Germinative capacity of native plant species with forage potential under tropical rainforest conditions at the mountain-foot

Revista de Ciências Agroveterinárias, 2022
The humid tropics harbor great biological diversity, in addition to native species with forage potential as alternatives for animal feed. However, using trees and shrubs and having plantations are limited by the absence of information on their growth ...

Notizen: The Wax of Calathea lutea (Marantaceae)

Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C, 1979
Abstract Calathea lutea lives in rain forests of Central America. It produces a conspicuous wax coating on the under surface of the leaves. As contribution to the as yet rather poor chemical knowledge on the Marantaceae, the composition of this wax has been analyzed.

Bionic Tactile Skins for Robotics: Fundamentals, Advances, and Future Prospects

SmartSys, Volume 2, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Robotic bionic tactile skins (RBTSs), as crucial components of next‐generation robotic systems, have attracted significant attention in recent years. By enabling robots to achieve human‐like tactile perception and interact effectively with their surroundings, RBTSs play an essential role in enhancing robotic intelligence.

Forest type influence on Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 660-674, May 2026.
Responses to forest type depended on the developmental stage of dipterans. Bract traits and forest type influenced larval abundance, but forest type had no impact on adult alpha and beta diversity. Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks showed a nested pattern for both forest types.

Ultrafast Photocatalytic Wettability Switching in Substrate‐Interface Tailored Titanium Dioxide Thin Films

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 7, 7 April 2026.
This study demonstrates ultrafast photocatalytic wettability switching in TiO2 thin films by tailoring substrate doping and interface oxides. Enhanced switching rates and hemiwicking effects are achieved through optimized material stacks and nanostructuring.

Flexible ionic pressure sensors: From migration‐electronic mechanisms to emerging iontronic paradigms

InfoMat, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
Mechanisms, materials, structures, and applications of the FIPSs. Abstract Flexible ionic pressure sensors (FIPS) have emerged as promising candidates for bridging the gap between electronics and biologically compatible interfaces. Unlike previous reviews, which focused primarily on materials or devices, this review presents a classification of FIPS ...

Application Research of Microstructured Flexible Sensors in Rehabilitative Wearable Sensing

iNew Medicine, Volume 2, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Flexible sensors enable the continuous, real‐time monitoring of the physiological and movement signals of patients, providing data support for precise rehabilitation strategies and playing a crucial role in rehabilitation medicine. However, traditional rigid sensors are often incompatible with dynamic body contours due to their high material ...

Susceptibility of Calathea Species and Cultivars to Bipolaris setariae [PDF]

Journal of Environmental Horticulture, 1987
Relative susceptibility of five species of Calathea to Bipolaris setariae, the cause of Helminthosporium leaf spot, was tested under greehouse conditions. Calathea louisae ‘Green Feather’ and C. roseopicta were highly resistant, while C. makoyana ‘Peacock Plant’ was moderately resistant. The most susceptible species were C.
