Limits to diffusive O2 transport: flow, form, and function in nudibranch egg masses from temperate and polar regions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Many aquatic animals enclose embryos in gelatinous masses, and these embryos rely on diffusion to supply oxygen. Mass structure plays an important role in limiting or facilitating O2 supply, but external factors such as temperature and photosynthesis can

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Electronic waste has emerged as a major environmental challenge, driven by the massive consumption and a limited lifetime of modern electronic devices, stimulating the development of sustainable electronics. Here, an all‐biomaterial gelatin‐choline‐citric acid ([Ch][CA]) ionogel is developed as an active binder to realize self‐sintered ...

The minimal seed of turbulent transition in the boundary layer [PDF]
, 2011 This paper describes a scenario of transition from laminar to turbulent flow in a spatially developing boundary layer over a flat plate. The base flow is the Blasius non-parallel flow solution; it is perturbed by optimal disturbances yielding the largest

Origins of abnormal behaviors of gelatinous layer in tension wood fiber - A micromechanical approach
, 2009 International audienceThe mechanism responsible for unusual mechanical properties of tension wood gelatinous fiber (G-fiber) was investigated. We discussed origins of high tensile growth stress, high drying shrinkage, and rapid increase of Young's ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Controlling counterion exchange rate during aqueous phase separation enables the formation of skin‐free, homogeneously porous polyelectrolyte complex hydrogels by suppressing kinetically trapped skin layers and macrovoids. The resulting hydrogel networks exhibit exceptional toughness (∼15 MJ·m−3) and enable 3D (bio)printing and post‐functionalization ...

MICRODISTRIBUTION OF XYLOGLUCAN IN DIFFERENTIATING POPLAR CELLS
BioResources, 2010 Recent studies on the ultrastructure and composition of the gelatinous layer (g-layer) in poplar have reported findings of xyloglucan. Using correlated fluorescence, scanning- and transmission electron micros-copy, we found evidence for xyloglucan ...
