Enhanced Antibacterial Properties of Lyotropic Liquid Crystalline Nanoparticles via Curvature Modulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Lipid nanostructured particles with increasing negative Gaussian curvature progress from vesicles to P‐cubosomes and D‐cubosomes. This curvature hierarchy enhances interaction with bacterial membranes, promotes membrane remodeling and leakage, and potentiates daptomycin activity against MRSA.

Evaporation Kinetics Engineering Suppressed Bimolecular Recombination in All‐Polymer Solar Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, phenanthrene (Ph), a volatile solid additive with a weak tendency toward self‐aggregation, is introduced as a donor‐selective morphology regulator in benchmark all‐PSC systems. The moderate evaporation kinetics of Ph enable cooperative crystallization of donors and acceptors, leading to an increased fractal dimension with reduced donor ...

Thermal‐Ionic Coupling in Transpiration‐Inspired Janus Nanofiber Membranes: Synergistic Dry‐Wet Interface Engineering for Solar‐Driven Electricity Generation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A transpiration‐inspired Janus nanofiber membrane creates a persistent dry‐wet interface that couples localized solar heating with hydration‐induced ion regulation. The asymmetric architecture sustains directional water and ion transport, suppresses salt accumulation, and enables simultaneous seawater evaporation and stable electricity generation ...

Developing a Universal Framework for Estimating Soybean Leaf Area Index Growth

Agronomy
Leaf Area Index (LAI) is a key variable in modeling plant growth because it is the site of photosynthesis. However, there are significant differences in LAI between different models and between models and satellite-derived estimates.

Rice yield forecasting models using satellite imagery in Egypt

Egyptian Journal of Remote Sensing and Space Sciences, 2013
Ability to make yield prediction before harvest using satellite remote sensing is important in many aspects of agricultural decision-making. In this study, canopy reflectance band and different band ratios in form of vegetation indices (VI) with leaf ...

Anti-erosion effectiveness of selected crops and the relation to leaf area index (LAI) [PDF]

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2006
This paper presents results of an experiment carried out in 2000-2003 in the mountain region (southern Poland, 545 m a.s.l.) to determine the effect of over-ground parts growth of fodder beet, winter triticale and horse bean on the intensity of soil losses. The research was conducted on the hillside with a 16% slope with the simulated rainfall (105 mm;

Real‐time monitoring of root dielectric properties for assessing crop plant damage caused by foliar application of glyphosate

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise There is a knowledge gap regarding how foliar injury and restricted water uptake can be detected by measuring root dielectric response. This pot study nondestructively evaluated the efficiency of real‐time dielectric measurement to monitor the effects of glyphosate spraying.

Clade‐wide morphological and functional variation of the sauropsid columella

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The columella (=stapes) is the middle ear bone of reptiles that transmits vibrations from the environment to the inner ear. It has been shown to exhibit extensive interspecific morphological disparity in several clades; however, its morphological variation and associated functional consequences remain poorly described.

LaiPen LP 100 - a new device for estimating forest ecosystem leaf area index compared to the etalon: A methodologic case study

Journal of Forest Science, 2018
Fast and precise leaf area index (LAI) estimation of a forest stand is frequently needed for a wide range of ecological studies. In the presented study, we compared side-by-side two instruments for performing LAI estimation (i.e.
