Story2Board: A Training‐Free Approach for Expressive Visual Storytelling

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We present Story2Board, a training‐free framework for expressive storyboard generation from natural language. Existing methods narrowly focus on subject identity, overlooking key aspects of visual storytelling such as spatial composition, background evolution, and narrative pacing.

Informal supply chains of wild meat from rural Amazonia and food security in an urban center

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Iquitos, the most populated city in the Peruvian Amazon, is a hub in the regional supply chain of wild meat and supplies urban consumers. Studies on wild meat consumption have focused primarily on markets, limiting the scope of species considered to those that are economically valuable and potential inferences from those data.

Occurrence and Washout of Health‐Hazardous Chemicals in Children's Clothing

open access: yesContact Dermatitis, EarlyView.
A survey of 60 children's garments from the Swedish market showed a varying, often highly complex chemical content. The highest levels were generally found in synthetic materials and the lowest in light‐coloured cotton. Further, the washout effect by laundry and sweat migration of textile chemicals was investigated.

Delipidisation of wool fibres and the subsequent beneficial properties of delipidised wool fibres

open access: yesColoration Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Wool fibres are complex matrices of proteins and fatty acids/lipids found both internally and externally. 18‐methyleicosanoic acid (18‐MEA) is covalently bound to the surface of the fibre via a thio‐ester link, and is considered one of the most important lipids as it is responsible for the hydrophobic properties of wool fibres.

Enhancing the fastness characteristics of weld‐dyed cotton and recycled nylon 6,6 fabrics via sodium alginate and titanium dioxide

open access: yesColoration Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates a sustainable dyeing and finishing strategy for recycled nylon 6,6 and organic cotton fabrics dyed with weld. Following meta‐mordant dyeing using alum under Natural Organic Dye Standard (NODS)‐compliant conditions, the fabrics were subjected to functional finishing with titanium dioxide as a multifunctional ...

Alternative Food for Litter‐Inhabiting Predators Decreases Thrips Densities and Above‐Ground Plant Damage

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We studied predatory soil mites that control the thrips Frankliniella occidentalis. Thrips densities were significantly reduced by the predator Cosmolaelaps sabelisi. It presumably feeds on prepupae and pupae in the soil and on larvae aboveground.
