Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

Approximation of bruise spot volume in pears in plots against deformation parameters

Research in Agricultural Engineering, 2003
Pears of different varieties were compressed between two flat rigid plates in loading/unloading tests. The bruise spots appearing after room temperature incubation were analysed manually, and bruise spot volumes were determined.

Innovation in the Face of Necessity: A Mixed‐Method Study of Student's Experience From an Anatomy Education Program Focused on a Near‐Peer Tutoring Module

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Following institutional changes that reduced access to cadaveric dissection, Paris‐Saclay University developed a two‐year elective anatomy pathway serving as a longitudinal progression toward near‐peer tutoring (NPT). Designed as a complement to the core curriculum, the program preserves engagement with human dissection while promoting ...

Photoreversible Polyurea Actuators With Spatiotemporal Control and Adaptive Mechanics

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A light–thermal responsive polyurea network incorporating reversibly dimerizable anthracene units enables spatiotemporal modulation of cross‐linking density and nearly 400‐fold stiffness tuning. Integrating programmable anisotropy, photopatterning, self‐healing, and photowelding within a single framework, this bioinspired “one network–multifunction ...

Matching TGF‐β1 Activation With Stress‐Responsive Charge‐Reversal Hydrogel Microspheres for the Treatment of Osteoarthritis

Exploration, EarlyView.
Based on the interaction between the weakly cross‐linked disulfide bonds that break under stress and charge‐reversal messenger molecules, we herein achieved nanoparticle charge reversal under stress and constructed a stress‐responsive charge‐reversal hydrogel microsphere system using microfluidic technology.
