Engineering the Cambrian explosion: the earliest bioturbators as ecosystem engineers [PDF]
By applying modern biological criteria to trace fossil types and assessing burrow morphology, complexity, depth, potential burrow function and the likelihood of bioirrigation, we assign ecosystem engineering impact (EEI) values to the key ichnotaxa in ...

Translation of recombinant spider silks as fillers for nerve guidance conduits in long‐segment nerve reconstruction demands a detailed examination of native counterparts. Thus, this study conducts a comprehensive analysis of the material properties of four phylogenetically diverse spider silks and their impact on Schwann cell adhesion, pinpointing key ...

Organic Permeable Base Transistors—Reliable Large‐Scale Anodization for High Frequency Devices
Electrochemical anodization is optimized for organic permeable base transistors (OPBTs), achieving an unprecedented 87% yield and reproducibility for vertical organic transistors (VOTs) on a 15 x 15 cm wafer. Controlled Al base oxidation ensures a median transconductance of 10−3 S, leakage current below 10−9 A, current gain of 106, and transit ...

Encounter rates between bacteria and small sinking particles [PDF]
Bacteria in aquatic environments often interact with particulate matter. A key example is bacterial degradation of marine snow responsible for carbon export from the upper ocean in the biological pump. The ecological interaction between bacteria and sinking particles is regulated by their encounter rate, which is therefore important to predict ...

Can aggregate quarry silt lagoons provide resources for wading birds? [PDF]
Wading birds have declined across Europe as the intensification of lowland agriculture has resulted in the loss and degradation of wetland areas. Lowland aggregate extraction sites that incorporate areas of fine, waste sediments deposited in silt lagoons
