Fruit use and fruit processing by euphonias, specialized avian frugivores

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Euphonias (Neotropical passerines in the genera Euphonia and Chlorophonia) form the quintessential example of a specialized avian frugivore, combining a high reliance on fruit as food and the restriction of fruit taxa exploited. To understand their specialization, we explored the integration of fruit morphological and nutritional traits with their ...

Thermal Management and Mechanical Properties of Epoxy‐Sandwich Composites Containing Microencapsulated Phase Change Material

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of a multifunctional sandwich composite consisting of face sheets and a PCM‐filled epoxy foam core, combining structural performance with thermal energy storage capability. ABSTRACT In this work, epoxy (EP) foams containing 10, 20, and 30 wt% of microencapsulated phase change materials (PCMs) were developed as potential cores ...

Microstructure–Mechanical Response Relationship in Discontinuous Fiber‐Reinforced SMC Composites: Damage Mechanisms

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Architecture of SMC composites. ABSTRACT The mechanical performance of sheet molding compounds (SMCs) is dependent on microstructural characteristics determined by material composition and processing conditions. The study investigates standard SMCs, advanced SMCs (A‐SMCs), and low‐density SMCs (LD‐SMCs) under quasi‐static and fatigue loading to ...

Thin Fluoride Insulators for Improved 2D Transistors: From Deposition Methods to Recent Applications

open access: yesphysica status solidi (RRL) – Rapid Research Letters, EarlyView.
2D materials hold significant promise for next‐generation electronic and optoelectronic devices, but suitable gate dielectrics are still a challenge. Fluoride insulators, offering inert, dangling‐bond‐free surfaces, have recently emerged as strong candidates. This review covers recent publications on high‐quality fluoride thin‐film deposition and their

The Neuroprotective Effect of a Waste Byproduct Obtained From Pomegranate (Punica granatum)

open access: yesPhytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
The Effect of a Waste Byproduct Obtained From Pomegranate on Neurodegeneration. ABSTRACT Pomegranate is an exceptional fruit that can have several beneficial effects on human health. The peel of pomegranate, a waste product, should be recovered as it still contains valuable constituents, including phenolic compounds, minerals and fibre. The recovery of

“There Are Places Full of Beauty”: Desettling High School Students' Scientific Writing

open access: yesScience Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study contributes to desettling and expanding expectations about the forms of scientific language that belong in students' scientific writing. The primary empirical focus is the analysis of 52 high school student abstracts articulating community‐based investigations, submitted as part of their participation in a student conference in a ...

Robust Bioconjugated Antigens Induce Immune Responses Preventing Malaria Infection and its Transmission

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Engineered malaria antigens enable in vivo bioconjugation to submicron biopolymer particles in E. coli. Two antigens are co‐tethered at high density and defined stoichiometry. The resulting thermostable particles elicit strong, durable antibody and T‐cell responses, conferring robust protection and blocking mosquito transmission.
