Abstract Tree frogs have the remarkable ability to attach to smooth, rough, dry, and wet surfaces using their versatile toe pads.Tree frog attachment involves the secretion of mucus into the pad-substrate gap, requiring adaptations towards mucus drainage and pad lubrication.Here, we present an overview of tree frog attachment, with focus on (i) the
Measurements were carried out on Vegetable Oil Methyl Esters (VOME or FAME) answering the most recent specifications.The products tested are RME (Rapeseed oil Methyl Ester), ERME (Erucic Rapeseed oil Methyl Esters), SME (Sunflower oil Methyl Esters), and HOSME (High Oleic Sunflower oil Methyl Esters).They contain more than 99.5% of fatty acid mono
Flowering Shrubs The morphing aircraft is a promising solution to achieve an optimal flight performance according to various mission scenarios.To apply the morphing technology in hypersonic vehicles, a variable-sweep-wing morphing waverider was proposed in previous studies, and its aerodynamic performance and dynamic model were presented.In this pa
BackgroundStaphylococcus epidermidis is a common cause of nosocomial infections worldwide.This study analyzed the differences in genetic endowment and clonal lineages with pathogenesis and resistance traits of S.epidermidis isolates collected from community and hospital environments (patients and healthcare staff) of the same ecological niche, time
Conceptual knowledge accessed by language may involve the re-activation of the associated primary sensory-motor processes.Whether these embodied representations are indeed constitutive to conceptual knowledge is hotly debated, particularly since direct evidence that sensory-motor expertise can improve conceptual processing is scarce.In this study,
