A parental care-mating dilemma? Potential risks for offspring in the Pholcid spider when egg-carrying females accept mating [PDF]
, 2017 Many species face a trade-off between additional mating opportunities and the offspring benefits (viability, quality) provided by parental care.

Camel herd health and productivity in Eastern Ethiopia selected semi-nomadic households
Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 2000 This study was conducted on camels kept under pastoral management conditions from October 1997 to September 1998. Trypanosomosis was one of the most important diseases identified with a maximum prevalence of 20.6% and minimum of 5.4% for the sampled ...

Experimental Characterization of Mycelium‐Based Composites Under Multiple Loading Conditions
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This study examines the mechanical response of mycelium‐based composites under compression, shear, and tension using mechanical testing and imaging methods. The comparison between unpressed and hot‐pressed specimens shows that hot pressing is associated with higher compression and shear stiffnesses.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This work shows that the mechanical performance of multimaterial digital light processing (DLP) printed thermoset composites is governed by resin compatibility and interfacial design rather than spatial patterning alone. Brittle and ductile resin combinations produced premature interfacial failure, while graded interfaces and mechanically compatible ...

, 1999 Background: In Paramecium primaurelia, an exconjugant cell can produce two Lines with different mating capacities. Mating type II cells can form a higher food vacuole number and digest the nutrient taken up in a shorter time; thus, mating type II cells ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This article presents an experimental and numerical modal investigation of composite sandwich structures using surfboards as model systems. By comparing different core materials and reinforcement strategies, the study demonstrates how local stiffeners influence vibrational response and introduce characteristic modal features, highlighting modal ...
