Ion-imprinted polymer-based sensors for toxic metal-ion detection in water: coordination chemistry, transduction strategies, and environmental applications

Frontiers in Chemistry
Toxic metal contamination in aquatic environments remains a persistent threat to human health and ecosystems. Yet, the high cost, infrastructure demands, and centralized nature of conventional analytical methods constrain routine monitoring.

Humane management of captive muskoxen

Rangifer, 1992
Agriculture Canada has supervised muskoxen harvests in the Canadian Arctic since 1985. In early 1991 a management system was empolyed that involved penning of large herds (up to 200 head) and feeding in confinement for several days before slaughter.

Livestock Handling at the Abattoir: Effects on Welfare and Meat Quality

Meat and Muscle Biology, 2020
Low-stress handling that uses behavioral principles can help reduce bruises and improve meat quality in cattle, pigs, and sheep. Short-term stressors before stunning, such as electric prod use or jamming in the race, may increase Pale, Soft, Exudative ...

Ultrafast visual detection of Streptococcus suis via HtpsC‐targeted LAMP–CRISPR–Cas12a coupled with lateral flow immunochromatography

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
A rapid visual test combines DNA amplification, CRISPR–based target verification, and a lateral flow strip to detect Streptococcus suis. The assay gives results in about 45 min, reduces false‐positive interpretation, and does not require fluorescence equipment.

3D‐Printed Titanium Gyroid Scaffold Structure Integrated With Tough Hybrid Materials for Cartilage Replacement

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study proposes a potential device design for joint cartilage replacement. Silica‐polytetrahydrofuran (SiO2‐PolyTHF) hybrids with customizable mechanical properties were developed to mimic the characteristics of a natural meniscus. These were synthesized through a two‐pot sol–gel hybrid process.

ChicGrasp: Imitation‐Learning‐Based Customized Dual‐Jaw Gripper Control for Manipulation of Delicate, Irregular Bio‐Products

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Automated poultry processing lines still rely on humans to lift slippery, easily bruised carcasses onto a shackle conveyor. Deformability, anatomical variance, and hygiene rules make conventional suction and scripted motions unreliable. We present ChicGrasp, an end‐to‐end hardware‐software co‐designed imitation learning framework, to offer a ...

L’adéquation animaux-machines, un facteur de convergence entre production et protection animale en abattoir

Géographie et Cultures, 2020
Mandatory since the mid-1960s, "humanitarian" methods of slaughtering farmed animals became widespread in French slaughterhouses in the second half of the 20th century, in parallel with the meat market modernization process.

Bacteria‐Derived 1‐Allylpiperazine Alleviates Symptoms of Parkinson's Disease Model by Promoting Autophagy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Parkinson's disease currently has no disease‐modifying therapies. In Caenorhabditis elegans, Escherichia coli E8 alleviates α‐synuclein‐provoked PD‐related defects through its bioactive metabolite 1‐ALPP, which combats PD by triggering AMPK/mTOR/HLH‐30‐dependent autophagy and suppressing α‐synuclein LLPS‐mediated fibrillization.
