Sex‐dependent effects of endocannabinoid modulation of conditioned fear extinction in rats

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, 2020
Women are twice as likely as men to develop post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) making the search for biological mechanisms underlying these gender disparities especially crucial.

Material Composition Gradient Controls the Autonomous Opening of Banksia Seed Pods in Fire‐Prone Habitats

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The seed pod valves of Australian Banksia attenuata plants are not simply bi‐layers which bend when dry. These experiments and models reveal complex mechanics, which allow seed release only after several steps of seed pod opening. Stiffness gradients prevent delamination of the valves during loading, and a shape‐memory function protects the seeds ...

Stochastic effects on biodiversity in cyclic coevolutionary dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Finite-size fluctuations arising in the dynamics of competing populations may have dramatic influence on their fate. As an example, in this article, we investigate a model of three species which dominate each other in a cyclic manner.

Calculated absorption and scattering properties of gold nanoparticles of different size, shape, and composition: applications in biological imaging and biomedicine.

open access: yesJournal of Physical Chemistry B, 2006
The selection of nanoparticles for achieving efficient contrast for biological and cell imaging applications, as well as for photothermal therapeutic applications, is based on the optical properties of the nanoparticles.

Vivid Structural Coloration in Transparent MXene‐Cellulose Nanocrystals Composite Films

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Vivid structural coloration in reflectance and high transparency in transmittance modes are observed in biopolymer‐layered composite films. The ultrathin multilayered structures have unique optical appearance, near‐infrared bandgap, and strong optical reflection caused by alternating MXene and cellulose nanocrystals layers with high refractive index ...

Disproportionate extinction of South American mammals drove the asymmetry of the Great American Biotic Interchange

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020
Significance The biological interchange between North and South America associated with the formation of the Isthmus of Panama is key to defining current gradients of species diversity. A major gap in our understanding of the interchange is its asymmetry,

Near‐Infrared Circularly Polarized Electroluminescence with Switchable Handedness in Organic LEDs

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The first fully‐organic circularly polarized near‐infrared OLED, using a co‐assembled active layer of ITIC and a chiral inducer, exhibits dissymmetry values up to 0.074 and 1.65 Wsr−1m−2 radiance. The circular polarization sign can be switched by manipulating the position of the recombination zone, resulting in enhanced device performance and stability.

Impulsive Perturbations of a Three-Species Food Chain System with the Beddington-DeAngelis Functional Response

open access: yesDiscrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2012
The dynamics of an impulsively controlled three-species food chain system with the Beddington-DeAngelis functional response are investigated using the Floquet theory and a comparison method.
