EVOLUTION OF DAIRY GRAZING IN THE 1990'S [PDF]
A literature review of selected items from 1985 to 2002 shows the evolution of management intensive grazing (MIG) with emphasis primarily on Michigan, and secondarily on the Great Lakes Region. There are sections on 1) Using Pasture, 2) The Technology of

Aboveground Net Primary Productivity in Grazed and Ungrazed pastures: Grazing Optimisation Hypothesis or Local Extinction of Vegetation Species [PDF]
, 2009 The controversy that has surrounded herbivory studies in the last few decades prompted our investigation to establish the extent to which herbivore optimisation hypothesis or compensatory growth evidence is real.

Harnessing Phase Separation for the Development of High‐Performance Hydrogels
Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Hydrogels are indispensable for the development of next‐generation bioelectronics, soft robotics, and biomedical devices, where their mechanical properties determine performance and reliability. Among strategies to enhance hydrogel mechanics, phase separation enables controlled heterogeneity resulting in gel networks that are reinforced by ...

Non‐Equilibrium Synthesis of Whitlockite Assisted by Localized H2O Vapor Pressure
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A carbon substrate acts as a microheater during intense pulsed light irradiation, enabling rapid heating and cooling for whitlockite formation. In contrast to conventional white ceramic synthesis with weak photothermal response, this platform concentrates thermal energy locally and promotes phase‐selective crystallization under ultrafast ...
