Naturalistic stimulation changes the dynamic response of action potential encoding in a mechanoreceptor

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2015
Naturalistic signals were created from vibrations made by locusts walking on a Sansevieria plant. Both naturalistic and Gaussian noise signals were used to mechanically stimulate VS-3 slit-sense mechanoreceptor neurons of the spider, Cupiennius salei ...

Hierarchically MOF‐Based Porous Monolith Composites for Atmospheric Water Harvesting

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review explores the design of hierarchical porous materials for atmospheric water harvesting, focusing on metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) and porous monoliths. Emphasis is placed on integrating MOF nanoscale porosity with the microscale channels of monolithic scaffolds to enhance sorption‐desorption performance.

Phase retrieval via regularization in self-diffraction based spectral interferometry

open access: yes, 2014
A novel variant of spectral phase interferometry for direct electric-field reconstruction (SPIDER) is introduced and experimentally demonstrated. Other than most previously demonstrated variants of SPIDER, our method is based on a third-order nonlinear ...

Learning in Spiders [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Zoologist, 1969
After the spider, Zygiella x-notata Cl. has been enticed to leave the retreat and catch a fly in a web turned upside-down, it takes a relatively long time to return to the retreat. The return-time is divided into periods of active searching and motionlessness.

Unperceivable Designs of Wearable Electronics

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Unperceivable wearable technologies seamlessly integrate into everyone's daily life, for healthcare and Internet‐of‐Things applications. By remaining completely unnoticed both visually and tactilely, by the user and others, they ensure medical privacy and allow natural social interactions.

The brown spider Loxosceles similis (Araneae: Sicariidae): complete mitochondrial genome sequence

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
The Brazilian brown spider Loxosceles similis (Moenkhaus, 1898) is, like others from the same genus, an arachnid that can cause serious accidents, which is called loxoscelism.
