Additive Manufacturing of Continuous Fibre Reinforced Composites: Process, Characterisation, Modelling, and Sustainability

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Additive manufacturing provides precise control over the placement of continuous fibres within polymer matrices, enabling customised mechanical performance in composite components. This article explores processing strategies, mechanical testing, and modelling approaches for additive manufactured continuous fibre‐reinforced composites.

Landscape and grazing management affect dung beetle communities in California

open access: yesBasic and Applied Ecology
Agroecosystem management can have large impacts on arthropod communities, with downstream consequences for ecosystem function. In grazed agroecosystems, dung beetle nesting and consumption activities contribute to critical ecosystem services such as ...

Success or failure: the role of ecological restoration on the recovery of dung beetle diversity and function in a tropical rainforest

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2018
Recent studies have shown that ecological restoration hardly recovers diversity and ecosystem function of important bioindicator groups such as dung beetles, which have key functional roles in natural and managed ecosystems.

Taming the waterways: The Europeanization of Southern Québec's riverside landscapes during the 16th–18th centuries [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The arrival of Europeans in the New World effected the interaction of 2 temperate biogeographical eco-zones: the Palaearctic and Nearctic. Alfred Crosby has hypothesized that the success of the Europeans as imperialists was due, in part, to the ability ...

Innate olfactory preferences in dung beetles [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Biology, 2010
SUMMARYThe effects of insect larval diet on adult olfactory responses to host-plant or food volatiles are still debated. The induction of adult host preferences has been studied in insects with diverse ecologies, including parasitoids, flower-visitors and phytophagous species.

Parallel 3D Bioprinting on SLIPS‐Microarrays

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces the first truly parallel 3D bioprinting method, enabling both the simultaneous fabrication of hundreds of cell laden hydrogel 3D structures and their HTS in individual liquid compartments. By integrating Digital Light Processing (DLP) stereolithography with functional micropatterns, the platform decouples printing time from array ...

Dung beetle communities are jointly mediated by soil properties, herbivore dung types, and habitats in Serengeti savannah

open access: yesEcological Indicators
Dung beetles play essential roles in ecosystem functioning, by decomposing mammalian dungs, thereby facilitate nutrient cycling, seed dispersal, and parasite suppression.

Dispensing Volumetric Additive Manufacturing

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Dispensing volumetric additive manufacturing (DVAM) prints 3D structures inside a photocurable resin droplet suspended from the tip of a glass pipette, enabling sequential printing without resin vats or manual part removal. Real‐time droplet profiling and ray‐tracing‐based correction compensate for optical distortion at the curved resin‐air interface ...
