Meta-analysis reveals that pollinator functional diversity and abundance enhance crop pollination and yield [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
How insects promote crop pollination remains poorly understood in terms of the contribution of functional trait differences between species. We used meta-analyses to test for correlations between community abundance, species richness and functional trait

NNMT Orchestrates Metabolic‐Epigenetic Reprogramming to Drive Macrophage‐Myofibroblast Transition in Hypertrophic Scarring

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
In macrophage‐myofibroblast transition, upregulated NNMT depletes S‐Adenosylmethionine‌ (SAM) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide(NAD+), thereby triggering epigenetic reprogramming via Histone H3 Lysine 27 acetylation (H3K27ac) accumulation at the promoter region of master transcription factor Prrx1.

Evenness and hairiness measurement of chenille yarn based on an improved pixel difference convolution for the pixel difference network

open access: yesJournal of Engineered Fibers and Fabrics
To address the challenge of quality measurement in fancy yarns, an improved Pixel Difference Convolution (PDC) for the Pixel Difference Network (PiDiNet) is proposed for measuring the evenness and hairiness of chenille yarn. A computer vision-based image

Population biology of Carlina vulgaris and Hypochoeris radicata in fragmented European grasslands [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The ongoing anthropogenic impact on our landscape, e.g. by intensification of agricultural use and abandonment of extensively used farmland, strongly affects the persistence of many plant and animal species and populations.

A Degradable Bioinspired Flier with Aerogel‐Based Colorimetric Sensors for Environmental Monitoring

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Biodegradable fliers are developed inspired by Tipuana tipu samaras, integrating cellulose nanocrystal aerogel (CNCa) sensors loaded with natural dyes for pH and ammonia detection. The lightweight, degradable fliers mimic natural morphology and aerodynamics, offering an eco‐friendly, scalable solution for in situ environmental monitoring after passive ...

Effects of bleaching and dyeing on the quality of alpaca tops and yarns

open access: yes, 2004
This paper reports the effects of bleaching of alpaca tops and dyeing of bleached alpaca tops/yarns on the quality of tops and yarns. A dark brown alpaca top was bleached with hydrogen peroxide. Two bleaching methods were tried for effectiveness of color

Biodegradable Carbonate Nanogels Loaded with Anti MFAP‐5 siRNA for Anti‐stromal Therapy of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Polycarbonate nanogels enable lipid‐free delivery of anti‐MFAP‐5 siRNA into cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAF) in hepatocellular carcinoma. In a cirrhotic murine model, this approach silences MFAP‐5, reduces fibroblast activation, and suppresses tumor growth by inhibiting NOTCH/Hes1‐driven angiogenesis. CAF‐targeted MFAP‐5 RNAi and conserved signaling

A Comparative Investigation of Cotton Yarn Properties with Various Twist Factors During Yarn-Steaming Treatment

open access: yesFibers
In this investigation, C20S (29.5 tex) and C30S (19.7 tex) ring-spun cotton yarns with different twist factors were produced using the same technological parameters for the yarn steaming process.
