Volunteers support wildlife conservation, but engagement is often limited and short-term. This article examined the demographics, commitment, retention, and turnover among volunteer managers of bluebird nest boxes. Based on a survey, respondents were older, more educated, and more rural than the...

The efficacy of direct control methods in bark beetle outbreaks is a disputed topic. While some studies report that control reduces tree mortality, others see little effect. Existing models, linking control rate to beetle population dynamics and tree infestations, give insights, but there is a...

Nanogels with a biomolecular coating (biocoating) were shown to be capable of triggered delivery of anticancer drug Doxorubicin. The biocoating was formed utilizing binding between glycogen and the tetra-functional lectin Concanavalin A, which can be triggered to disassemble (and release) upon...

There is strong community-wide interest in applying molecular techniques to fungal species delimitation and identification, but selection of a standardized region or regions of the genome has not been finalized. A single marker, the ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer region, has frequently...

An NMR investigation of methylammonium lead iodide, the leading member of the hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite class of materials, and of its putative decomposition products as a result of exposure to heat and humidity, has been undertaken. We show that the 207Pb NMR spectra of the compound of...

The exposure of DNA to ultraviolet (UV) radiation causes sequence‐dependent damage. Thus, there is a need for an analytical technique that can detect damage in large numbers of DNA sequences simultaneously. In this study, we have designed an assay for UVC‐induced DNA damage in multiple...

In addition to high concentrations of CH4 and H2, abundant dissolved N2 is found in subsurface fracture fluids in Precambrian cratons around the world. These fracture fluids have hydrogeological isolation times on order of thousands to millions and even billions of years. Assessing the sources...

Nanostructured materials are being actively developed, while it remains an open question how to rapidly scale them up to bulk engineering materials for broad industrial applications. This study propose an industrial approach to rapidly fabricate high-strength large-size nanostructured metal...

While vertically oriented metal oxide nanowires have been intensely researched for use as electron transport layers (ETLs) in halide perovskite solar cells (HPSCs), horizontal nanowires (oriented roughly parallel to the substrate) have received much less attention despite their higher photonic...

Integrating data services across the life science spectrum illustrates the design and development of novel therapies in terms of Translational Research (TR) paths. The aim is to build an ‘open’ registry from multiple centres by allowing for open archiving of key characteristics of materials used...
