Arthropod‐Inspired Miniature Modular Vibration Direct‐Drive Robot With Untethered Locomotion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work presents an arthropod‐inspired untethered miniature modular vibration direct‐drive robot. By utilizing standardized driving units and nested locking interfaces, on‐demand reconfiguration into quadruped, hexapod, octopod, and circular morphologies is achieved.

Pest categorisation of Ips duplicatus

EFSA Journal, 2017
The Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of the double‐spined bark beetle, Ips duplicatus (Sahlberg, 1836) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae), for the EU. I. duplicatus is a well‐defined and distinguishable species, native to Europe

Plant Metabolites Screening Identifies 7‐epi‐10‐Deacetyltaxol Inhibiting Cell Division by Interfering With the Cell Cycle and Microtubule Organization

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, an efficient screening system is developed for plant metabolites to find a compound, 7‐epi‐10‐deacetyltaxol, inhibits tissue elongation. It suppresses plant growth through brassinosteroid and microtubule pathways. It is later applied to animal cells and human tumor organoids, resulting in similar cell division suppression. These findings

Synergistic Optimization of Cathode Composite Architecture and Stack Pressure for High‐Performance All‐Solid‐State Chloride‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Composite cathode engineering and stack pressure co‐optimization enable a high‐performance all‐solid‐state chloride‐ion battery based on a VOCl/CsSn₀.₉In₀.₀₆₇Cl3/In architecture, delivering 169 mAh g−1 with 500‐cycle durability. Electrode‐resolved impedance tracking via distribution of relaxation times revealed progressive interphase and charge ...

Hemp Cultivation and Crop Diversification: Implications for Ecosystem Services in Kentucky

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the ecosystem benefits of expanding hemp cultivation by assessing its impact on crop diversity. Using scenario‐based simulations and fixed‐effect panel regressions with county‐level data in Kentucky, we find that increased hemp acreage tends to enhance crop diversity, improving water quality and bird diversity.

Farmers' Preferences for Gene Editing Crops and Influencing Factors

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gene editing (GE) is gaining momentum worldwide, but limited data on UK farmers' preferences hinders our understanding of its potential impact amid deregulation debates. Based on a survey of 200 English arable farmers, we employ a Latent Class Analysis and Multinomial Logit regressions to investigate current preferences for GE crops.

Pest categorisation of Acrobasis pirivorella

EFSA Journal, 2018
The European Commission requested EFSA to conduct a pest categorisation of Acrobasis pirivorella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), a monophagous moth whose larvae exclusively feed on developing buds, flowers, and fruits of cultivated and wild Pyrus spp.

Voluntary Collective Action to Address Growing Agricultural Challenges in Two Countries: Experimental Insights and Commonalities

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We conducted two framed field economic experiments with citrus farmers in Florida, United States and soybean farmers in Argentina to investigate their willingness to coordinate pest and weed management efforts. Despite the contrast between these two agricultural contexts, we find striking behavioral commonalities.
