Assessing the performance of protective winter covers for outdoor marble statuary: pilot investigation [PDF]
Outdoor statuary in gardens and parks in temperate climates has a tradition of being covered during the winter, to protect against external conditions. There has been little scientific study of the environmental protection that different types of covers ...

Condensation and equilibration in an urn model
After reviewing the general scaling properties of aging systems, we present a numerical study of the slow evolution induced in the zeta urn model by a quench from a high temperature to a lower one where a condensed equilibrium phase exists.

Emulsions stabilised by whey protein microgel particles: Towards food-grade Pickering emulsions [PDF]
We have investigated a new class of food-grade particles, whey protein microgels, as stabilisers of triglyceride-water emulsions. The sub-micron particles stabilized oil-in-water emulsions at all pH with and without salt.

The spread of non‐native species
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

Recent advancements in liquid marbles: fabrication, materials, control mechanisms, and applications
Liquid marbles (LMs) are versatile soft matter systems comprising a liquid core encapsulated by a shell of hydrophobic particles. LMs exhibit non-wetting properties and hence have enhanced mobility compared with droplets on a solid substrate.

The impacts of biological invasions
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

How Wide and High can Polyhedral Liquid Marbles be Fabricated?
Liquid marbles (LMs) are liquid droplets in gaseous phase, which are generally millimeter size, coated by solid particles. In this study, how wide and high LMs can be fabricated is investigated.

Biomaterial Physical Cues as Gene Regulators for Cellular Agriculture
This review elucidates how biomaterial physical cues—ranging from matrix stiffness to remote electromagnetic fields—serve as extrinsic regulators of gene expression in cellular agriculture. By identifying central mechanotransduction pathways that bridge physical inputs to genetic remodeling, the authors propose the “Material Genome” concept: a ...
