Computer numerical control knitting of high-resolution mosquito bite blocking textiles

open access: yesCommunications Engineering
Mosquitoes and other biting arthropods transmit diseases worldwide, causing over 700,000 deaths each year, and costing about 3 billion USD annually for Aedes species alone. Insect vectored diseases also pose a considerable threat to agricultural animals.

Automated identification of hedgerows and hedgerow gaps using deep learning

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Hedgerows are a diverse habitat and act as wildlife corridors for traversing the agricultural landscape, however they can become fragmented due to poor management, reducing their ecological connectivity. Here we present a novel deep learning framework to quantify hedgerows and hedgerow gaps across the East Riding of Yorkshire in the UK that has high ...

Elevating Configurations of Data and Emotion: Dynamics of Coproduction, Collaboration and Competition

open access: yesScience Education, EarlyView.

Surface Localized Coacervation Controlled by Bioactive Nanoarchitectonic Polyelectrolyte Multilayers

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Using enzymatically active nanoarchitectured polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs), localized liquid–liquid phase separation can be directed from a so‐modified surface. In the presence of urea, PEM‐containing urease layers generate a pH gradient near the surface resulting in the self‐coacervation of a model peptide‐based coacervator.
