Electroactive Liquid Crystal Elastomers as Soft Actuators
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Electroactive liquid crystal elastomers (eLCEs) can be actuated via electromechanical, electrochemical, or electrothermal effects. a) Electromechanical effects include Maxwell stress, electrostriction, and the electroclinic effect. b) Electrochemical effects arise from electrode redox reactions.

Comparative morphological and molecular studies on Myxobolus spp. infecting chub from the River Danube, Hungary, and description of Myxobolus muellericus sp. n. [PDF]
, 2006 During a survey on fishes from the River Danube, the occurrence of 8 Myxobolus species (Myxozoa: Myxobolidae) was registered in chub Leuciscus cephalus L. Most species had a specific location within the fish host. M. cycloides was found in the wall of

Magnetic Bioprinting and Actuation of Stretchable Muscle Tissue
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Human and murine myoblasts labeled with iron oxide nanoparticles are magnetically bioprinted into wrench‐shaped tissues, which are then anchored between two magnetic needles. Mechanical stretching of these tissues enhances both their maturation and functional performance. Abstract Engineering tissues with precise, long‐lasting shapes and the capability

Investment prospects in inland capture fisheries with special reference to small reservoirs: the exclusive fishing right licence model [PDF]
, 1987 The paper discusses simple methods of estimating fish yield from small reservoirs and establishes 2 indices of fish yield based on: 1) the relationship between the catch per boat in artisanal commercial fish landings and the catch per unit effort in ...

On convergence of generalized continued fractions and Ramanujan's conjecture [PDF]
, 2004 We consider continued fractions \frac{-a_1}{1-\frac{a_2}{1-\frac{a_3}{1-...}}} \label{fr} with real coefficients $a_i$ converging to a limit $a$. S.Ramanujan had stated the theorem (see [ABJL], p.38) saying that if $a\neq\frac14$, then the fraction ...

Identification of PKN2 and MOB4 as Coordinators of Collective Cell Migration
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Through a genetic screen, PKN2 and MOB4 are identified as two proteins regulating the healing of an epithelial model wound. PKN2 promotes collective cell migration by maintaining the cohesion of cell monolayers from their lateral junctions, whereas MOB4 restrains collective cell migration and provides a lamellipodial cue for front‐rear polarity in ...

Unveiling Dipolar Interaction‐Driven Magnetic Field Inhomogeneities in T2 MRI Contrast Agents
Advanced Science, EarlyView.In this study, chemically designed nanoscale‐distance‐tuned based on silica‐coated iron oxide nanoparticles are used to investigate how dipolar interactions affect magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast. By varying shell thickness, researchers modulated dipolar interactions and observed an exponential increase in transverse relaxivity (r2) that ...

Biological characteristics of the catch from the 1985-86 Pacific herring, Clupea harengus pallasi, roe fishery in California [PDF]
, 1986 In Tomales Bay, 4-, 5-, and 6-yr-old herring, Clupea harengus pallasi, composed 70% by number of the 1985-86 season's catch. In San Francisco Bay, 2-, 3-, and 4-yr-old herring composed 78% by number of the roundhaul catch, and 4- and 5-yr-old herring ...
