First records of diurnal and nocturnal predatory birds from artificial hunting perch trials in oil palm plantations by Tohiran, Kamil, Nasir, Dzulhelmi Muhammad, Burhanuddin, Maisarah, Nobilly, Frisco, Zulkifli, Raja, Moslim, Ramle, Yahya, Muhammad Syafiq, Norhisham, Ahmad Razi, Lechner, Alex M., Azhar, Badrul

“…In a 24 h period, bird visits to artificial perches peaked between 10:00 am and 5:30 pm. Our findings suggest that artificial bird perches can facilitate the occurrence of diurnal and nocturnal predatory birds in oil palm plantations to control rodent infestation. …”

Efficient visible light modulation based on electrically tunable all dielectric metasurfaces embedded in thin-layer nematic liquid crystals by Sun, Mingyu, Xu, Xuewu, Sun, Xiao Wei, Liang, Xin’an, Valuckas, Vytautas, Zheng, Yuanjin, Paniagua-Domínguez, Ramón, Kuznetsov, Arseniy I.

“…Small driving voltages from 3~5 V are sufficient to tune the metasurface resonances, with an associated transmission modulation of more than 65%. …”

Desymmetrisation of 1,3-diols and their diacetates under enzymatic heterogeneous catalysis and synthesis of 1,3-diols under continuous flow conditions by Pamarthy, Varsha Siri

“…One of the key steps in the synthesis of one such piperidone, N-benzyl-5- methoxypiperidone, is the desymmetrisation of 1,3-diol, N-Benzyl-5-hydroxy-4- (hydroxymethyl)pentanamide or 1,3-diacetate, N-Benzyl-5-acetoxy-4- (acetoxymethyl)pentanamide, which provide access to the (R)- and (S)- enantiomers of the piperidone, respectively. …”

A novel gravity-driven nanofibrous membrane for point-of-use water disinfection: polydopamine-induced in situ silver incorporation by Wang, Jianqiang, Wu, Yichao, Yang, Zhe, Guo, Hao, Cao, Bin, Tang, Chuyang Y.

“…These nanoparticles were uniformly distributed on the surface of nanofibers with no apparent agglomeration at a silver loading up to 4.36 wt.% (cPAN-Ag1.5). The silver-incorporated membrane cPAN-Ag1.5 achieved a high pure water flux of 130 Lm−2 h−1 at 10-cm water head, demonstrating the feasibility of energy-efficient gravity-driven filtration and eliminating the need for electrical power. …”

Blind quantum computing with trapped ions and single photons by Drmota, P

“…</p> <br> <p>Our experimental platform consists of a trapped-ion quantum server and a client-side photonic detection system networked via a fibre-optic quantum link. We integrate a long-lived memory qubit into a trapped-ion quantum network node to enable simultaneous storage and manipulation of multiple entangled states across a network of quantum processors. …”

Assessing Early Stage Design Sketches and Reflections on Prototyping by Das, Madhurima, Yang, Maria C

“…Results also indicate that early-stage sketch quantity, but not quality, is linked with design outcomes. This study also finds a link between the frequency of sketching and higher maximum sketch quality scores (i.e., at least one highly rated sketch) as well as a correlation between individuals’ maximum sketch quality scores and overall design outcomes. …”
