Effects of heat shocks, heat waves, and sustained warming on solitary bees

Frontiers in Bee Science
Along with higher average temperatures, global climate change is expected to lead to more frequent and intense extreme heat events, and these different types of warming are likely to differ in their effects on bees. Although solitary bees comprise >75%

Broadband, Flexible, Skin‐Compatible Carbon Dots/Graphene Photodetectors for Wearable Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Broadband, flexible photodetectors integrating nitrogen‐rich carbon dots with single‐layer graphene on plastic substrates are demonstrated. A biocompatible chitosan–glycerol electrolyte enables efficient low‐voltage gating and on‐skin operation. The devices exhibit ultraviolet‐to‐near‐infrared response, mechanical robustness under bending, and verified

Encoding Magnetic Anisotropies in Digital Light Processing 3D Printing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A hybrid magnetic device—combining a coaxial coil within a nested Halbach array—is presented, integrated into a DLP 3D printer to enable spatially resolved magnetic field control. This system enables complex, multimodal responses by programming liquid crystal elastomer resins for magnetic and thermal actuation, and by inducing electrically conductive ...

House Swallow Optimizer: A New Meta-Heuristic Algorithm and Its Application for DOA Estimation of Broadband Signal in Vector Hydrophone Array

IEEE Access
A new meta-heuristic algorithm, termed the House Swallow Optimizer (HSO), is proposed. Inspired by the sophisticated behavioral repertoire of house swallows, this algorithm addresses the limitations of conventional optimization methods in solving complex,

Can a Magnetic Field Destroy a Spin-Density-Wave Phase in a Quasi-One-Dimensional Conductor?

, 2018
It is known that, in a pure one-dimensional case, Charge-Density-Wave (CDW) phase is destroyed by a magnetic field, whereas Spin-Density-Wave (SDW) one does not feel the field.

Micro and Nanostructural Diversity of Lizard Osteoderm Capping Tissue in Relation to Mechanical Performance

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study shows that lizard osteoderm capping tissue is a hyper‐mineralized hydroxyapatite layer consistently covering the superficial osteoderm surface in those species studied here, yet it varies greatly in morphology, nanostructure, and mechanical performance across species.

Evaluation of factors associated with predation on Caiman latirostris nests (Crocodylia: Alligatoridae) in Argentina

Phyllomedusa: Journal of Herpetology, 2016
Predation is a major cause of crocodilian egg loss. However, at present, the mechanisms by which predators detect nests is unknown. Previous studies have reported that predators are able to detect prey using both visual and olfactory cues.

Behaviour of commercial layer hens in enriched cages and floor systems examined using human and video-based observations

South African Journal of Animal Science
There is considerable pressure to eliminate the use of conventional cages in commercial layer hen production systems. However, the assessment of alternative systems that can ensure the hen’s ability to perform natural behaviours, while simultaneously ...

Some aspects of the ecology of the leatherback turtle Dermochelys coriacea at Laguna Jalova, Costa Rica [PDF]

, 1987
The ecology and reproductive biology of the leatherback turtle (Dennochelys coriacea) was studied on a high-energy nesting beach near Laguna Jalova, Costa Rica, between 28 March and 8 June 1985.
