Drop‐Location‐Insensitive Droplet‐Based Electricity Generator Using Polydimethylsiloxane Slippery Covalently Attached Liquid Coatings

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Drop‐location sensitivity remains a key barrier to practical droplet‐based electricity generators (DEGs). Here, a polydimethylsiloxane slippery covalently attached liquid (PDMS‐SCAL)‐coated interface promotes droplet sliding instead of splitting or bouncing, allowing stable electricity generation from randomly falling raindrops. The resulting PDMS‐SCAL‐

Present status of quail farming in Africa: A review [PDF]

Poultry Science Journal
Although quail farming is still in its infancy in Africa, it is commonly practiced in Asia, with China producing about 38% of global production. About 10% of the world’s egg production comes from quail, while their meat represents about 0.2% of the ...

Monoclonal antibodies specific to quail embryo tissues: their epitopes in the developing quail embryo and their application to identification of quail cells in quail-chick chimeras. [PDF]

Journal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry, 1992
Quail-chick chimeras have been used extensively in the field of developmental biology. To detect quail cells more easily and to detect cellular processes of quail cells in quail-chick chimeras, we generated four monoclonal antibodies (MAb) specific to some quail tissues.

Paraborg: Paramedic Cyborg Insects for In Situ Emergency Drug‐Delivery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work introduces Paraborg, a human‐supervised paramedic cyborg‐insect platform that combines controllable locomotion, onboard imaging, and an auto‐injection mechanism for in situ drug‐delivery. By demonstrating reliable navigation, target stabilization, injector launch, and multi‐insect teamwork, the study extends cyborg insects from survivor ...

Assembly of the Inner Perivitelline Layer, a Homo log of the Mammalian Zona Pellucida: An Immunohistochemical and Ultrastructural Study [PDF]

, 2011
The avian inner perivitelline layer (IPVL), a homologous structure to the mammalian zona pellucida, is deposited between the granulosa cells and the oocyte cell membrane during folliculogenesis. The glycoprotein meshwork of the IPVL forms a 3-dimensional

Receptogenesis in a Vascularized Robotic Embodiment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Functional augmentation of situated robots via ex novo hardware generation extends physical adaptability. Drawing inspiration from open circulatory systems for mass and function redistribution, this study presents a vascularized robotic composite exhibiting receptogenesis ‐ the on‐demand construction of sensors ‐ from internal fluid reserves based on ...

Environmental enrichment reduces behavioural alterations induced by chronic stress in Japanese quail

Animal, 2015
Animals perceiving repeated aversive events can become chronically stressed. Chronic activation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis can have deleterious consequences on physiological parameters (e.g.

TRPC3‐Driven Calcium Microdomains Instruct Peripheral Nerve Regeneration With Protective Implications for Central Neurons

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
How localized Ca2+ signals orchestrate neural repair remains unclear. Here, we show that TRPC3‐driven calcium microdomains direct nerve repair by coupling spatially confined Ca2+ signals to axon regeneration. This module operates in injured peripheral neurons and correlates with neuroprotection in Parkinson's disease, revealing a spatial logic for ...

Cloning and Expression of Cellular Glutathione Peroxidase (GPX1) in Japanese Quail (Coturnix japonica)

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2009
Glutathione peroxidase 1 (cellular glutathione peroxidase, EC 1.11.1.9 (GPX1)) is an antioxidant enzyme that plays an important role in scavenging reactive oxygen species to protect cells from oxidative damage.
