The “Slugs-test” for extrusion-based additive manufacturing: Protocol, analysis and practical limits
Cement and Concrete Composites, 2021 This paper introduces a novel rheological technique allowing for the assessment of printable materials yield stress at nozzle exit in the case of extrusion-based 3D printing. This technique is derived from the analysis of the specific gravity-induced non-

Development of an Optical System Based on Spectral Imaging Used for a Slug Control Robot
Horticulturae, 2022 The state-of-the-art technique to control slug pests in agriculture is the spreading of slug pellets. This method has some downsides, because slug pellets also harm beneficials and often fail because their efficiency depends on the prevailing weather ...

Recolonization by Slugs: Vertical and Horizontal Dispersal by the Field Slug, Deroceras reticulatum
Insects, 2021 Following treatment with molluscicides or other controls, slugs can recolonize a site very quickly, but the proportion of the colonizing slugs moving from adjacent areas (horizontal dispersal) and the proportion from within the soil (vertical dispersal ...

Surface Characterization of Metallic Fuel Slugs Prepared by Modified Injection Casting [PDF]
Archives of Metallurgy and Materials, 2018 Metallic fuel slugs containing rare-earth (RE) elements have high reactivity with quartz (SiO2) molds, and a reaction layer with a considerable thickness is formed at the surface of metallic fuel slugs. The surface characterization of metallic fuel slugs

Influence of aromatic substances on locomotor activity of Deroceras agreste slugs
Regulatory Mechanisms in Biosystems, 2022 The global climate changes are causing an increase in the number and harmfulness of slugs. Deroceras agreste (Linnaeus, 1758) (Stylommatophora, Agriolimacidae) is a polyphagous phytophage that damages over 150 species of plants, including many vegetables,

Fungal spore transport by omnivorous mycophagous slug in temperate forest
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Slugs are important consumers of fungal fruiting bodies and expected to carry their spores. In this study, we examined whether slugs (Meghimatium fruhstorferi) can act as effective dispersers of spores of basidiomycetes.
