Water-use dynamics of an alien-invaded riparian forest within the summer rainfall zone of South Africa [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2019
In South Africa the invasion of riparian forests by alien trees has the potential to affect the country's limited water resources. Tree water-use measurements have therefore become an important component of recent hydrological studies.

Variations in water use by a mature mangrove of Avicennia germinans, French Guiana [PDF]

, 2009
In the tropical intertidal zones, little is known on water uptake by mangroves. Transpiration rates are generally measured at leaf level, but few studies exist on water use at tree or stand levels.

Extending periodic eddy covariance latent heat fluxes through tree sap-flow measurements to estimate long-term total evaporation in a peat swamp forest [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2015
A combination of measurement and modelling was used to find a pragmatic solution to estimate the annual total evaporation from the rare and indigenous Nkazana Peat Swamp Forest (PSF) on the east coast of Southern Africa to improve the water balance ...

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.

Effects of long‐term nitrogen addition on water use by Cunninghamia lanceolate in a subtropical plantation

Ecosphere, 2022
The deposition of reactive nitrogen (N) has substantially increased in subtropical regions due to human activities. However, the effects of long‐term N addition on the water‐use efficiency of subtropical forests are poorly understood.

Real-time imaging of pulvinus bending in Mimosa pudica [PDF]

, 2019
Mimosa pudica is a plant that rapidly shrinks its body in response to external stimuli. M. pudica does not perform merely simple movements, but exhibits a variety of movements that quickly change depending on the type of stimuli.

Bioprinted Tumor Microenvironment Models Reveal Immune Evasion and Guide CAR‐NK Therapeutic Strategies

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a 3D embedded bioprinting platform that recapitulates key stromal features of the tumor microenvironment using fibroblasts and lung‐derived ECM. The model enables functional assessment of CAR‐NK cells and provides a versatile tool to support the development of next‐generation immunotherapeutic strategies against solid tumors ...

Making Sweat Measurable: Induction, Sampling, and Refreshment in Wearable Biofluid Sensing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Wearable sweat sensing relies not only on chemical detection but also on controlled biofluid management. This Review integrates sweat physiology, induction strategies, and microfluidic sampling architectures, demonstrating how flux, transport, and refreshment shape measurement reliability.
