The neonicotinoid insecticide Imidacloprid repels pollinating flies and beetles at field-realistic concentrations [PDF]

, 2013
Neonicotinoids are widely used systemic insecticides which, when applied to flowering crops, are translocated to the nectar and pollen where they may impact upon pollinators.

Synergistic Tuning of Conformational Dynamics, Electron Tunneling, and Substrate Positioning Enhances Electron Transfer in a P450 Chimera for Calcifediol Biosynthesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A synergistic electron transfer (ET) optimization strategy modulating conformational dynamics, ET pathway, and substrate orientation is proposed for self‐sufficient cytochrome P450s. Guided by this strategy, a P450 variant with improved ET and catalytic efficiency was identified, and the underlying molecular basis was revealed by computational analysis.

Wireless blood pressure sensor implantation in sheep: A detailed technique

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Twelve adult sheep underwent wireless blood pressure sensor implantation. The procedure lasted an average of 36 min, with mean systolic and diastolic blood pressures of 93 ± 6 and 65 ± 5 mmHg, respectively. This rapid, minimally invasive protocol is a powerful platform for cardiovascular device development.

Energy‐Efficient and Sustainable Design Optimization for Ternary Mixture Separation: A Comparative Analysis of Sequential Iterative Optimization and Non‐Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a comparative analysis of two optimization approaches: Sequential Iterative Optimization (SIO) and Non‐dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA‐II) applied to the separation of ternary mixtures (1‐butanol, isobutanol, and 2‐butanol) using Dual‐Column Distillation (DCD) and Dividing‐Wall Column (DWC) processes. Through a
