Automated identification of hedgerows and hedgerow gaps using deep learning
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 ...

Surface Localized Coacervation Controlled by Bioactive Nanoarchitectonic Polyelectrolyte Multilayers
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.
