Stress Response of Aspergillus niger Spores to Copper Surfaces and the Implications for Antifungal Surface Functionalization

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study investigates the antifungal efficacy of ultrashort pulsed laser‐induced periodic surface structures (USP‐DLIP) on copper, brass, and steel surfaces. Using Aspergillus niger as a model, the research highlights a 99% reduction in spore viability on 9 µm structured copper surfaces due to enhanced copper ion release. Scanning electron microscopy

Oral Microalgae‐Based Biosystem to Enhance Irreversible Electroporation Immunotherapy in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents an innovative oral microalgae‐based biosystem to inhibit tumor growth, reduce PD‐1 expression, and activate immune responses of hepatocellular carcinoma. When combined with enhanced irreversible electroporation treatment, it demonstrates a synergistic effect that effectively reduces the tumor burden and enhances the tumor immune ...

Self‐Powered Frequency‐Selective Acoustic Sensor Based on Bound States in the Continuum

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This innovative two‐state acoustic system leverages Friedrich–Wintgen bound states in the continuum to enhance local sound energy up to 1849 times the incident intensity, addressing the challenge of low energy density in acoustic energy harvesting. Its high quality factor and precise frequency selectivity demonstrate considerable potential to advance ...

Habitat persistence, habitat availability and the evolution of dispersal [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1999
Many organisms live in ephemeral habitats, making dispersal a vital element of life history. Here, we investigate how dispersal rate evolves in response to habitat persistence, mean habitat availability and landscape pattern. We show that dispersal rate is generally lowered by reduced habitat availability and by longer habitat persistence. However, for

Inferring habitat quality and habitat selection using static site occupancy models [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
When evaluating the ecological value of land use within a landscape, investigators typically rely on measures of habitat selection and habitat quality. Traditional measures of habitat selection and habitat quality require data from resource intensive study designs (e.g., telemetry or mark-recapture).

Enhancing Osteogenesis through Bio‐Inspired Recombinant Coral Protein Galaxin by Targeting Mitochondrial Metabolism and ATP Production

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study highlights the potential of recombinant galaxin (a coral protein) as a novel and effective biomaterial for bone regeneration. It binds to ATP synthase subunit β (ATP5B) in mouse pre‐osteoblasts, thereby causing increased ATP production and mitochondrial activity.

Estimation of species relative abundances and habitat preferences using opportunistic data [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
We develop a new statistical procedure to monitor, with opportunist data, relative species abundances and their respective preferences for dierent habitat types. Following Giraud et al. (2015), we combine the opportunistic data with some standardized data in order to correct the bias inherent to the opportunistic data collection. Our main contributions

Revealing the Origin and Nature of the Buried Metal‐Substrate Interface Layer in Ta/Sapphire Superconducting Films

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The origin and nature of metal‐substrate interface layer in Ta/sapphire‐based superconducting films is investigated using synchrotron X‐ray reflectivity and scanning transmission electron microscopy. An intermixing layer, ≈0.65 nm thick containing Al, O, and Ta atoms, is identified at the interface.

A hybrid finite element method for moving-habitat models in two spatial dimensions [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Moving-habitat models track the density of a population whose suitable habitat shifts as a consequence of climate change. Whereas most previous studies in this area consider 1-dimensional space, we derive and study a spatially 2-dimensional moving-habitat model via reaction-diffusion equations. The population inhabits the whole space.

The Semi‐Natural Climate Chambers across Latitudes: A Broadly Applicable Husbandry and Experimental System for Terrestrial Ectotherms under Climate Change

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Assessing species' vulnerabilities across geographical gradients is essential for biodiversity conservation under climate change. To address this challenge, the semi‐natural climate chamber across latitudes (SCCAL) is developed, a validated system capable of simulating thermal environments for ecological experiments without reliance on water or ...
