Engineering Flexible Nanofibrous Hydroxyapatite Scaffolds With Tunable Degradation and Mechanical Properties for Bone Regeneration

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Conventional hydroxyapatite ceramics are brittle and poorly resorbable, limiting their use in bone repair. To overcome these limitations, flexible scaffolds are fabricated using ceramic nanofibers as structural building blocks. Adjusting nanofiber characteristics allows modulating the mechanical properties and degradation, providing a versatile ...

Hierarchically Engineered Nanocellulose‐Halloysite Composite Foams for Integrated Thermal Insulation and Intrinsic Fire Resistance

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Hierarchically engineered cellulose‐based nanocomposite foams integrate thermal insulation, mechanical robustness, hydrophobicity, and intrinsic flame retardancy. A multiscale hybrid network enables efficient heat and mass transport suppression, promoting char formation and self‐extinguishing behavior without toxic additives.

Programmable Porosity in Polymers via Microfluidic Templating and 3D Printing

open access: yesSmall Methods, EarlyView.
Fluid templating is a powerful way to produce porous polymers. Microfluidic technologies enable fine control over the dimension and packing of bubbles and droplets. Combined with additive manufacturing, microfluidic templating enables the creation of polymeric functionally graded porous materials in which both porosity and three‐dimensional geometry ...

Foam-mat Drying of Papaya (Carica Papaya L.) using Glycerol monostearate as Foaming Agent [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The study was carried out to production of papaya powder using glycerol mono-stearate as foaming agent under foam-mat drying technique. Foaming, drying, reconstitution, quality and sensory attributes of dried papaya powder were investigated.

Threat level and sound production mode modulate acoustic warnings and defensive biting in snakes

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Accurately assessing predation risk is important because it enables prey to match their defensive behaviours to the level of threat and avoid unnecessary investment in costly responses.

Exploring the potential of using male‐killing endosymbionts to induce female‐biased insect populations for enhanced biomass production

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Overview of the mindset and long‐term goals with the approach suggested in this study. We provide a first proof of concept that male‐killing endosymbionts can be used to establish female biased populations with higher production efficiency than populations with a 50/50 sex ratio. This biological tool can have marked positive impact on future commercial

Divergence Linked to Possible Ecological Speciation in Blind Mole Rats: Integration of Thermal Biology and Bite Force in the Upper Galilee Blind Mole Rat (Nannospalax galili)

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Basalt‐dwelling blind mole rats maintain lower body temperatures, show greater post‐digging thermal increases, and dig more efficiently than those from rendzina soils. Although metabolic rates and bite force did not differ between populations, these thermal and physiological shifts align with the greater mechanical resistance and seasonal hypoxia of ...

Microbiome Dynamics During Translocation of the Critically Endangered Frog Craugastor ranoides

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
A female Craugastor ranoides fitted with an LB‐2X radio transmitter using a silicone waist‐belt harness for post‐translocation monitoring. ABSTRACT Amphibian populations are declining, and species are going extinct due to habitat loss, climate change, and emerging infectious disease, prompting the increasing use of translocations as a conservation tool.
