Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita as a Control Agent for Slugs

open access: yes, 2015
While there has been intense study on entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) by numerous research groups throughout the world, there has been much less work on nematodes that can control slugs.

Directed percolation describes lifetime and growth of turbulent puffs and slugs. [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical review. E, Statistical, nonlinear, and soft matter physics, 2011
We show that directed percolation (DP) simulations in a pipe geometry in 3+1 dimensions capture the observed complex phenomenology of the transition to turbulence. At low Reynolds numbers (Re), turbulent puffs form and spontaneously relaminarize. At high

What Do Large Language Models Know About Materials?

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
If large language models (LLMs) are to be used inside the material discovery and engineering process, they must be benchmarked for the accurateness of intrinsic material knowledge. The current work introduces 1) a reasoning process through the processing–structure–property–performance chain and 2) a tool for benchmarking knowledge of LLMs concerning ...

Assessment of the Biological Control Potential of Common Carabid Beetle Species for Autumn- and Winter-Active Pests (Gastropoda, Lepidoptera, Diptera: Tipulidae) in Annual Ryegrass in Western Oregon

open access: yesInsects, 2020
While carabid beetles have been shown to feed on a variety of crop pests, little is known about their species assemblages in US annual ryegrass crops, where invertebrate pests, particularly slugs, lepidopteran larvae and craneflies, incur major financial

Additive Manufacturing of Continuous Fibre Reinforced Composites: Process, Characterisation, Modelling, and Sustainability

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Additive manufacturing provides precise control over the placement of continuous fibres within polymer matrices, enabling customised mechanical performance in composite components. This article explores processing strategies, mechanical testing, and modelling approaches for additive manufactured continuous fibre‐reinforced composites.

A second record of Selenochlamys (Stylommatophora: Trigonochlamydidae) from Crimea [PDF]

open access: yesMalacologica Bohemoslovaca, 2015
A live specimen of Selenochlamys was collected in a cave on the Ai-Petri massif of the Crimean Mountains in 2014. It is described and compared with the first Crimean specimen that was collected in 1989 on the Babugan massif.

Is ftsH the Key to Plastid Longevity in Sacoglossan Slugs?

open access: yesGenome Biology and Evolution, 2013
Plastids sequestered by sacoglossan sea slugs have long been a puzzle. Some sacoglossans feed on siphonaceous algae and can retain the plastids in the cytosol of their digestive gland cells.

A Lightweight Procedural Layer for Hybrid Experimental–Computational Workflows in Materials Science

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
We unveil a prototype hybrid‐workflow framework that fuses automatedcomputation with hands‐on experiments. Built atop pyiron, a lightweight, parameterized layer translates procedure descriptions into executable manual steps, syncing instrument settings, human interventions, and data capture in real‐time today.

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

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

Prey species and abundance affect growth and photosynthetic performance of the polyphagous sea slug Elysia crispata

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2023
Some sacoglossan sea slugs steal functional macroalgal chloroplasts (kleptoplasts). In this study, we investigated the effects of algal prey species and abundance on the growth and photosynthetic capacity of the tropical polyphagous sea slug Elysia ...
