Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 2, Page 243-253, March 2026.ABSTRACT Previous studies on Cydia pomonella eggs have demonstrated reliable egg adhesion to the leaves and fruits of various apple cultivars. In contrast to biological substrates, this study is focused on standardised synthetic substrates to measure egg pull‐off forces and determine adhesive strength, allowing for an unbiased comparison with other ...

Strain Effects in a Directly Bonded Diamond‐on‐Insulator Substrate
physica status solidi (a), Volume 223, Issue 3, 6 February 2026.Strain effects in a directly bonded diamond‐on‐insulator substrate are investigated using NV‐based optically detected magnetic resonance and photoluminescence mapping. Enhanced volumetric and shear strain is observed near the bonded interface, but without significant degradation of NV optical properties.
