Heterobranch sea slugs (Mollusca: Gastropoda) from Ascension Island, South Atlantic Ocean [PDF]

, 2017
The small volcanic island of Ascension is situated in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean, more than 1500 km from the coast of Africa, its nearest continental area. To date, eight 'opisthobranch' species were reported from the island. As a result of a

First records of two slug species, Limax conemenosi (O. Boettger, 1882) and Limax dacampi (Menegazzi, 1855) (Gastropoda: Limacidae) in Slovenia

Natura Sloveniae
In Slovenia, 27 species of slugs have been confirmed so far. Distributional data for two species from the genus Limax new for the country are presented herewith.

Dynamic Current Routing in Conductive Liquid Crystal Elastomers for Complex Deformation Actuators

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This work introduces a novel actuation control strategy in which electrical stimulation generates localized Joule heating in conductive liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) surfaces, enabling complex 3D deformations from a single homogeneous surface without preprogramming.

Organic slug control using Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita [PDF]

, 2006
Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita is a lethal slug parasitic nematode that has been formulated into an effective biological control agent called Nemaslug®. We investigated the possibility of using different application methods of P.

Comparing functional similarity between a native and an alien slug in temperate rain forests of British Columbia

NeoBiota, 2015
The impacts of invasive alien species are greatest when they become dominant members of a community, introduce novel traits, and displace native species.

Elucidating the Mechanism behind the Enhancement of Persistent Luminescence in ZnGa2O4: Cr3+ Nanoparticles upon H2O2 Exposure

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Persistent luminescence (PersL) materials exhibit prolonged emission of light, lasting from seconds to hours after stopping the excitation. At the nanoscale, they have attracted considerable interest for applications in in vivo imaging, photodynamic therapy, and biosensing.

Slug Tracking Simulation Of Severe Slugging Experiments

, 2011
Experimental data from an atmospheric air/water terrain slugging case has been made available by the Shell Amsterdam research center, and has been subject to numerical simulation and comparison with a one-dimensional two-phase slug tracking simulator under development at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.

Identifying Physical Interactions in Contact‐Based Robot Manipulation for Learning from Demonstration

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Robots can learn manipulation tasks from human demonstrations. This work proposes a versatile method to identify the physical interactions that occur in a demonstration, such as sequences of different contacts and interactions with mechanical constraints.

Barcoding against a paradox? Combined molecular species delineations reveal multiple cryptic lineages in elusive meiofaunal sea slugs

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012
BackgroundMany marine meiofaunal species are reported to have wide distributions, which creates a paradox considering their hypothesized low dispersal abilities.
