Biological invasions are most effectively managed when identified in their early stages, which often hinges on robust surveillance programs.The recent invasion of the European grapevine moth (Lobesia botrana) in California suggests that viticultural areas in the western United States may face severe economic consequences from this and other Tortric
Abstract Background Peripheral nerve reflexes enable organ systems to maintain long-term physiological homeostasis while responding to rapidly changing environmental conditions.Electrical nerve stimulation is commonly used to activate these reflexes and modulate organ function, giving rise to an emerging class of therapeutics called bioelectronic m
Abstract The presence of defects, such as pores, in materials processed using additive manufacturing represents a challenge during the manufacturing of many engineering components.Recently, ultrasonic vibration-assisted (UV-A) directed energy deposition (DED) has been shown to reduce porosity, promote grain refinement, and enhance mechanical perfor
Nowadays, there is a remarkable world trend in employing UAVs and drones for diverse applications.The main reasons are that they may cost fractions of manned aircraft and avoid the Camera Sliders exposure of human lives to risks.Nevertheless, they depend on positioning systems that may be vulnerable.Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that these s
