Single Cu Atoms Anchored Energetic COFs as Combustion Catalytic Promoters toward Rapid and Concentrated Thermal Decomposition of Ammonium Perchlorate

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Introducing energetic Cu‐based metal salts into the covalent organic frameworks (COFs) structure, Cu is in single‐atom form anchored to the framework, with energetic anions confined in the COFs structure. The synergistic interaction between single Cu atoms and the anions accelerates the reaction kinetics of ammonium perchlorate (AP) decomposition ...

Eliciting a predatory response in the eastern corn snake (Pantherophis guttatus) using live and inanimate sensory stimuli: implications for managing invasive populations [PDF]

, 2014
North America's Eastern corn snake (Pantherophis guttatus) has been introduced to several islands throughout the Caribbean and Australasia where it poses a significant threat to native wildlife. Invasive snake control programs often involve trapping with

Cognitive Outcome in Young Adults after Resolution of Epilepsy in Childhood

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Self‐limited epilepsies of childhood are common and were considered benign. We aim to determine whether cognitive function in young adults who experienced epilepsy as children and are subsequently seizure‐free and unmedicated differ from the general population. We report on a cross‐sectional population‐based study including 2,124,871 men and women aged

Biology and Predatory Behavior of Metioche Vittaticollis (Stal) (Orthoptera: Gryllidae) [PDF]

, 2012
Metioche vittaticollis (Stal) is one of the generalist predator in rice field habitat. The biology and predatory behavior were studied in the laboratory. The life cycle of M. vittaticollis (Stal) averaged 40–61 days at 26°-28oC.

Chromosome‐scale reference genome of Pectocarya recurvata, the species with the smallest reported genome size in Boraginaceae

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Pectocarya recurvata (Boraginaceae, subfamily Cynoglossoideae), a species native to the Sonoran Desert (North America), has served as a model system for a suite of ecological and evolutionary studies. However, no reference genomes are currently available in Cynoglossoideae. A high‐quality reference genome for P.

Trichobothrial mediation of an aquatic escape response: Directional jumps by the fishing spider, Dolomedes triton, foil frog attacks

Journal of Insect Science, 2003
Fishing spiders (Pisauridae) frequent the surfaces of ponds and streams and thereby expose themselves to predation by a variety of aquatic and semi-aquatic vertebrates. To assess the possibility that the impressive jumps of fishing spiders from the water
