Electrospun Core–Shell Bioadhesive Nanofiber Sheets Enable Durable Pulmonary Air Leak Sealing Under Wet and Dynamic Conditions

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A core–shell electrospun nanofiber sheet provides strong adhesion and durable sealing on the wet and dynamic lung surface. The engineered fibrous architecture maintains airtight integrity and offers a potential alternative to fibrin sealants for pulmonary air leak management in thoracic surgery.

Spray Deposition and Coverage in Potato and Brussels Sprouts Using Drift-Reducing Spray Configurations

Agronomy
In dense or structurally complex canopies, spray applications often fail to adequately reach the specific plant sites where pest organisms reside, typically the lower canopy and abaxial leaf surfaces. An additional challenge is balancing drift mitigation

How much does malaria vector control quality matter: the epidemiological impact of holed nets and inadequate indoor residual spraying.

PLoS ONE, 2011
BackgroundInsecticide treated nets (ITN) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) are the two pillars of malaria vector control in Africa, but both interventions are beset by quality and coverage concerns.

Development and assessment of a novel single-drive variable angle spraying machine

Scientific Reports
Traditional sprayers are limited to applying spray mixture solely to the upper surfaces of crops. To overcome this limitation, a variable angle spraying machine (VASM) was designed using a linkage system.
