POWER: Performance Optimization With Evaluated Results for HEV Battery Selection via MCDM‐TOPSIS

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasing transportation demands and environmental concerns in India necessitate the selection of optimal battery technologies for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). As the fifth‐largest car market globally, India faces rising vehicle demand, while the transportation sector remains a major contributor to air pollution.

Larinioides sclopetarius, eine parasoziale Spinne Mitteleuropas? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Larinioides sclopetarius is one of very few Central European spiders known to be found in colonies in which the orb-webs are attached to each other. Individuals of different generations cooperate at least in web-building, i.e.

Visible Photosensitizing Disinfectant Spray for Combating Multidrug‐Resistant Candidozyma Auris in Healthcare Settings

open access: yesExploration, EarlyView.
We designed and synthesized a dual‐type AIE photosensitizer (named TB) spray, containing a cationic quaternary ammonium unit and a glycosyl‐targeted boronic acid moiety, characterized for the elimination of biofilm infections of Candidozyma auris (C. auris) on high‐touch surfaces.

Choreography of silk spinning by webspinners (Insecta: Embioptera) reflects lifestyle and hints at phylogeny [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Silk spinning defines the morphologically constrained embiopterans. All individuals spin for protection, including immatures, adult males and the wingless females. Enlarged front tarsi are packed with silk glands and clothed with ejectors.

Programmable crack dynamics engineering enables flexible strain sensors with high linearity

open access: yesFlexMat, EarlyView.
First‐decoupling theoretical framework of crack evolution elucidating the control methods, mechanistic insights, and structure‐activity relationships is established. Crack propagation from uncontrollable randomness systematically evolves into spatially ordered states.

Recent advances in multifunctional soft robots: A materials–structures–systems co‐design perspective for synergistic integration

open access: yesFlexMat, EarlyView.
Abstract Soft robots, engineered from highly compliant materials, offer superior adaptability and safety in unstructured environments compared to their rigid counterparts. Recent advancements, fueled by bio‐inspiration and material programmability, have led to the rapid co‐evolution of their core modules: actuation, sensing, protection, energy, and ...

Australasian Arachnology, Number 71, April 2005 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Nearly 20 years after the first meeting of the Society in Tunanda in 1986 and more than 10 years after the Internationonal Arachnological Congress in Brisbane, in 1993, there will be another ‘reunion’ of the Australasian Arachnological Society.

Urban‐driven homogenization of aquatic subsidy size structure cascades to riparian predator communities

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
The export of emergent aquatic insects is a critical energy subsidy for terrestrial food webs. While urbanization is known to alter stream communities, its effects on the size structure of these insect subsidies and the subsequent consequences for riparian predators remain poorly understood.

Asymmetry in Orb-Webs: An Adaptation to Web Building Costs? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Orb-web spiders build vertically asymmetric webs, in which the lower part is larger than the upper part. One hypothesis explaining this asymmetry suggests that the spider's mass imposes higher building costs in the upper part of the web, causing the ...

Changes in community composition and prey capture of web-building spiders during rice field development

open access: yesBasic and Applied Ecology
Understanding the effects of microhabitat changes on arthropod predator communities and their prey in agroecosystems is essential for field management and biocontrol.
