Abstract Background Nesting in large aggregations provides several important advantages for colonially breeding birds.However, it also imposes certain costs, associated with facilitated pathogen transmission and social stress.The cost-benefit ratio is not similar for all the birds in a colony and it might be Broom mediated by nest density.To invest
Abstract Novel hierarchical Cd4SiS6/SiO2 based heterostructure nanowire arrays were fabricated on silicon substrates by a one-step thermal evaporation of CdS powder.The as-grown products were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy.Studies reveal that a typical hierarchical Cd4SiS6/S
A method was devised to vector propulsion of a robotic pectoral fin by means TEXTURE BOOST of actively controlling fin surface curvature.Separate flapping fin gaits were designed to maximize thrust for each of three different thrust vectors: forward, reverse, and lift.By using weighted combinations of these three pre-determined main gaits, new inte
Background: Over the past decade, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) research has blossomed, and multiple clinical trials have tested potential interventions, with varying results and no clear demonstration of efficacy.Lack of clarity concerning appropriate biological mechanisms to target and lack of Volleyball Net sensitive, objective tools to identif
