Health, biodiversity, and natural resource use on the Amazon frontier: an ecosystem approach

open access: yesCadernos de Saúde Pública
This study aims to improve the health of rural Amazonian communities through the development and application of a participatory ecosystem approach to human health assessment. In the study area marked seasonal fluctuations dictate food availability, water

Dual‐Functional Ingestible Passive Capsules for High‐Throughput Intestinal Sampling with Sealed Containment and Targeted Drug Delivery

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
To address challenges in high‐throughput intestinal sampling with sealed containment and target drug delivery, we developed a dual‐functional ingestible passive capsule with a dual‐triggered control system based on pH‐response and mechanical actuation.

Landscape design: Integrating ecological, social, and economic considerations into conservation planning

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2016
Landscape design is a conservation planning process, described in the landscape ecology literature, proposed to rectify the knowledge and implementation gap in planning that have limited the effectiveness of many conservation planning efforts.

Degradable Magnetic Composites from Recycled NdFeB Magnets for Soft Actuation and Sensing

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents a degradable soft magnetic composite made from recycled NdFeB particles embedded in a gelatin‐based organogel. The material is processed into magnetic sensors and soft robotic components, which can later be dissolved in a green solvent to recover NdFeB magnetic particles.

Movement and habitat use of two aquatic turtles (\u3cem\u3eGraptemys geographic\u3c/em\u3e and \u3cem\u3eTrachemys scripta\u3c/em\u3e) in an urban landscape [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Our study focuses on the spatial ecology and seasonal habitat use of two aquatic turtles in order to understand the manner in which upland habitat use by humans shapes the aquatic activity, movement, and habitat selection of these species in an urban ...

Electronic Nose for Indoor Mold Detection and Identification

open access: yesAdvanced Sensor Research, EarlyView.
This study explores the potential of a SnO2 nanowire‐based chemiresistive electronic nose not only to detect but also to identify two common indoor mold species, Stachybotrys chartarum and Chaetomium globosum on two different growth substrates. In a laboratory setup, the electronic nose displays high classification performance using optimized linear ...

Solar‐Responsive Zr‐MOF/Ag4P2O7 Heterostructures for Sustainable Photocatalytic Degradation of Emerging Water Contaminants

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
A microwave‐assisted approach yields Zr‐MOF/Ag4P2O7 heterostructures with superior solar responsiveness and efficient charge‐carrier separation. The hybrid photocatalyst rapidly degrades dyes and fluoroquinolone antibiotics into less toxic species under visible‐light. Comprehensive optical, mechanistic, and phytotoxicity analyses reveal its robustness,
