Mueller-matrix diagnostics of optical properties inherent to polycrystalline networks of human blood plasma [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This work is aimed at studying the possibilities of Mueller-matrix diagnostics applied to optically anisotropic birefringent polycrystalline networks inherent to amino acids in human blood plasma. Determined here are interrelations between statistical

Transforming Fragile Hydrogel Chips Into Standardized Cartridges via Contact Line Pinning for Robust Microfluidics

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Hydrogel‐based microfluidic chips revolutionize drug delivery, tissue engineering, and biosensing, yet face challenges due to fragility and connection difficulty. This study introduces a novel cartridge design that enhances usability through a hydrogel–plastic hybrid design and a contactless connection method.

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Habitat Features, Coyotes, and Humans Drive Diel Activity Variation Among Sympatric Mammals

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We found that multiple mammal species show considerable variation in diel activity in response to several factors, with biotic variables (habitat features and the presence of coyotes Canis latrans) having the strongest overall effects. Our results have important implications for trophic dynamics. Future studies will need to account for these underlying
