“…The surface of the current collector is modified with patterned grooves and amorphous carbon nanofibers, imitating the checkerboard‐like sand barriers in desert regions. Due to a combined effect of the grooves and the carbon nanofibers, a battery based on this current collector retains a reversible capacity of 410.1 mAh g(−1) (beyond the theoretical capacity of carbonaceous materials of 372 mAh g(−1)) with good capacity retention (greater than 84.9% of the initial capacity after 50 cycles), resulting in 66.2% and 42.6% improvement in reversible capacity and capacity retention, respectively, compared to the batteries using traditional Cu current collectors. …”

“…Here, we report a series of analyses of a unique data set encompassing known-age individuals of the long-distance migratory Sand Martin (Riparia riparia). Sampling over 17 years along the Tisza River, eastern Hungary, has resulted in the recapture of numerous individuals enabling longitudinal and cross-sectional investigation of the role of adaptation to variable environmental conditions on feather morphology. …”

“…OBJECTIVES: To gain insight into the propagation of miltefosine (MIL) resistance in visceral leishmaniasis, this laboratory study explored development of resistant parasites with a defective miltefosine transporter (MT) in sand flies. METHODS: Infectivity, colonization of stomodeal valve and metacyclogenesis of a MIL-resistant (MIL-R) Leishmania infantum LEM3323 line with a defective MT were assessed in the natural sand fly vectors Phlebotomus perniciosus and Lutzomyia longipalpis. …”
