Hydro‐ and Lipophilicity of Molecular‐Size‐Controlled Hydrogel Drug Carriers

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
We investigate nano‐sized hydrogel drug carriers with tailored hydro‐ and lipophilicity. We design their encapsulation and structure‐forming capabilities and follow them in real time during fabrication using time‐resolved and in situ grazing incidence x‐ray scattering.

Bird community patterns in sub–Mediterranean pastures: the effects of shrub cover and grazing intensity

open access: yesAnimal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2011
Shrubs are widely considered a threat to grassland biodiversity. We investigated the effects of shrub cover and grazing intensity on bird communities in sub–Mediterranean pastures in Bulgaria.

Echinoderm‐Inspired Autonomy for Soft‐Legged Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Inspired by echinoderms, a modular soft robot achieves autonomous phototaxis without a central controller or explicit communication. Each limb independently adapts its actuation timing through local sensing and short‐term memory. Coordination emerges purely from physical interactions, demonstrating resilience to changes in morphology, environment, and ...

Gait Analysis of Pak Biawak: A Necrobot Lizard Built using the Skeleton of an Asian Water Monitor (Varanus Salvator)

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Pak Biawak, a necrobot, embodies an unusual fusion of biology and robotics. Designed to repurpose natural structures after death, it challenges conventional boundaries between nature and engineering. Its movements are precise yet unsettling, raising questions about sustainability, ethics, and the untapped potential of biointegrated machines.

From Lab to Landscape: Environmental Biohybrid Robotics for Ecological Futures

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This Perspective explores environmental biohybrid robotics, integrating living tissues, microorganisms, and insects for operation in real‐world ecosystems. It traces the leap from laboratory experiments to forests, wetlands, and urban environments and discusses key challenges, development pathways, and opportunities for ecological monitoring and ...

Ticks on pastures and on two breeds of cattle in the Eastern Cape province, South Africa

open access: yesOnderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 2011
Many studies on the population dynamics of questing ticks on pastures and of parasitic ticks on cattle have been conducted. Few, however, have attempted to link the two in a single study.

Productivity of natural grassland and pastures of Serbia and Srpska

open access: yes, 2022
Characteristic types of wetland grasslands in Serbia and Srpska are: Phalaridetum arundinaceae, Beckmanietum erucaeformis, Caricetum vulpinae-ripariae, Agrostidetum-Juncetum effusi, Molinietum coeruleae, Deschampsietum caespitosae and others. Hay yields range, without the application of fertilizers, from 3.5 t / ha to 4.5 t / ha. The following types of

Semi-natural pastures in Scania: grazing and the support system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Semi-natural pastures are one of the most species-rich habitats found in Sweden and many endangered species are connected to them. Strongly declining in area, semi-natural pastures in Sweden can be eligible for financial support within the EU agri ...

Consensus Formation and Change are Enhanced by Neutrality

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Neutral agents are shown to enhance both the formation and overturning of consensus in collective decision‐making. A general mathematical model and experiments with locusts and humans reveal that neutrality enables robust consensus via simple interactions and accelerates consensus change by reducing effective population size.
