Colony site selection in bank swallows [PDF]
Bank Swallow colony site selection was studied on a 6,129 hectare area in the Qu'Appelle Valley near Fort Qu'Appelle, Saskatchewan. Comparison of 60 banks used by Bank Swallows with the 349 unused sites showed that taller, vertical, more recently ...

Effects of DON injection on the real number of swallows triggered by SLN (or ST) stimulation.
The real number of swallows recorded is indicated as mean ± sem. For each dose of DON injected, mean values of swallows recorded at a time when a robust inhibitory effect of swallows was noted; except for 60ng/kg DON dose which did not modify the number ...

Sarcopenia has emerged as a major health challenge in the aging population. Developing a sustained‐release system for whey protein may enhance its effectiveness in mitigating sarcopenia. Herein, a novel “single‐protein particle encapsulation” (SPPE) system is developed to protect whey protein and control its release.

Grit ingestion by nestling Tree Swallows and House Wrens
We examined the stomach contents of 200 Tree Swallow (Tachycineta bicolor) and 187 House Wren (Troglodytes aedon) nestlings for grit. Grit, composed mainly of small stones, sand, and mollusk shells or fragments, was found in 35% of the swallow and 31 ...

Bio‐Inspired Internal Stress Engineering for Microscale Surface Cracking in Sensitive Strain Sensors
This study presents a bio‐inspired internal stress engineering strategy to fabricate highly sensitive crack‐based strain sensors. By harnessing the internal expansion energy of microspheres and the thickness‐dependent brittle‐to‐ductile transition of ultrathin gold films, tunable microscale cracks are generated.

Swallows Holding as It Is: The Distortion of National Muffler [PDF]
I like big ideas. The opportunity to work with them, and hopefully to add to them, is one of the joys of academic life. But perspective also is required. Not everything genuinely presents macro issues.

Inspired by the insect campaniform sensillum, a heterogeneous bilayer strain sensor is developed based on a unique impedance mismatch and three‐dimensional structural dynamic percolation strategy. The sensor enables real‐time multi‐joint teleoperation of three joints and the gripper using a six‐degree‐of‐freedom robotic‐arm platform.
