Efficiency of small mammal trapping in an Atlantic Forest fragmented landscape: the effects of trap type and position, seasonality and habitat

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Trapping methods can strongly influence the sampling of mammal communities. This study compared the efficiency of the capture of small mammals in Sherman traps in two positions (at ground level and in trees) and pitfall traps in a fragmented landscape ...

Analysis of Confinement in Dual Spherical-Tapered Ended Fiber Optical Trap

Applied Sciences, 2022
In dual-fiber optical traps, two counter-propagating laser beams emitted from opposing laser fibers trap and manipulate particles. We describe the operation and performance of a dual-fiber optical trap created using spherical-tapered ended fiber ...

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Quantum efficiency improvement of optical radiation trap-detectors

Semiconductor Physics, Quantum Electronics & Optoelectronics, 2019
The ways to increase the quantum efficiency of trap detectors of optical radiation have been discussed. Presented here has been a brief review of trap detectors, in which high quantum efficiency is ensured by their design.

Structural insights into lacto‐N‐biose I recognition by a family 32 carbohydrate‐binding module from Bifidobacterium bifidum

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Bifidobacterium bifidum establishes symbiosis with infants by metabolizing lacto‐N‐biose I (LNB) from human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). The extracellular multidomain enzyme LnbB drives this process, releasing LNB via its catalytic glycoside hydrolase family 20 (GH20) lacto‐N‐biosidase domain.

LONGSHORE TRANSPORT DETERMINED BY AN EFFICIENT TRAP

Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1982
The Nearshore Sediment Transport Study (NSTS), sponsored by the National Sea Grant Office included a field component to quantify the total longshore sediment transport relationship. This component was conducted at Santa Barbara, California and encompassed a period of eighteen months during which ten surveys were conducted.
