EndoTac presents a trocar‐compatible endoscopic vision‐based tactile sensor that uses a convex mirror to enlarge side‐facing tactile coverage during minimally invasive vessel palpation. Distorted tactile images are unwarped and processed by a learning model to estimate vascular deformation, enabling sensitive, spatially distributed tactile perception ...

Agroforestry Price Supports as a Conservation Tool: Mexican Shade Coffee [PDF]
Economic policies that boost the return to mixed agroforesty, thereby creating financial incentives for land managers to favor these systems over less environmentally friendly land uses, could, in theory, have ancillary environmental benefits. This paper

Toward High‐Resolution Polymeric Neural Interfaces: A Practical Guide for Electron Beam Lithography
Electron beam lithography (EBL) enables sub‐micron patterning of polymer‐based neural implants, overcoming the resolution limits of optical lithography. By addressing challenges such as charging, non‐planarity, and substrate heating, it supports higher channel density, improved miniaturization, and better long‐term tissue integration.

Artificial Intelligence‐Guided Phenotypic Drug Repurposing Against Streptococcus pneumoniae
Integrated artificial intelligence (AI) ensembles identify highly potent repurposed drugs against Streptococcus pneumoniae. Prospective virtual screening of 6747 drugs uncovers nine active candidates, including thiostrepton. This drug exhibits low picomolar potency and bypasses established resistance in multidrug‐resistant strains, demonstrating an ...

Performance Estimation and Ex Vivo Validation of Untethered Magnetic Robots in Soft Tissue
This study presents an empirical model that quantitatively predicts the step‐out frequency of screw‐type untethered magnetic robots (UMRs) in soft viscoelastic environments, including ex vivo brain tissue. By integrating key parameters into a dimensionless framework, the model enables estimation of robot performance across a range of biological ...

Spatially Encoded Protocell Network for Non‐Cascaded Parallel Biocomputation
A non‐cascaded, hydrogel‐based proteinosome computational platform is developed, in which redox‐responsive proteinosomes serve as local computing units within a shared reaction–diffusion field. Reductant inputs, countered by an auxiliary glucose gradient, regulate spatially patterned proteinosome disruption, and generate population‐level boundaries ...

Testing two measures of shade tolerance in a mesic forest in southeast Texas
I used sapling demographic data to investigate the relationship between shade tolerance and parameter estimates of a mortality-growth model and a height-diameter model. The study site is at Wier Woods, a mesic forest in southeast Texas.
