Identification of African swine fever virus-like elements in the soft tick genome provides insights into the virus’ evolution

BMC Biology, 2020
Background African swine fever virus (ASFV) is a most devastating pathogen affecting swine. In 2007, ASFV was introduced into Eastern Europe where it continuously circulates and recently reached Western Europe and Asia, leading to a socio-economic crisis

Revealing the Ion Regulation Effect of Zwitterionic All‐Solid‐State Electrolytes in Lithium Metal Batteries

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates zwitterionic all‐solid‐state electrolytes, demonstrating strong carboxyl‐Li+ interaction that forms “ion‐enrichment pathway”‐like domains and manipulates Li+ deposition. Additionally, surface‐enriched zwitterions generate a dual‐layer SEI with an inner Li2O‐rich and outer LiF‐rich structure. Through ionic flux regulation and SEI

African swine fever virus – the possible role of flies and other insects in virus transmission

Journal of Veterinary Research, 2020
African swine fever (ASF) is an acute viral haemorrhagic disease of pigs and wild boars. It presents a serious threat to pig production worldwide, and since 2007, ASF outbreaks have been recorded in the Caucasus, Eastern Europe, and the Baltic States. In

Self‐Adhesive Conductive Elastomers for Gel‐Free Biopotential Recording

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
σPOMaC, a self‐adhesive conductive citrate elastomer incorporating PEDOT:PSS and DBSA, enables gel‐free biopotential electrodes with stable conductivity and intrinsic skin adhesion. The composite exhibits low resistivity (∼ 0.02 Ω·cm), robust electrical performance during repeated use, and reliable on‐body ECG acquisition comparable to Ag/AgCl ...

The impact of the Russia–Ukraine war on stock prices, profits and perceptions in the food supply chain

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract The Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 had profound consequences for the global economy. As both countries are major commodity exporters, the food value chain was also affected. This study investigates the impact of the invasion on stock prices, profitability and sentiments of agribusinesses along the food supply chain by using an ...

Pre‐Curved Everting Robots With Embedded Steering Intelligence Fabricated by CO2 Laser Welding

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Design and experimental demonstration of a laser welded growing robot for anatomically guided navigation. The robot follows an aortic arch phantom entering the branchiocephalic branch through steering by design. The figure shows the physical phantom setup, CAD defined weld geometry and full robot eversion.

Evolution, expansion and expression of the Kunitz/BPTI gene family associated with long-term blood feeding in Ixodes Scapularis

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012
Background Recent studies of the tick saliva transcriptome have revealed the profound role of salivary proteins in blood feeding. Kunitz/BPTI proteins are abundant in the salivary glands of ticks and perform multiple functions in blood feeding, such as ...

A Fixed‐Charge Interphase Synchronizes Ion Transport to Suppress Space‐Charge‐Driven Inefficiency Under Nanoliter Confinement

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Electrochemical energy storage breaks down under extreme miniaturization, where interfaces and space‐charge dominate device behavior. This work introduces a fixed‐charge selective interphase (FCSI) integrated into a twin‐tube micro‐Swiss‐roll architecture.
