Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This work shows the successful integration of intrinsic bistability into thermoresponsive soft microactuators, fabricated by two‐photon polymerization utilizing the (E)–(Z)‐isomerization of azobenzenes. The bistable behavior accounts for a reversible volume change of Azo_pNIPAM microactuators initiated by light irradiation, at constant ambient ...

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Female desert locusts dig underground to lay their eggs. They displace soil, rather than removing it, to create a tunnel. We analyze burrowing dynamics and 3D kinematics and design a locust‐inspired hybrid soft–stiff robot that reproduces this mechanism. The results show the natural strategy minimizes energy, whereas alternative patterns raise costs up

Effect of nanosilver particles on hatchability of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) egg and survival of the produced larvae [PDF]
, 2011 Effect of nanosilver particles was studied on the hatchability of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) egg and survival of the produced larvae at about 12ºC. In the first experiment the water-based nanosilver particles was used at concentrations of 0.5, 1,

Rangewide responses of Mimulus cardinalis to an extreme heat event
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Extreme events are an understudied aspect of ongoing anthropogenic climate change that could play a disproportionate role in the threat that rapid environmental shifts pose to natural populations. Methods We exposed plants originating from seeds that were harvested before (ancestors) and after (descendants) multiple extreme heat events

Variation of Egg Production and Hatchability
Poultry Science, 1953 Abstract IN PLANNING an experiment to study the effect of diet—or of any other influencing factor—on egg production and hatchability, it is desirable to have as much information as possible about the variation that may be encountered. If such information is not available when the experiment is planned, too few birds may be used and, as a result, it ...

Facilitators and barriers to neighborhood social integration
American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract Social isolation has reached concerning rates, particularly in the wake of the COVID‐19 pandemic. Social integration is critical to combatting social isolation and loneliness by promoting a sense of community and belonging. Yet, most existing research centers on fostering close personal relationships within family and friend networks.

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Direct preparation of coal–water slurry using coal chemical wastewater represents an economical and feasible approach for wastewater resource utilization. Unlike clean water, however, the complex organic components in wastewater may exert adverse effects on slurry properties.
