Release of multicomponent pheromones from porous fibres
The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract Surface engineering empowers a polymer exclusion net to serve dual functions: physical exclusion and pheromonal release, allowing for pest control in agricultural crops. In previous work, a net woven from porous fibres releasing simple, single‐component alarm pheromones showed promising results in field tests.

Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The leading‐order asymptotic behavior of the solution of the Cauchy initial‐value problem for the Benjamin–Ono equation in L2(R)$L^2(\mathbb {R})$ is obtained explicitly for generic rational initial data u0$u_0$. An explicit asymptotic wave profile uZD(t,x;ε)$u^\mathrm{ZD}(t,x;\epsilon)$ is given, in terms of the branches of the multivalued ...

A Local Parametrization of the State-Feedback Matrices in the Pole Assignment Problem
Given a controllable system $(F,G)$, a local parametrization is obtained for the set of feedback gain matrices $K$ such that the state matrix, $F+GK$, of the closed loop system is in a prescribed similarity class. It is shown that this set can be endowed with the structure of a differentiable manifold whose dimension is also computed.

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.In this work, a polyurethane‐based fluorinated SICEs with excellent mechanical properties (7.35 MPa and 61.4 MJ m−3), conductivity (4.2 × 10−4 S cm−1), and harsh environmental resistance were prepared by a “three birds with one stone” strategy that combines multiple interactions with fluorine effects. The paper‐folding TENG is capable of harvesting not

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.This study employs a hard‐templating etching strategy to synthesize N‐doped hollow mesoporous carbon spheres embedded with NiCo nanoparticles (denoted as NiCo@N‐HMCS). The optimized catalyst exhibits exceptional bifunctional catalytic activity for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline media, achieving a ...
