Cognitive studies on spiders have largely ignored mygalomorphs, such as tarantulas, and almost completely lack field‐based observations. We present nine observations of arboreal and fossorial New World tarantulas, including a blind cave‐dwelling species, providing evidence for possible experience‐based navigation and spatial learning during foraging ...

Abstract This paper investigated the effect of temperature and time on the dyeing of polyester and cellulose diacetate and demonstrated the benefits of supercritical carbon dioxide (SC‐CO2) dyeing. It was evident that the SC‐CO2 medium enabled effective coloration of polyester at lower temperatures, ca.

Studies on arsenical creosote as a wood preservative for marine structures. Part 2. Observation on leaching, corrosion and resistance to borer attack [PDF]
A detailed study on arsenical creosote with reference to leaching, corrosion and anti-borer properties was carried out. Results showed that aging had very little effect on the preservative which suggested better fixation of the preservative into the wood.

Using a 4‐year drought experiment in the hot deserts of the US, we found that herbaceous plant communities were more sensitive to seasonal precipitation than to the cumulative effects of drought. Abstract The hot deserts of the southwestern United States are experiencing increased frequency, severity, and duration of drought due to anthropogenic ...
