Toward Autonomous Self‐Healing in Soft Robotics: A Review and Perspective for Future Research

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
In this article, five different phases (damage detection, cleaning, damage closure, material healing, and healing assessment) are investigated to have an autonomous self‐healing at the system level with the focus on soft robotics. It delves into the importance of each phase, why and where they matter, and reviews relevant technologies that enable ...

The immune response to sand fly salivary proteins and its influence on Leishmania immunity

Frontiers in Immunology, 2012
Leishmaniasis is a vector-borne disease transmitted by bites of phlebotomine sand flies. During Leishmania transmission, sand fly saliva is co-inoculated with parasites into the skin of the mammalian host.

What’s behind a sand fly bite? The profound effect of sand fly saliva on host hemostasis, inflammation and immunity

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2014
Sand flies are blood-feeding insects and vectors of the Leishmania parasite. For many years, saliva of these insects has represented a gold mine for the discovery of molecules with anti-hemostatic and immuno-modulatory activities. Furthermore, proteins in sand fly saliva have been shown to be a potential vaccine against leishmaniasis and also markers ...

Autonomous Navigation of Bio‐Intelligent Cyborg Insect Based on Insect Visual Perception

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The bio‐intelligent cyborg insect (BCI) introduces a noninvasive ultraviolet‐based control method, leveraging natural sensory behaviors for adaptive navigation. By integrating biological and artificial intelligence, BCI minimizes habituation and enhances locomotion in complex environments.

PEMANFAATAN SLUDGE FLY ASH UNTUK PEMBUATAN PAVING BLOK [PDF]

, 2008
The waste of an industrial process that becomes serious problem is the increasingly accumulating sludge fly ash of PT Tjiwi Kimia. The sludge fly ash that physically resembles sand is used as an additive of sand in making paving blocks.

Was the abolition of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission an act of dispossession?

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
Abstract The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC) has been described as one of the most comprehensive regional and national governance structures for Indigenous people in Australia. This paper looks briefly at its operational life between 1990 and 2005 and focusses on its abolition, arguing that this was an act of dispossession. The

Ecuador Paraiso Escondido virus, a new flavivirus isolated from New World sand flies in Ecuador, is the first representative of a novel clade in the genus flavivirus [PDF]

, 2015
A new flavivirus, Ecuador Paraiso Escondido virus (EPEV), named after the village where it was discovered, was isolated from sand flies (Psathyromyia abonnenci, formerly Lutzomyia abonnenci) that are unique to the New World.

Polypropylene Composites Reinforced With Recycled Waste Cellulosic Fiber/Fine Mixture: The Impact of Cellulose Sieving on Performance

Journal of Advanced Manufacturing and Processing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explores how a sieving step of waste cellulosic fiber and fine (WCFF) mixture affects the performance of WCFF‐loaded polypropylene (PP) composites and whether the separation of fines from fibers offers an added benefit. The WCFF samples were downsized, and four different filler size ranges were sieved using a series of mesh sizes ...
