Turning Light Into Matter: Programmable Microstructures Via Dose Control in Two‐Photon Polymerization

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
This work augments two‐photon polymerization with point‐wise dose control, enabling structures with heterogeneous material properties such as refractive index. An open source toolbox and superior calibration methodology for the refractive index pave the way for bio‐mimicking or numerically optimized structure designs, and enhance the synergy between 3D

Multiobjective Codesign Optimization of a Planar Pneumatic Artificial Muscle‐Based Snake‐Like Robot for Enhanced Agility and Energy Efficiency

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A codesign multiobjective optimization framework was developed to enhance the morphology and controller of a snake‐like robot driven by artificial muscles. It improved planar locomotion, agility, and power efficiency. The approach optimized link geometry and controller gains, revealing that shorter muscles near joints and longer linkages maximize ...

Optimization based on symbiotic multi-species coevolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
This paper presents a general optimization model gleaned ideas from the coevolution of symbiotic species in natural ecosystems. Species extinction and speciation events are also considered in this model to tie it closer to natural evolution, as well as ...

Peculiarities of symbiotic and non-symbiotic reproduction of orchids

open access: yesІнтродукція Рослин, 2010
The one of well developed methods of reproduction of orchids is seed reproduction in vitro. Two methods – symbiotic and non-symbiotic – are common for seed germination of Orchidaceae in sterile culture. Large experience in orchids reproduction is accumulated and numerous theoretical and practical studies of orchids reproduction are conducted, but ...

Underground Signals: The Ecological Power of Root Volatiles

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Root volatiles mediate rhizosphere chemical communication, shaping interactions among plants, microbes, herbivores, and natural enemies. Their production, transport, and perception underpin ecological adaptation, multitrophic interactions, and plant resilience, offering opportunities for sustainable crop protection, resilient agroecosystems, and ...

Ambrosiella roeperi: An Unreported Fungus Isolated from Ambrosia Beetles

open access: yes한국균학회지
In this study, ambrosia beetles were collected using insect traps in Gunwi-gun, Daegu-si, South Korea, to investigate symbiotic fungi associated with beetles. Fungi were isolated from the collected beetles.

The Symbiotics as Binary Stars [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1982
AbstractSymbiotic stars have become an important testing ground of various theories of binary star evolution. Several physically different models can explain them, but in each case certain fairly restrictive conditions must be met, so if we manage to identify a definite object with a model, it will tell us a lot about the structure and evolutionary ...
