Analysis of Coupled Response Characteristics of NAI Release and Stem Flow in Four Urban Greening Tree Species in Beijing During Drought Stress and Recovery Processes

Plants
Negative air ions (NAI) represent an important ecological value indicator for green tree species. Flow of sap is a crucial indicator for water utilization and physiological state of trees.

Biodegradable and Recyclable Luminescent Mixed‐Matrix‐Membranes, Hydrogels, and Cryogels based on Nanoscale Metal‐Organic Frameworks and Biopolymers

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The study presents biodegradable and recyclable mixed‐matrix membranes (MMMs), hydrogels, and cryogels using luminescent nanoscale metal‐organic frameworks (nMOFs) and biopolymers. These bio‐nMOF‐MMMs combine europium‐based nMOFs as probes for the status of the materials with the biopolymers agar and gelatine and present alternatives to conventional ...

Daily variations of water use with vapor pressure deficit in a plantation of I214 poplars. [PDF]

, 2009
Daily rates of whole tree water use were measured in a homogeneous 7-year-old plantation over 84 days. Two trees were selected in the two most contrasting ends, i.e., with mean water table at -1.5 m and -3.5 m. Results showed that the mean tree water use

Cell Adhesion by Design: Engineering Tissue Culture Scaffolds With Adhesion Cues

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In scaffold‐based tissue engineering, the matrix should provide adequate adhesion cues for cell attachment, spreading, and function. Given the multitude of adhesion receptors and the diversity of scaffolds, there are many approaches to render scaffolds adhesive, even though they are not all equivalent.

Water uptake by trees in a riparian hardwood forest (Rhine floodplain, France) [PDF]

, 2008
Water flow in the soil–root–stem system was studied in a flooded riparian hardwood forest in the upper Rhine floodplain. The study was undertaken to identify the vertical distribution of water uptake by trees in a system where the groundwater is at a ...

Ribbonized sap flow: an emerging technology for the integration of sap flow sensor components onto a single platform [PDF]

Ecosphere, 2020
AbstractTrees play an important role in both the water and carbon cycles. Sensors that measure the flow rate of sap in individual trees provide critical insight into water use dynamics, and these data are vital for the understanding of ecosystem functions.

Bioelectrical Interfaces Beyond Excitable Cells: Cancer, Aging, and Gene Expression Modulation

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The investigation of biological conductivity has evolved from its classical foundation based on ionic fluxes underpinning cardiac and neuronal excitability to a multifaceted regulator of cellular physiology. Traditional approaches for probing electrical events in living matter focused largely on action potentials recording.

Sap flow, leaf-level gas exchange and spectral responses to drought in Pinus sylvestris, Pinus pinea and Pinus halepensis [PDF]

, 2016
In a climate change scenario, Mediterranean forest species such as pines may be endangered by rising temperatures and reduced precipitation, thus calling for studies on the transpiration and water balance in pines.

Dual‐Functional Ingestible Passive Capsules for High‐Throughput Intestinal Sampling with Sealed Containment and Targeted Drug Delivery

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
To address challenges in high‐throughput intestinal sampling with sealed containment and target drug delivery, we developed a dual‐functional ingestible passive capsule with a dual‐triggered control system based on pH‐response and mechanical actuation.

Monitoring of sap flow, leaf water potential, stomatal conductance, and latex yield of rubber trees under irrigation management [PDF]

Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2008
To investigate the physiological responses and latex yield of rubber trees under irrigation management, an experiment was established at Songkhla Province, southern Thailand. The sap flow of rubber trees was measured by heat-pulse technique.
