Sensory Biology of the Franciscana (Pontoporia blainvillei, Pontoporiidae, Cetartiodactyla): Ontogenetic Modifications of Vibrissae and Vibrissal Crypts

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The transition of cetaceans from a terrestrial to an aquatic environment involved a crucial sensory adaptation to environments with limited visibility. Vibrissae, important mechanoreceptors, undergo an ontogenetic transformation in odontocetes. This research describes the histomorphology of vibrissae and crypts at different developmental stages ...

Effect of bottom front roller eccentricity on yarn unevenness (U%), mass variation (CV%), and hairiness in PV 30 ring spinning

open access: yesOPSI
This study demonstrates that bottom front roller eccentricity in ring spinning negatively affects PV 30 yarn quality by increasing yarn unevenness (U%) and mass variation (CV%).

Hairiness properties of polyester-cotton blended yarns

open access: yes, 2004
30-34EIB-MTH hairiness tester, Shirley hairiness tester, Laserspot and Uster Tester 3 have been used to observe the relationship between hairiness results obtained when different measuring principles on these instruments are used.

Female‐Biased Sexual Size Dimorphism and Its Potential Causes in Hairy‐Winged Bats

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Based on the integration of molecular genetics, traditional and geometric morphology, and acoustic characteristics of hairy‐winged bats (a species that was historically misclassified into two species due to extreme craniodental divergence between the sexes) in multiple regions of China, we quantified the sexual size dimorphism (SSD) between males and ...

Reducing microfiber release from polyester fabrics through optimization of spinning process parameters

open access: yesFashion and Textiles
This study investigates the influence of spinning process parameters on microfiber release from polyester fabrics, identifying yarn hairiness as the dominant controlling factor. Experimental results demonstrate an extremely high correlation (R 2 = 0.997)

Preparation and Evaluation of Rabbit Hair Fibers/Cotton Blended Yarns with Different Blend Ratios and Spinning Methods

open access: yesJournal of Natural Fibers
A variety of rabbit hair/cotton blended yarns were developed using ring spinning, core-spun spinning (based on the roving process), and Siro spinning to improve the spinnability of rabbit hair fibers.

An investigation of the correlation between different yarn hairiness parameters

open access: yes, 2020
In this paper, the correlation between the yam hairiness results of the Uster Tester 4 and Zweigle G 566 testers are determined to evaluate any linear relation between them. Therefore, it was aimed to estimate the hairiness level of the same yam at other

The Australian Hydromyine Rodents—Their Interspecific Diversity and Reproductive Biology: A Review

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
There are two major groups, the Rattus species and the Hydromyini, in Australia. Clearly, the hydromyine rodents, unlike the Rattus genus, exhibit a diverse array of reproductive biological traits in both males and females, the full evolutionary significance of which has yet to be ascertained.

Size, Spines, and Nests: What Drives Variation in Death‐Feigning Behavior in Fungus‐Farming Ants?

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We investigated death‐feigning (DF; thanatosis) in fungus‐farming ants, testing how stimulus intensity, morphology, and nest traits shape its occurrence and duration using generalized linear mixed models. Stronger stimuli increased both likelihood and duration, but most variation was structured across species, colonies, and individuals.

Study on the Influence of Carding Process Parameters on Yarn Quality Based on Central Composite Design

open access: yesJournal of Natural Fibers
Carding affects fiber opening, transfer, and yarn formation, but yarn quality indicators may respond differently when carding settings change together with yarn linear density.
