Recent Trends in Conjugated Polymer‐Based Thermoelectrics From Materials to Device
Conjugated polymers (CPs) have shown dramatic advances in their thermoelectric (TE) power factor over the past decades, enabling biocompatible, solution‐processable, lightweight, and deformable (flexible/stretchable) TE generators. Material engineering principles have played an essential role in the remarkable improvements in power factor, including ...

A high prevalence of beak and feather disease virus in non-psittacine Australian birds [PDF]
PURPOSE: Beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) is a circovirus and the cause of psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD). This disease is characterized by feather and beak deformities and is a recognized threat to endangered Psittaciformes (parrots and

Development of novel diagnostic and vaccine options for beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) [PDF]
Beak and Feather Disease Virus (BFDV) is a circovirus which causes ill-thrift, feather loss and immunosuppression leading to secondary infections and eventually death in psittacine birds.

Hygiene and biosecurity protocols reduce infection prevalence but do not improve fledging success in an endangered parrot. [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases (EIDs) are recognised as global extinction drivers of threatened species. Unfortunately, biodiversity managers have few tested solutions to manage them when often the desperate need for solutions necessitates a response. Here

Detection and analysis of new psittacine beak and feather disease virus (PBFDv) nucleotide sequences [PDF]
Psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD) affects a large number of Psittaciformes species. In this study, five White Cockatoo parrots (Cacatua alba) with clinical signs of PBFD were examined.

Towards a Performance-Based Fire Design Framework for Composite Steel Deck Construction in Canada
In Canada, buildings are designed for fire safety in a predominately prescriptive manner, especially the structural design of those buildings for the fire limit state.
