Compliant Footpads Enable Terrain‐Adaptive Hopping in a Monopedal Robot

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A lightweight compliant footpad with embedded spines lets a monopedal hopping robot keep stable ground contact. It preserves stance‐phase dynamics and enables reliable hopping on rock, sand, and ice. Monopedal hopping robots offer exceptional mobility over discontinuous terrain but require consistent foot‐ground contact to maintain stance‐phase ...

Causal analysis of trade loss from pathogens: A global study of foot and mouth disease impacts on meat exports

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Our general interest is in global trade loss from livestock pathogens, specifically exports. We adopt a causal inference approach that considers animal disease outbreaks over time as non‐staggered binary treatments with the potential for switching in (infection) and out of treatment (recovery) within the sample period. The outcome evolution of

Influence of Direct Saponification Conditions on Sterol Yield and Composition of the Unsaponifiable Fraction of the Microalga Isochrysis galbana and the Seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Saponification is a key step for recovering the unsaponifiable fraction (USF) of lipids, which contains bioactive sterols, tocopherols, and carotenoids. This study optimized direct saponification conditions (50–300 g L−1 KOH; 60°C–100°C) to recover sterol‐rich USFs from the microalga Isochrysis galbana and the brown seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum,

refloraR: An R package for efficiently retrieving and analyzing plant specimen data from the Herbário Virtual Reflora

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Advances in the digitization of herbarium collections are enabling open access to specimen data for research and conservation. In Brazil, the Herbário Virtual Reflora (HVR) hosts over 4.8 million high‐resolution images of botanical specimens and their associated data from 86 national and international herbaria.

Origin, evolution and biogeographic dynamics of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in Southwestern Europe

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

Hepatic morphology and serum biochemical profile according to dry and rainy seasons in Pygocentrus nattereri (Characiformes: Serrasalmidae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigated the physiological and morphological adaptations of the liver of the carnivorous fish Pygocentrus nattereri (piranha) in response to seasonal variations (dry and rainy seasons) in the Brazilian Pantanal. The objective was to describe how the liver, a central organ in metabolic regulation, responds to environmental ...
