Transmembrane Activation of Catalysis and Protein Refolding in Synthetic Cells by Enzymes and Nanozymes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Synthetic cells are engineered herein to respond to an external chemical messenger by the activation of intracellular catalysis. The chemical messenger molecules are catalytically generated by an extracellular enzyme or a mineral surface, whereas the intracellular catalysis emerges via direct enzyme activation or via protein refolding.

Enhancing security of land tenure for IDPs

Forced Migration Review, 2014
"The case of Maslakh in western Afghanistan is an example of translating Afghanistan’s new IDP Policy into reality. If successful the project will ensure security of land tenure for IDPs in urban settings and set a precedent for local integration of IDPs

Challenges of Soft Tissue Integration Around Dental Implants and Strategies Based on Material Surface Modification

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Peri‐implant soft tissue integration (STI), weaker than natural teeth, raises peri‐implant disease risk. Gingival‐region material surface properties critically modulate soft‐tissue responses, driving surface modifications to enhance STI. This review provides an in‐depth analysis of the challenges of STI around dental implants, comprehensively reviews ...

The recent decline of Montastraea annularis (complex) coral populations in western Curaçao: a cause for concern?

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2006
Shallow leeward reefs off the western end of Curaçao are dominated by extensive populations of M. annularis (complex). These species are larger in size (mean= 66 cm diameter) than all other species, with few small colonies (10 cm observed within ...

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).

Transparent, Sprayable Plastic Films for Luminescent Down‐Shifted‐Assisted Plant Growth

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 6, March 18, 2025.
Spreading the light: A modular approach to down‐shifting europium‐containing polyoxotitanium luminescent cages is developed, allowing their incorporation into sprayable plastic coatings on agricultural greenhouses for accelerated plant growth. Abstract The world's steadily growing population and global heating due to climate change are a threat to food

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

Self‐Aligned Waveguide Array Integrated with Flat Microlenses for Environment‐Adaptive and High‐Resolution Compound Eye Vision

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
For an amphibious high‐resolution compound eye vision system, environment‐adaptive self‐aligned waveguides are integrated with high‐density flat microlenses. Fabrication, optical performance, and environmental adaptability are investigated, demonstrating stable focusing, efficient light collection, and enhanced spatial resolution.

Variation and development of the turtle chondrocranium, with a description of the common musk turtle (Sternotherus odoratus, Kinosternidae, Cryptodira, Testudines)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Based on histological cross‐sections, the chondrocranium of the common musk turtle (Sternotherus odoratus) was reconstructed, described, and compared with other turtles. It differs from that of other turtle chondrocrania by possessing elongated, slightly dorsally orientated nasal capsules with three dorsolateral foramina, which might be ...

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.
