Hydrogel‐Based Airway‐on‐Tube With Perfusable Endothelial Lumen and Outward Epithelialization

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A hydrogel‐based airway‐on‐tube platform featuring a perfusable endothelial lumen and outward epithelialization is presented. The system supports primary human bronchial epithelial and lung microvascular endothelial coculture under air‐liquid interface conditions.

Dial organic carbon fluctuations in a mangrove tidal creek in Sepetiba bay, Southeast Brazil

Brazilian Journal of Biology
The carbon (C) concentration and flux, as dissolved organic carbon (DOC), particulate organic carbon (POC) and macrodetritus (MD), were quantified through 4 tidal cycles in a mangrove tidal creek in Southeastern Brazil.

Scale and intensity of intertidal habitat use by knots Calidris canutus in the Western Wadden Sea in relation to food, friends and foes [PDF]

, 1993
In August-October 1988-1992 we studied the distribution and abundance of knots Calidris canutus around Griend in the western Wadden Sea, and the extent to which these can be explained by benthic prey availability and presence of avian predators.

Rational Tuning of Hygroscopic Oscillation of Stacked Nanoflake Assemblies for Continuous Ambient Energy Harvesting

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Stacked nanoflake assembly (SNA) membranes can oscillate autonomously, offering opportunities for soft actuation and energy harvesting. This work uncovers the physical mechanism behind the sustained oscillation of SNA membranes in gradient humidity and identifies three governing dimensionless parameters, enabling rational design for optimizing SNA ...

Dancing with the tides: fluctuations of coastal phytoplankton orchestrated by different oscillatory modes of the tidal cycle. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Population fluctuations are often driven by an interplay between intrinsic population processes and extrinsic environmental forcing. To investigate this interplay, we analyzed fluctuations in coastal phytoplankton concentration in relation to the tidal ...

Experimental assessment of tidal turbine loading from irregular waves over a tidal cycle [PDF]

Journal of Ocean Engineering and Marine Energy, 2019
Waves interact with currents in tidal channels with the resulting wave–current environment largely determining the loads experienced by tidal stream turbines. Over a tidal cycle, the magnitude and direction of the current velocity changes and hence so does the combined wave–current conditions the turbines must operate within.

Buckling‐Driven Linearity in Flexible Capacitive Pressure Sensors Based on a Three‐Dimensional Dual‐Pore Polyurethane Structure

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A flexible pressure sensor utilizing a 3D dual‐pore polyurethane structure is developed to overcome the intrinsic trade‐off between sensitivity and linearity. By inducing sequential buckling through distinct pore sizes and shapes, the device achieves highly linear and sensitive responses across a wide pressure range.

Estimating the use of tidal flats by waders: inaccuracies due to the response of birds to the tidal cycle [PDF]

Bird Study, 2006
Capsule Low tide counts may give inaccurate estimates of habitat use; combining low and mid-tide counts yields better estimates. Aims To evaluate whether low tide bird counts provide a good estimate of habitat use of intertidal areas with different exposure periods, to analyse how differences in the response of the birds to the tidal movement ...

A comprehensive analysis of tidal notches in the Mediterranean Sea

, 2015
Recent works (Evelpidou et al., 2012) suggest that the modern tidal notch is disappearing worldwide due sea level rise over the last century. In order to assess this hypothesis, we measured modern tidal notches in several of sites along the Mediterranean
