Reintroduction of Curly Birch

Lesnoy Zhurnal (Forestry Journal), 2022
The paper offers a systematic overview of the results of research regarding reintroduction of curly (Karelian) birch Betula pendula Roth var. carelica (Mercklin) Hämet-Ahti published by Russian and foreign authors over the past few decades. We briefly outline the current situation with its resources and the key causes of their decline in the late 20th –

The Microstructure and High‐temperature Cycle Oxidation Mechanism of the Nickel‐Based Superalloy Surface Treated by Laser Shock Processing and Ion Implantation at 1100 °C

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Laser shock processingcombination with Hf ion implantation results in dual modification on the surface of GH202 nickel‐based superalloy, which induces a large number of crystal defects, providing channels for the diffusion of metal cations. Hf ion implantation forms an amorphous HfO2 layer.

Multiplexed Luminal Tissue Constructs with Reconfigurable Barriers for Dynamic Modeling of Multi‐Tissue Interactions

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This study describes the fabrication of arrays of luminal tissue constructs for 3D luminal tissue modeling. An oil or media‐filled reservoir between constructs serves as a liquid barrier or bridge to regulate communication between lumens within the array for modeling multi‐tissue interactions in vitro. Abstract Cell‐lined luminal structures are crucial

Seasonal variations in food plant preferences of reintroduced Rhinos Rhinoceros unicornis (Mammalia: Perrissodactyla: Rhinocerotidae) in Manas National Park, Assam, India

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2016
The food preferences of translocated Rhinos in Manas National Park were studied to find out variations in seasonal and annual preferences.  A total of 139 plants species belonging to 39 families were observed to be consumed as food.

Two‐Photon Polymerized Microvascular Environments for Multicellular Modeling of the Blood–Brain Tumor Barrier

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Modeling the blood–brain tumor barrier is challenging due to complex interactions between brain microvasculature and glioma cells. We present two‐photon polymerized 3D micro‐porous capillary‐like structures that support endothelial alignment, cytoskeletal organization, and pericyte‐endothelial‐glioma tri‐cultures.

An Efficient Diamond Raman Amplification Scheme Based on Adaptive Temporal Synchronization

Advanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.
This work reveals an adaptive temporal synchronization effect in delayed diamond Raman amplification, where the Stokes pulse shifts toward the fundamental peak. A periodic amplification scheme based on this phenomenon enables efficient pump recycling and enhanced energy conversion, offering a robust, delay‐tolerant strategy for advanced nonlinear ...

Multiobjective Codesign Optimization of a Planar Pneumatic Artificial Muscle‐Based Snake‐Like Robot for Enhanced Agility and Energy Efficiency

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A codesign multiobjective optimization framework was developed to enhance the morphology and controller of a snake‐like robot driven by artificial muscles. It improved planar locomotion, agility, and power efficiency. The approach optimized link geometry and controller gains, revealing that shorter muscles near joints and longer linkages maximize ...
