Enhancing Bubble Removal in Geometry‐Optimized Electrodes

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
3D‐printed lattice electrodes outperform stochastic foams in alkaline water electrolysis despite 20%–25% lower surface area. Straight flow channels generate Venturi‐like bubble entrainment, suppressing gas accumulation that renders foam interiors electrochemically inactive.

Parasitic plant Cistanche tubulosa shapes the bacterial community structure and functional composition of the salt-tolerant host Tamarix chinensis across different parasitic statuses

Environmental Microbiome
Background Root-associated microbiomes are crucial for assisting host and parasitic plants cope with environmental stress. However, little research exists on bacterial community characteristics of parasites and hosts under different parasitic statuses ...

Detection of Different Hosts From a Distance Alters the Behaviour and Bioelectrical Activity of Cuscuta racemosa

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
In our study, we investigated some physiological and ecological aspects of the life of Cuscuta racemosa Mart. (Convolvulaceae) plants with the hypothesis that they recognise different hosts at a distance from them, and they change their survival strategy

Parasites on parasites: hyper‐, epi‐, and autoparasitism among flowering plants

American Journal of Botany, 2021
All organisms engage in parasitic relations, as either parasites or hosts. Some species may even play both roles simultaneously. Among flowering plants, the most widespread form of parasitism is characterized by the development of an intrusive organ called the haustorium, which absorbs water and nutrients from the host.

From Shear to Sound: Mechanics–Acoustics Mapping of TPMS Lattices

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) lattices are mapped across mechanical and acoustic performance, revealing that descriptors validated in compression fail under shear. First‐time comparison with trusses included. A transition from porous to resonance‐driven absorption emerges at 25% density.

Sunflower Metabolites Involved in Resistance Mechanisms against Broomrape

Agronomy, 2021
Several strategies have been proposed to control parasitic plants and these include biological control, the use of herbicides, and suicidal germination or trap crops.

Ecology and physiology of parasitic plants [PDF]

, 2020
Parasitic plants are common fixtures in ecosystems. Although traditionally studied primarily for their negative impacts on their hosts, the range of interactions that parasitic plants have and their role in shaping ecosystem structure and function is ...

Native parasitic plants: Biological control for plant invasions? [PDF]

, 2020
© 2020 International Association for Vegetation Science Plant invasions cause biodiversity loss and degradation in ecosystems worldwide. The invasive species involved may be introduced, or native invaders, and controlling them is a major global challenge.

Printed Integrated Logic Circuits Based on Chitosan‐Gated Organic Transistors for Future Edible Systems

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Edible electronics needs integrated logic circuits for computation and control. This work presents a potentially edible printed chitosan‐gated transistor with a design optimized for integration in circuits. Its implementation in integrated logic gates and circuits operating at low voltage (0.7 V) is demonstrated, as well as the compatibility with an ...

Prevalence of mistletoes in fruit and timber trees in the wet and intermediate zone of Sri Lanka

Tropical Agricultural Research, 2018
A survey was conducted to identify the parasitic plant species occurring in timber and fruit trees during November 2015 to April 2017, in 15 Districts of Wet and Intermediate Zones of Sri Lanka using two stage stratified random sampling scheme.
