Fused silica with surface structures has potential applications Motion Sensor in microfluidic, aerospace and other fields.To fabricate structures with high dimensional accuracy and surface quality is of paramount importance.However, it is indeed a challenge to strike a balance between accuracy and efficiency at the same time.Here, a temporally shap
Oyster reefs are biodiversity hotspots with multiple ecosystem functions and services that are declining worldwide.Historic populations of European oysters (Ostrea edulis) have been decimated by overfishing and are nowadays considered functionally extinct in European waters.To halt and reverse the associated biodiversity loss, oyster reef restorati
Stroke is a leading cause of death Treatments - Cold and disability in both developed and developing countries.Limited information is available, in South Africa, on the epidemiological profile of stroke survivors requiring rehabilitation.A descriptive study was therefore undertaken to compile, amongst others the demographic and medical profile of s
Lichens are poikilohydric organisms, whose internal water content tends to reflect external humidity conditions.After drying, they can reactivate their metabolic activity through water vapor uptake or liquid water input.Thus, lichen water-related functional traits are important as they are involved in the duration of the hydrated period.Models pred
