Tree Diversity Limits the Impact of an Invasive Forest Pest

open access: yesPLOS ONE, 2015
The impact of invasive herbivore species may be lower in more diverse plant communities due to mechanisms of associational resistance. According to the "resource concentration hypothesis" the amount and accessibility of host plants is reduced in diverse plant communities, thus limiting the exploitation of resources by consumers.

Untethered Magnetic Microswimmers for Targeted Particle Transport and Flow Manipulation

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This work introduces magnetically actuated microswimmers to dynamically reconfigure fluid flow within a single microfluidic device. Multiple homogeneous microswimmers are independently controlled by an external magnetic field to perform translational and rotational motions, thereby inducing real‐time flow manipulation.

Multiscale Acoustic Bubble Actuators Using Bioinspired Liquid‐Repellent Microstructures

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
The article presents multiscale acoustic bubble actuators using bioinspired liquid‐repellent microstructures, enabling programmable trapping, pumping, mixing, and precise flow control. Mimicking springtail microstructures, these scalable actuators (200 µm–1 mm) offer multifunctionality in all‐in‐one devices, letter‐shaped arrays, and 3D cube ...

Non-Invasive Prediction of Atrial Fibrosis Using a Regression Tree Model of Mean Left Atrial Voltage

open access: yesBiomedicines
Background: Atrial fibrosis is a key contributor to atrial cardiomyopathy and can be assessed invasively using mean left atrial voltage (MLAV) from electroanatomical mapping.

Printed 2.5D‐Microstructures with Material‐Specific Functionalization for Tunable Biosensing

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
The 2.5D‐MiSENSE platform integrates a microstructured biosensor with an in‐line milking pipeline to enable real‐time detection of mastitis biomarkers during active milk flow. The system uses a 2.5D microengineered surface and patterned electrodes to enhance milk–sensor interaction.

Control of Invasive Species: Lessons from Miconia in Hawaii [PDF]

open access: yes
Once established, invasive species can rapidly and irreversibly alter ecosystems and degrade the value of ecosystem services. Optimal control of an exotic pest solves for a trajectory of removals that minimizes the present value of removal costs and ...

Deep learning analysis of the myocardium in coronary CT angiography for identification of patients with functionally significant coronary artery stenosis

open access: yes, 2017
In patients with coronary artery stenoses of intermediate severity, the functional significance needs to be determined. Fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement, performed during invasive coronary angiography (ICA), is most often used in clinical ...
