Opportunities for 2D‐Material‐Based Multifunctional Devices and Systems in Bioinspired Neural Networks

Small, EarlyView.
Bio‐inspired computing offers a route to highly energy‐efficient artificial intelligence. The unique physical properties of two‐dimensional (2D) materials can further enhance such computing approaches. This perspective highlights recent developments in 2D materials‐based neuromorphic devices and discusses future opportunities for integrating such novel

Micro‐habitat selection by boreal woodland caribou improves access to food

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Bio‐logging sensors attached to radiotelemetry receivers have great potential to transform our understanding of the ecological, physiological, and energetic constraints that shape patterns of wildlife movement under field conditions. We used video camera collars to assess microhabitat selectivity by woodland caribou Rangifer tarandus in boreal forests ...

Dose Rate Effects on the Postirradiation Survival and Reproductive Potential of the Lesser Grain Borer

The Florida Entomologist, 1972
Survival and reproductive potential of Rhyzopertha dominica (F.) irradiated with 64 R/min, 640 R/min, and 4200 R/min were determined at different exposures ranging from 5 to 80 kR of gamma rays. Dose rate effects were relatively more pronounced at lower (5-10 kR) than at higher exposures (20-80 kR).

Variants in the Mitochondrial Genome Sequence of Rhyzopertha dominica (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Bostrycidae)

Insects, 2021
The lesser grain borer, Rhyzopertha dominica, is a coleopteran pest of stored grains and is mainly controlled by phosphine fumigation, but the increase in phosphine-resistant populations threatens efficacy.

125 years of exploration and research at Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK) 125 ans d'exploration et de recherches à Gough's Cave (Somerset, Royaume‐Uni)

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Our understanding of the recolonization of northwest Europe in the period leading up to the Lateglacial Interstadial relies heavily on discoveries from Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK). Gough's Cave is the richest Late Upper Palaeolithic site in the British Isles, yielding an exceptional array of human remains, stone and organic artefacts, and butchered ...

Toxic Effect of Mustard (Brassicacampestris) Seed Oil on Lesser Grain Borer Rhizoperthadominica (Fab.)

International Journal of Advanced Research in Science, Communication and Technology, 2023
Wheat is an important component in the food. It suffered during storage by a number of insect pests out of which Rhizoperthadominica (Fab.) is the major pest. Synthetic insecticides are used to protect the grains from attack of this noxious pest, but these insecticides pose a serious threat toman, animal and environment.

‘Everything is a signal’: speaking circuits and noisy signs in the making of language‐oriented AI « Tout est signal » : circuits parlants et signes bruyants dans la création de l'IA orientée langage

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Contemporary artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are often presumed to be capable of revealing unmediated truths about the world, including the truths language might hold, echoing the long‐standing assertion that language's primary function is to directly translate reality.

Evaluation of a Greek Diatomaceous Earth for Stored Product Insect Control and Techniques That Maximize Its Insecticidal Efficacy

Applied Sciences, 2020
Laboratory bioassays were conducted to evaluate the insecticidal efficacy of a diatomaceous earth deposit from Greece, for a wide range of stored product insects. In this context, populations of five different insect species, Tribolium confusum Jacquelin

Twenty‐First Century Butlers and the New Spirit of Service

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT More than 50 years ago, Lewis Coser argued that the “servant” had become obsolete, claiming that such a “premodern” occupation could not function within modernity without religious legitimations. However, with parts of the contemporary service sector exhibiting the very characteristics that Coser viewed as “premodern”—especially within ...
