Using a “sonic net” to deter pest bird species: Excluding European starlings from food sources by disrupting their acoustic communication

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2015
Pest avian wildlife is responsible for substantial economic damage every year in the United States. Previous technologies used to deter starlings have generally failed because birds quickly habituate to startle regimes.

The detection of tightly closed flaws by nondestructive testing (NDT) methods [PDF]

open access: yes
Liquid penetrant, ultrasonic, eddy current and X-radiographic techniques were optimized and applied to the evaluation of 2219-T87 aluminum alloy test specimens in integrally stiffened panel, and weld panel configurations.

Thermoelectric Performance and Morphological Stability of Thin Titania: Carbon Black Hybrid Films Against Humidity and Light Irradiation

open access: yesAdvanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
Nanostructured titania:carbon black hybrid films, fabricated via water‐based slot‐die coating, show stable thermoelectric performance under light irradiation but degrade under high humidity. Operando grazing incidence small‐angle X‐ray scattering reveals humidity‐induced morphological changes correlating with reduced Seebeck coefficients.

Nitric oxide donation lowers blood pressure in adrenocorticotrophic hormone-induced hypertensive rats.

open access: yes, 2004
Adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) elevates systolic blood pressure (SBP) and lowers plasma reactive nitrogen intermediates in rats. We assessed the ability of NO donation from isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) to prevent or reverse the hypertension caused by

Unveiling Localized Heat in Lithium‐Ion Cells for Intelligent Temperature Sensing

open access: yesAdvanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
Heat generation, thermal responses, and intelligent management in batteries. Lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) power electric vehicles, portable electronics, and grid‐scale storage, yet their safety, performance, and lifetime are constrained by thermal effects.
