The Role of Cold Atmospheric Plasma in Surface Modification and Adhesion Behavior of Polypropylene/Flax Biocomposites

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Effects of plasma surface treatment on adhesive bonding of PP/flax biocomposites. ABSTRACT The emphasis on environmental sustainability has accelerated the adoption of biocomposites as alternatives to synthetic composites. However, their low surface energy may limit adhesion in bonding applications.

Exploring Suicide Prevention Gatekeeper Interventions for Schools: A Scoping Review

Psychology in the Schools, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Among teenagers and young adults, suicide represents a significant public health challenge. Schools are critical for suicide prevention due to the significant time adolescents spend there. Gatekeeper training (GKT) has shown promise in increasing awareness and knowledge, but its implementation‑relevant characteristics and contextual

Riverine Migration Success of Salmonid Smolts Following Their Entrainment in a Hydropower Off‐Channel Diversion in an Upland River

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Salmonid fishes typically express anadromy. During their juvenile riverine emigration, their downstream movements can be inhibited by hydropower schemes that entrain fish in their intakes. Here, the riverine migration success of smolts of brown trout Salmo trutta (“trout smolt”) and Atlantic salmon Salmo salar smolts (“salmon smolt”) was ...

Programmed unmanned aerial vehicles show great potential for monitoring marine megafauna in specific areas of interest

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Targeted conservation measures are contingent on robust knowledge of spatio‐temporal animal distribution in areas of interest. We explore unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) transect monitoring as a novel method for standardized digital aerial surveys of marine megafauna by investigating the fine‐resolution spatio‐temporal distribution of harbour porpoises ...

Memristors Based on Ferroelectric Cu‐Deficient Copper Indium Thiophosphate for Multilevel Storage and Neuromorphic Computing

Small, EarlyView.
Different from CIPS with threshold switching behaviors, Cu‐deficient CIPS* shows stable non‐volatile digital and analog RS. Owing to the formation of metallic IPS at the LRS, CIPS* memristors demonstrate high ON/OFF ratio and endurance stability, which can be utilized to implement multilevel storage.
