A Rigid–Foldable Kirigami‐Inspired Metamorphic Mechanism With Programmable Motion Modes and Self‐Locking

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Geometric constraint reconfiguration enables a rigid–foldable kirigami‐inspired mechanism to switch between twisting, directional translation, and self‐locking states. By encoding multifunctionality directly into its architecture, the mechanism achieves multimodal motion and passive locking without reassembly, providing a compact platform for adaptive ...

Relação entre a patogenicidade de Schistosoma mansoni em camundongos e a susceptibilidade do molusco vetor: I. Infecciosidade das cercárias e carga de vermes Relationship between the pathogenicity of Schistosoma mansoni in mice and the susceptibility of the vector mollusc: I. Cercariae infectivity and worm burden

Revista de Saúde Pública, 1991
Foram pesquisadas as possíveis influências que os mecanismos imunes do molusco poderiam exercer no desenvolvimento dos esporocistos e no comportamento do verme adulto no hospedeiro vertebrado. Utilizaram-se duas linhagens de S.

Twisted MoS2 Bilayers as Functional Elements in Memtransistors: Hysteresis, Optical Signatures, and Photocurrent Kinetics

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Layered 2D materials are considered as promising for memristive applications due to their ultimate vertical scalability compared to conventional semiconductor films and pronounced hysteresis properties. Bias‐resolved Raman and Photoluminescence mapping is used to quantify strain from phonon shifts and carrier density from the exciton‐trion ...

Trypanosoma cruzi load in synanthropic rodents from rural areas in Chile

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Trypanosoma cruzi is the agent of Chagas disease, a major public health problem in Latin America. Many wild and domestic animals are naturally infected with T. cruzi; rodents are one of the groups which have been consistently detected infected

Silicon Nitride Resistive Memories

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Amorphous SiNx is an attractive resistance switching material for ReRAM applications due to its physicochemical properties, such as humidity resistance, low oxygen diffusivity, and is used as a metal diffusion blocker. By modifying the ratio between N and Si atoms, the microstructure of the SiNx is affected, rendering it possible to change the ...

Massive encapsulation of larval Anguillicoloides crassus in the intestinal wall of Japanese eels

Parasites & Vectors, 2009
Background Within the last 25 years, after the introduction of the swimbladder nematode Anguillicoloides crassus from East-Asia to Europe, a body of work has aggregated on the host parasite interactions in the acquired host Anguilla anguilla. Despite the

Design Principles of Electrocatalysts for Industrial‐Scale Water Electrolysis

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
This Review distills electrocatalyst design for industrial‐scale water electrolysis into integrated principles linking active‐site engineering, phase and lattice modulation, interfacial microenvironment regulation and mass‐transport control. By connecting catalyst families with HER/OER mechanisms and practical operating demands, it outlines pathways ...

Delaying the Inevitable? U.S. Screwworm Closures and Feeder Cattle Market Dynamics

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biosecurity trade restrictions are commonly framed as preventive measures, yet in many settings they function primarily as policies of delay: they impose immediate market costs while only postponing the arrival of biological risks. This paper evaluates that intertemporal tradeoff using the 2024–2025 US suspension of live cattle imports from ...

Comprehensive proteomic analysis of autophagosomes derived from Leishmania-infected macrophages.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Recently, autophagy has been implicated as a host defense mechanism against intracellular pathogens. On the other hand, certain intracellular pathogens such as Leishmania can manipulate the host's autophagy to promote their survival.

The coelurosaur theropods of the Romualdo formation, early Cretaceous (Aptian) of Brazil: Santanaraptor placidus meets Mirischia asymmetrica

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The upper carbonate concretion levels of the Romualdo Formation (Aptian, Brazil) have yielded several theropod dinosaur remains, including spinosaurids and the coelurosaurs Santanaraptor placidus and Mirischia asymmetrica, the phylogenetic affinities of which are controversial.
