Lattice fence and hedge barriers around an apiary increase honey bee flight height and decrease stings to people nearby [PDF]

, 2014
Urban beekeeping is becoming more popular in the UK. One of the challenges faced by urban beekeepers is finding a suitable apiary location. Honey bees are often perceived as a nuisance, mainly due to their stinging behaviour. Here, we experimentally test

Investigation of the Effects of Strain and Electric Field on the Spin‐State Energetics of Co‐Doped BaTiO3 and PbTiO3

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Ab initio calculations using the r2SCAN functional show that biaxial strain does not alter the high spin preference of cobalt‐doped BaTiO3 and PbTiO3; a small compressive uniaxial strain however results in an equally favorable low spin state for BaTiO3 and thus bistable magnetism.

Future Needs in Mast Cell Biology. [PDF]

, 2019
The pathophysiological roles of mast cells are still not fully understood, over 140 years since their description by Paul Ehrlich in 1878. Initial studies have attempted to identify distinct "subpopulations" of mast cells based on a relatively small ...

Excited State Modulation in Carbene‐Metal‐Amides to Design Fast and Bright Blue Delayed Fluorescence

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Gold‐centered carbene‐metal amide (CMA) materials with carbonyl‐group substitution on the amide donor ligand. Molecular design ensures that the charge transfer (CT) state is lower in energy than the locally excited (3LE) states. The energy difference between CT and LE states controls the rate of the delayed fluorescence.

Formation of 2D Electron Gas at a Non‐Polar Perovskite Oxide Interface: SrHfO3/BaSnO3

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Through experiments and Poisson‐Schrödinger simulations, 2D electron gas formed at the non‐polar SrHfO3/BaSnO3 interface is observed. A large conduction band offset enables modulation doping by the intrinsic deep donors in SrHfO3, resulting in carrier confinement in BaSnO3 without relying on interfacial polarization or termination‐layer engineering ...

Liquid‐Locked Bassanites for Scalable Fabrication of High‐Temperature Micro‐Supercapacitors Working at 300 °C

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A “liquid locking” strategy is proposed and implemented for scalable printing of crack‐free bassanite ceramic frameworks with interlocking microstructures to host ionic liquids as effective electrolytes for high‐temperature micro‐supercapacitors (HT‐MSCs).

Suramin inhibits the early effects of PLA(2) neurotoxins at mouse neuromuscular junctions: a twitch tension study [PDF]

, 2011
Several phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) neurotoxins from snake venoms can affect acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction. In isolated nerve-muscle preparations three distinct phases have been described for this phenomenon: An initial transient ...

Multiple anti-predator mechanisms in the red-spotted Argentina Frog (Amphibia: Hylidae) [PDF]

, 2017
Anurans employ a wide variety of anti-predator mechanisms to defend themselves. In casque-headed hylids, defence is thought to be a complex combination of several anti-predator mechanisms. However, the defence traits of only a few species are known; some

Identification of presynaptic neurotoxin complexes in the venoms of three Australian copperheads (Austrelaps spp.) and the efficacy of tiger snake antivenom to prevent or reverse neurotoxicity [PDF]

, 2011
The venom of the Australian lowlands copperhead, Austrelaps superbus, produces significant and potentially lethal neurotoxic paralysis in cases of clinical envenomation. However, little is known about the neurotoxic components within this venom or venoms
