Advancing Solar Modulation Ability of Near Infrared Thermochromic Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Smart Window Films Using a Waveplate

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents the use of a waveplate in thermochromic materials for smart windows. The waveplate enables the optical material to transition from a narrow band reflection to broad band ambidextrous reflection upon heating, resulting in a solar transmission modulation of 5.2% which is four times greater than typical thermochromic cholesteric liquid ...

Fish carcass deposition to suppress invasive lake trout through hypoxia causes limited, non‐target effects on benthic invertebrates in Yellowstone Lake

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 2, Issue 6, Page 470-483, December 2022., 2022
In Yellowstone Lake, Wyoming, lake trout carcasses are used to suppress invasive lake trout embryos in an effort to conserve native Yellowstone cutthroat trout. Using a field experiment, we determined that carcass treatment had limited, non‐target effects on benthic invertebrates.

Organic Transistor‐Based Biosensors for Viral RNA Detection and Variant Monitoring: From SARS‐CoV‐2 to Effective Management of Future Pandemics

Advanced Sensor Research, EarlyView.
A novel approach for direct sensing of viral RNA is proposed, allowing PCR‐free detection of viral RNA from genomic material, and variants screening by discrimination of polymorphic amplicons. The device is a cost‐effective, user‐friendly platform suitable for both mass screening kits and as a laboratory tool for an optimized management of resources ...

The restoration potential of offshore mussel farming on degraded seabed habitat

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 2, Issue 6, Page 437-449, December 2022., 2022
Due to the artificial structures that accumulate mussels and exclude destructive fishing practices, the seabed could be restored by the installation of mussel farming structure. After four years, there was a significantly greater abundance of mobile taxa compared to the Controls that remained open to trawling. Commercial European lobster and brown crab
