Progress of MXenes‐based responsive materials for soft sensors and actuators

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
MXene, a promising 2D material, excels at mimicking human sensing and feedback system, making it ideal for intelligent robots. This review first covers its structure, properties, and synthesis. It then summarizes recent MXene‐based sensors and actuator.

Advanced Characterization and Rejuvenation of End‐Of‐Life Lithium‐Ion Anodes: Toward the Development of a Green Upcycling Route

Small, EarlyView.
Green solvents (DI water or ascorbic acid) enable the regeneration of end‐of‐vehicle‐life battery anodes without delamination and re‐manufacture. Multimodal characterizations reveal several graphite microstructures and crystallography, and restored cycling performance.

Self-adaptive dragonfly based optimal thresholding for multilevel segmentation of digital images

Journal of King Saud University: Computer and Information Sciences, 2018
Dragonfly optimization (DFO) is a population based meta-heuristic optimization algorithm that simulates the static and dynamic swarming behaviors of dragonflies.

AML‐Net: Attention‐based multi‐scale lightweight model for brain tumour segmentation in internet of medical things

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Brain tumour segmentation employing MRI images is important for disease diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment planning. Till now, many encoder‐decoder architectures have been developed for this purpose, with U‐Net being the most extensively utilised. However, these architectures require a lot of parameters to train and have a semantic gap. Some

Modified dragonfly algorithm based multilevel thresholding method for color images segmentation

Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2019
Accurate image segmentation is the preprocessing step of image processing. Multi-level threshold segmentation has important research value in image segmentation, which can effectively solve the problem of region analysis of complex images, but the ...

Visual Cues Can Alter the Behavioural Responses of Dragonfly Larvae to Chemical Alarm Cues

Ethology, EarlyView.
Using a controlled experimental approach, we examined how chemical and visual cues influence antipredator behaviour in Aeshna cyanea larvae and tested whether risk‐related information can be socially transmitted among nearby conspecifics. Our results show that dragonfly larvae do not copy the antipredator responses of others, but visual cues alter how ...

Social media highlights the overlooked impact of cats on arthropods

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
The impact of domestic cats on vertebrate biodiversity is unequivocal; however, we still know little about their effects on arthropods. By analysing over 17,000 photos and videos from social media platforms (iStock and TikTok), we documented 550 predation events of cats on arthropods.

Scaling of internal joint distance in the elbow of small‐ to medium‐sized mammals: Implications for range of motion analyses

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We investigated the internal joint distances (IJDs) of the humero‐ulnar and humero‐radial joint, within a sample of 15 small‐ to medium‐sized mammals and report isometric results. We also found that joint poses had no effect on IJDs and that IJDs scale isometrically within small species.
