Bio‐based polymer composites were 3D printed by LCD vat photopolymerization using acrylate epoxidized soybean oil as the monomer and isobornyl methacrylate as the reactive diluent. Two different poplar powders derived from plywood processing waste were incorporated within the photocurable formulations.

The behaviour of clothoid-shaped composite dowels: Experimental and numerical investigations
Abstract Investigations leading to an evaluation of the ultimate strength of a clothoid-shaped continuous shear connection are presented. This paper follows a study by the authors, in which the behaviour of puzzle-shaped composite dowels was evaluated. Owing to its good fatigue, elastic and ultimate strength, the modified clothoidal dowel shape (MCL)

Exploring Potential Mechanisms for the Initiation of Solifluction Patterns
Abstract Hillslopes in arctic regions commonly display large‐scale features—known as solifluction patterns—that form due to the exceedingly slow downhill movement of frost‐heaved soil. Here we use a combination of remote sensing data, linear stability analysis, numerical modeling, and review of a wide range of literature to evaluate several working ...

Reintroduction of an Endangered Butterfly, the Mottled Duskywing (Erynnis martialis)
We reintroduced Mottled Duskywing (Erynnis martialis), an endangered skipper butterfly, at different life‐stages to restored oak savanna habitat in Ontario, Canada and then performed intensive post‐release monitoring. Our results show that, at one of three sites, a population was established within two years of initiating releases and that pupae and ...

Reversing Fatigue Damage in Carbon Fiber–Thermoplastic Composites Using Localized Plasma Heating
Schematic overview of the plasma‐assisted repair strategy for fatigue‐damaged short fiber carbon fiber/ABS composites. Pristine specimens are subjected to cyclic fatigue loading inducing damage. Localized plasma heating softens the thermoplastic matrix, enabling healing and restoring mechanical performance. Tensile testing is used to quantify recovery.

Bimanual Coordination and Right‐Hand Bias in Extractive Foraging by Wild Sapajus libidinosus
Wild Sapajus libidinosus exhibit a significant preference at the population level for using their right‐hand fingers to extract nut kernels when employing bimanual coordination. ABSTRACT Bimanual coordination is considered a crucial factor in the evolution of manual lateralization.

Abstract Laboratory experiments investigated how the presence of biofilm and particle size influenced deposition in both bare and vegetated channels. Both abiotic and biotic sediment beds were considered, with the biotic beds containing Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS). As current magnitude and turbulent kinetic energy increased, particles were
