Optimization of moisture content and application rate of hay preservative during high‐moisture alfalfa hay baling in northwestern China

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Leaf shatter during low‐moisture baling and mold proliferation under high‐moisture conditions pose major challenges in alfalfa hay production. A proprietary propionic acid‐based hay preservative product, LZP, effectively inhibits microbial reproduction in high‐moisture alfalfa bales; however, its optimal moisture thresholds and ...

The Scent of Emotion: A Pilot Study on Olfactory Perception Beyond Visual Cues

Applied Sciences
From an evolutionary perspective, smell and taste are the oldest human senses. Despite this, other than chemical senses—particularly vision—are commonly regarded as the most powerful tools for interacting with our environment. Within such a frame, it has

Subconscious responses to fear-appeal health warnings: An exploratory study of cigarette packaging

South African Journal of Economic and Management Sciences, 2017
Background: Tobacco smoking has serious health and financial implications for both smokers and non-smokers. A wide range of measures have been used over many years to combat this scourge. One of these measures is social marketing communication campaigns.

Air Pollution Quinones Impair Intestinal Barrier Integrity and Endoplasmic Reticulum in Differentiated Caco‐2 Cells

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Particulate matter (PM) is a major global health threat, linked to millions of deaths annually. Beyond inhalation, PM components reach the gastrointestinal tract through the mucociliary escalator or contaminated food and water. Among PM's organic fraction, redox‐active quinones such as 1,2‐naphthoquinone (NQ) and 9,10‐phenanthrenequinone (PQ ...

Sustainable Consumption and the “Last‐Mile” Problem: Cultural and Neural Mechanisms of Near‐Expiration Date Bias in Meat Purchases

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food waste poses escalating environmental costs and economic losses, with near‐expiration‐date bias limiting the effectiveness of discount‐based waste‐reduction initiatives. This study examines how expiration‐date cues, interacting with consumer identity, shape responses to discounted meat products through emotional and neural mechanisms in ...

Direct Triboelectric Programming of a Ferroelectric Synaptic Transistor for Neuromorphic Tactile Perception

Small, EarlyView.
Triboelectric signals directly program a ferroelectric synaptic transistor, enabling cumulative polarization‐controlled conductance modulation and neuromorphic tactile perception based on force‐ and frequency‐dependent mechanical stimuli. ABSTRACT Triboelectric nanogenerators provide a direct electrical interface to mechanical stimuli, yet most ...

Dual‐Functionality, Bio‐Friendly Artificial Muscles for Actuation and Motion Sensing in Smart Wearable Systems

Small, EarlyView.
This work presents a biofriendly carbon nanotube yarn artificial muscle operating either as an in‐air unipolar actuator or as a self‐powered ionotronic strain sensor. Using a non‐volatile eutectogel‐derived electrolyte, the system achieves up to 2.9% contraction and 0.5 mV/% strain sensing sensitivity.
