Mechanics in dehydration-induced leaf morphing behaviors by Guo, Kexin

“…As the leaf naturally detaches and dries, the leaf lamina shrinks more than the stiff midrib, resulting in in-plane strain mismatch between the mesophyll tissues and the midrib. For thin-sheet materials like plant leaves, uniform uniaxial stretching of the sheet leads to wrinkling, a phenomenon that has been extensively studied analytically and numerically. …”

The effects of Ad disliking on purchase intention. by Ong, Rachel Cuiting., Chia, Gin Pei Ling., Tan, Shi Hui.

“…Ad disliking was hypothesized to lead to lower purchase intentions than when ads are liked. In addition, it was also hypothesized to have greater effects on purchase intentions when consumers have low need for cognition, when they are under low-involvement conditions and when they are not brand-loyal.…”

Temporal variability in host availability alters the outcome of competition between two parasitoid species by Wang, H, Liu, T, Sun, S, Lewis, OT, Xi, X

“…</li> <li>To investigate this, we allowed two parasitoid species,&nbsp;<em>Trichopria drosophilae</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Pachycrepoideus vindemiae</em>, to exploit&nbsp;<em>Drosophila</em>&nbsp;host pupae under different temporal variability treatments, either on their own or simultaneously.</li> <li>When tested individually (in the absence of interspecific competition), both parasitoid species had lower fitness when hosts were exposed for a short duration at high density than when exposed for a long duration at low density. …”
