Daily Rhythms in Mosquitoes and Their Consequences for Malaria Transmission
Insects, 2016 The 24-h day involves cycles in environmental factors that impact organismal fitness. This is thought to select for organisms to regulate their temporal biology accordingly, through circadian and diel rhythms.

Indian Journal of Nephrology, 2012 Patients receiving conventional hemodialysis have high hospitalisation rates, poor quality of life and survival compared to the general population. Many centres around the world are providing longer hours of hemodialysis - short daily hemodialysis and nocturnal hemodialysis - with a view to improving patient survival and quality of life.

Understanding how diel and seasonal rhythms affect the movements of a small non‐migratory bird
Ecosphere, 2022 Diel and seasonal rhythms affect an animal's environment and life history. Understanding how these rhythms influence movement increases our knowledge on how animals adjust to changing resources, environmental conditions, and risk to their survival.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.In this article, a water‐evaporation driven energy harvester is devised that works even in the absence of sunlight. This is achieved by combining PVA hydrogel with thermoelectrics (TEG) to directly capture energy from water evaporation. Under mild conditions (RH 40%, T of 26 °C, and 2.8 m s−1 wind), 1.71 mW (1.02 W m−2) power can be generated, >3 fold ...

International Journal of Gerontology, 2009 SummaryNocturnal lagophthalmos is the inability to close the eyelids during sleep. It may be physiological but can cause significant symptoms in some patients. The spectrum of the disease ranges from minimal corneal epithelial changes, which may heal later in the daytime, to corneal ulcers after severe exposure.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A structurally integrated multiscale hierarchical metamaterial composite (MHMC), inspired by the synergistic architecture of reinforced concrete, achieves simultaneous enhancement of thermal, electromagnetic, and mechanical functionalities. By combining a carbon black‐based mechanical metamaterial with a porosity‐graded cellulose acetate aerogel, this ...
