Toward Environmentally Friendly Hydrogel‐Based Flexible Intelligent Sensor Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
This review summarizes environmentally and biologically friendly hydrogel‐based flexible sensor systems focusing on physical, chemical, and physiological sensors. Furthermore, device concepts moving forward for the practical application are discussed about wireless integration, the interface between hydrogel and dry electronics, automatic data analysis

Absolute timing of the Crab pulsar with the INTEGRAL/SPI telescope

open access: yes, 2009
We have investigated the pulse shape evolution of the Crab pulsar emission in the hard X-ray domain of the electromagnetic spectrum. In particular, we have studied the alignment of the Crab pulsar phase profiles measured in the hard X-rays and in other ...

A spatially resolved plerionic X-ray nebula around PSR B0540-69 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
We present a high resolution Chandra X-ray observation of PSR B0540-69, the Crab-like 50 msec pulsar in the Large Magellanic Cloud. We use phase-resolved imaging to decompose the extended X-ray emission, as expected of a synchrotron nebula, from the ...

A Female‐Locust‐Inspired Hybrid Soft‐Stiff Robotic Digger: Mimetics and Implications for Digging Efficiency

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Female desert locusts dig underground to lay their eggs. They displace soil, rather than removing it, to create a tunnel. We analyze burrowing dynamics and 3D kinematics and design a locust‐inspired hybrid soft–stiff robot that reproduces this mechanism. The results show the natural strategy minimizes energy, whereas alternative patterns raise costs up

Noninsect Arthropods in Popular Music

open access: yesInsects, 2011
The occurrence of noninsect arthropods in popular music was examined in order to explore human attitudes toward these species, especially as compared to insects.

Timing accuracy of the Swift X-Ray Telescope in WT mode

open access: yes, 2012
The X-Ray Telescope (XRT) on board Swift was mainly designed to provide detailed position, timing and spectroscopic information on Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) afterglows.

A Model of the Spectral Evolution of Pulsar Wind Nebulae

open access: yes, 2010
Recent observations suggest that many old pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) are bright TeV gamma-ray sources without a strong X-ray counterpart. In this paper, we study the spectral evolution of PWNe taking into account the energy which was injected when they ...

Thermal Stabilization of Chitosan Yarn for Carbon Fiber Production

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This study explores chitosan, a biopolymer derived from chitin, as a renewable precursor for carbon fiber production. The authors demonstrate that chitosan fibers can be successfully stabilized under controlled thermal conditions in air and nitrogen.

A study of the crab pot as a fishing gear [PDF]

open access: yes, 1942
The crab pot as a fishing gear was introduced in Maryland waters, following some years of greatly expanded use in Virginia, during the 1939 season, and was widely used during 1940.

Multi‐method analysis for the three‐dimensional reconstruction of muscle fascicles from DiceCT datasets

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Muscle architecture is a major determinant of muscle performance and, in mammalian lineages, has been correlated with both feeding ecology and locomotor behaviors. Over the past decade, contrast‐enhanced micro‐CT (DiceCT) has emerged as an alternative to traditional dissection‐based measurement.
