Application of Neural Networks for Advanced Ir Spectroscopy Characterization of Ceria Catalysts Surfaces

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, Volume 2, Issue 4, August 2026.
A novel convolutional neural network architecture enables rapid, unsupervised analysis of IR spectroscopic data from DRIFTS and IRRAS. By combining synthetic data generation with parallel convolutional layers and advanced regularization, the model accurately resolves spectral features of adsorbed CO, offering real‐time insights into ceria surface ...

Rhythmic abdominal pumping movements in praying Mantises (Insecta: Mantodea)

Fragmenta Entomologica, 2019
We analyzed the rhythmic, cyclical dorsal-ventral abdominal pumping movements of nymphal and adult Hierodula patellifera (Audinet- Serville 1839), and adult Stagmomantis carolina (Johansson 1763), Tenodera sinensis (de Saussure 1871), Miomantis paykullii (Stål 1871), and Sphodromantis lineola (Burmeister 1838) using a combination of customized video ...

Morphology and material composition of raptorial foreleg cuticles in praying mantises Gongylus gongylodes and Sphodromantis lineola

Scientific Reports
Praying mantises (Mantodea, Insecta) are capable of capturing larger invertebrates and also smaller vertebrates with their raptorial forelegs. Forelegs may exhibit morphological adaptations based on the type of prey they prefer (e.g., softer or harder ...

Covalently Immobilized Lignin–Xanthene Conjugates for Persistent Surface Photochemistry and Self‐Sterilizing Interfaces Under Ambient Visible Light

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 47, Issue 15, 4 August 2026.
Bio‐derived lignin–Eosin Y macromolecular networks are developed as visible‐light‐responsive self‐sterilizing coatings that generate reactive oxygen species without leaching. The spray‐coated photopolymerized surfaces exhibit durable antibacterial and antiviral activity under ambient light for extended periods, demonstrating a scalable and sustainable ...

Boosting Polyethylene to Aromatics Upcycling via Microwave Catalysis Over Desilicated HZSM‐5

Advanced Chemical Engineering, Volume 1, Issue 1, July 2026.
Microwave (MW) catalysis over optimally desilicated HZSM‐5 enables efficient polyethylene (PE) upcycling at 300°C. Controlled desilication creates hierarchical porosity, tunes acid‐site distribution, and strengthens MW–catalyst coupling, promoting rapid conversion of cracked intermediates to BTX.

Ameles spallanzania (Insecta, Dictyoptera): A newly introduced species of Mantodea in Crimean fauna [PDF]

Journal of Orthoptera Research
Recent years have seen the arrival of many non-native species of praying mantises (Insecta: Mantodea) around the globe. These introductions are thought to be either accidental, aided by human transport and decorative plants, or a result of expansion of ...

The evolutionary history of praying mantises (Dictyoptera, Mantodea)

Systematic Entomology
Abstract Mantodea are among the most charismatic insects, and investigations of their evolutionary history interrogate some of their most compelling morphological traits. Despite this, studies of Mantodea systematics have often drastically changed historical perspectives about their evolutionary history, underscoring the lack of study

Arthropod diversity in Iran: Class Insecta – Polyneoptera, part I. Blattodea Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1882, Mantodea Burmeister, 1838, and Phasmatodea Jacobson & Bianchi, 1902 [PDF]

Journal of Insect Biodiversity and Systematics
This work presents a comprehensive review of the insect orders Mantodea (praying mantises), Blattodea (cockroaches and termites), and Phasmatodea (stick insects) in Iran, based on literature, national checklists, and global taxonomic databases to develop
