Scientific Opinion on the safety and efficacy of AviMatrix® (benzoic acid, calcium formate and fumaric acid) for chickens for fattening, chickens reared for laying, minor avian species for fattening and minor avian species reared to point of lay

EFSA Journal, 2015
Abstract AviMatrix® is a granulated preparation of benzoic acid, calcium formate and fumaric acid encapsulated in a lipid matrix. The additive is intended to be used as a zootechnical additive in feedingstuffs for chickens for fattening, chickens reared for laying, minor avian species for fattening and minor avian species reared to point of lay with a ...

Development of a Zebrafish Embryo‐Based Test System for Thyroid Hormone System Disruption: 3Rs in Ecotoxicological Research

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract There is increasing concern regarding pollutants disrupting the vertebrate thyroid hormone (TH) system, which is crucial for development. Thus, identification of TH system–disrupting chemicals (THSDCs) is an important requirement in the Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) testing framework.

Arterial Perivascular Space‐Mediated Solute Transport in the Mouse Brain

Exploration, EarlyView.
The mechanisms underlying solute clearance from the brain parenchyma remain debated, with competing hypotheses involving bulk cerebrospinal fluid flow versus perivascular transport. Using multimodal in vivo imaging and computational modeling in mice, this study demonstrates that arterial pulsation drives bidirectional solute movement within the ...

Bioinspired Regenerative Lignification Enables Ultra‐Hard and Sustainable Bamboo Structural Materials

Exploration, EarlyView.
Developing strong and sustainable materials is essential for reducing reliance on metals and lowering carbon emissions. Inspired by how plants naturally harden their cell walls, we created a rapid process that transforms bamboo into an ultra‐hard structural material by rebuilding lignin‐like networks within its structure.

Influence of Adhesive Type on Heat Induced Delamination in Tension Loaded Shear Lap Cross‐Laminated Timber Samples Exposed to Radiant Heat Flux

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heat induced delamination (HID) is a phenomenon in engineered wood products which may result in the detachment of the bonded timber lamellae before charring propagates to the bond line interphase. This study aims to correlate the thermal degradation of two 1‐c‐polyurethane adhesives at the microscale to the thermo‐hydro‐mechanical behaviour of

Progressive Cellularization of Blastoderm and Extraembryonic Tissue Formation in the Ant Camponotus floridanus

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Illustration of the process of cellularization in Camponotus floridanus (top row) compared to Drosophila melanogaster (bottom row). Progressive direct formation of differentiating blastoderm mode is depicted using hexagons that represent energids (without borders) and cells (with borders). Colors of nuclei represent different cell types.

Looking at Soil as It Is: Evolution of Microscopic Soil Characterization From Kubiëna to Artificial Intelligence

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
We provide a historic overview of microscopic soil structure characterization from its founding father, Walter Kubiëna, to several technical revolutions like automation, digitalization, and artificial intelligence. In addition to technical advancements, we explore how concepts and research questions have evolved in time.

Little penguins select more isolated nest boxes for breeding, but lay date influences breeding success

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We determined that more isolated and possibly older nest boxes were selected by little penguins for breeding at Pōhatu/Flea Bay, New Zealand. However, breeding success was influenced by lay date in comparison to nest box characteristics. These findings inform immediate conservation recommendations regarding nest box design and placement.
