multi‐laminated all‐porous fabric structure with an unprecedented layer‐by‐layer isovolumetric ...

Thermoregulation mechanisms and nest size-dependent foraging behavior in the Red Wood Ant (Formica rufa)

open access: yesTurkish Journal of Forestry
This study investigates how thermoregulation strategies and foraging behavior in red wood ants (Formica rufa) vary according to nest volume. The effects of these behavioral and physiological adaptations on nest microclimate and colony organization were ...

Near‐Infrared Spectroscopy as a Resource for Assessing the Rest and Activation of Pelvic Floor Muscles in Young Adult Women: A Cross‐Sectional Study

open access: yesJournal of Biophotonics, EarlyView.
This study shows that near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is capable of identifying changes in oxygenation of the pelvic floor muscles during rest and contraction, offering a promising noninvasive alternative for clinical assessment and research in women's health.
