As textile technologies rapidly advance, adding thermal insulation to firefighter turnout gear has enhanced thermal protection and markedly reduced burn injuries.1 However, added thermal insulation increased bulk, reduced weight limiting mobility, and caused discomfort.2 Working in high thermal...

Beyond reduction and pluralism: toward an epistemology of explanatory integration in biology
Download2010
The paper works towards an account of explanatory integration in biology, using as a case study explanations of the evolutionary origin of novelties—a problem requiring the integration of several biological fields and approaches. In contrast to the idea that fields studying lower level phenomena...

Beyond resource selection: emergent spatio–temporal distributions from animal movements and stigmergent interactions
Download2022-01-01
Jonathan R. Potts, Valeria Giunta, Mark A. Lewis
A principal concern of ecological research is to unveil the causes behind observed spatio–temporal distributions of species. A key tactic is to correlate observed locations with environmental features, in the form of resource selection functions or other correlative species distribution models....

Liu, Jianli, Zhao, Xie, Yang, Yunfei, Yang, Qingbo, Zhu, Bo, Gao, Weidong, Wang, Shanshan, Li, Zhenxin
The article discusses the role of microfibers in textile industry and also mentions the pollution caused by microfibers. Topics discussed include high absorption ability, superior softness and stain resistant properties of microfibers; impact of microfibers of environment; and contamination of...

BGI-RIS: An integrated information resource and comparative analysis workbench for rice genomics
Download2004
Wang, J., Chen, Y., Zhao, H., Dai, M., Zhao, W., Huang, X., Zhang, Y., Ren. X., Jiao, Y., Wong, G., Wei, S., Ni, P., Yu, J., Zhang, J., Li, S., Yang, H., Fu, J., He, X.
Rice is a major food staple for the world's population and serves as a model species in cereal genome research. The Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI) has long been devoting itself to sequencing, information analysis and biological research of the rice and other crop genomes. In order to facilitate...

Bilateral Teleoperation System Stability with Non-passive and Strictly-Passive Operator or Environment
Download2015-01-01
A bilateral teleoperation system comprises a human operator, a teleoperator, and an environment. Without exact models for the teleoperator’s terminations (i.e., human operator and the environment), it is typically assumed that they are passive but otherwise arbitrary. Based on this assumption,...

Bilingualism is often considered an inappropriate developmental choice for children with specific language impairment (SLI) because, according to a widespread belief, these children’s limited capacity for language would be overtaxed by learning two linguistic systems. However, there has not been...

Dingle, Tanis C., Szpacenko, Adam, Ng, Kenneth K.S., Kitov, Pavel, Klassen, John S., El-Hawiet, Amr, Kitova,Elena N., Mulvey, George L., Eugenio, Luiz, Armstrong, Glen D.
The binding of recombinant fragments of the C-terminal cell-binding domains of the two large exotoxins, toxin A (TcdA) and toxin B (TcdB), expressed by Clostridium difficile and a library consisting of the most abundant neutral and acidic human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) was examined...
