Inoculation with root-associated fungus Mollisia panicicola to enhance establishment of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum)
Creators: name: Engel, Peninah
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2024

description: This study investigates the conditions under which New Jersey Pine Barrens (NJPB) microbes applied to switchgrass seeds at planting can improve early growth and stand establishment. Switchgrass, with its large, perennial yield of fermentable leaves and stems, has great potential as a sustainable bioethanol feedstock, especially considering its hardiness in agriculturally marginal areas. Switchgrass has been found to associate with a varied microbiome, containing numerous culturable strains with the potential to benefit their plant host. Two microbes isolated from wild switchgrass in the acidic, nutrient-poor NJ Pine Barrens ecosystem, one bacterial (Pseudomonas sp.) and one fungal (Mollisia panicicola), were selected for inoculation of switchgrass seeds in a field planting at two farm sites. Plots of the upland switchgrass variety ‘Carthage’ and lowland variety ‘Kanlow’ inoculated with one, both, or neither of the microbes were observed for two years, to evaluate their germination, height, and biomass yield, as indicators of successful establishment and plant health. Over the two years of this study, ‘Kanlow’ across locations benefited from the M. panicicola inoculation, producing larger plants over two years when the fungus was present. This study demonstrates one method for inoculating switchgrass symbiotic fungus in the field, and suggests that microbial benefits such as these may be specific to only sensitive switchgrass varieties.
Social media use and everyday cognitive failure: investigating the fear of missing out and social networks use disorder relationship

description: Background Nearly five billion individuals worldwide are using social media platforms. While the benefits of using social media, such as fostering social connections, are clear, ongoing discussions are focused on whether excessive use of these platforms might have adverse effects on cognitive functioning. Excessive social media use shares similarities with addictive behaviors and is believed to result from a complex interplay of individual characteristics, emotions, thoughts, and actions. Among these contributing factors, one of particular interest is the Fear of Missing Out (FoMO), a state where an individual apprehends that others are experiencing rewarding moments in their absence (but see more information on the FoMO trait/state debate in this article). Methods In this study, we aimed to explore the intricate relationships between FoMO, tendencies towards Social Networks Use Disorder (SNUD), and everyday cognitive failures. To achieve this, we gathered a large sample of N = 5314 participants and administered a comprehensive set of questionnaires. These included a Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) scale, which assessed both trait and state aspects of FoMO, the Social Networking Sites-Addiction Test (SNS-AT), designed to gauge tendencies towards SNUD, and the Cognitive Failure Questionnaire (CFQ), which measured everyday cognitive lapses. Results Our findings revealed that among non-users of social media, both FoMO and everyday cognitive failures were at their lowest levels. Further, in the group of social media users, we observed a significant relationship between FoMO and cognitive failures, which was mediated by SNUD tendencies. This mediation was particularly pronounced for the state component of FoMO, which encompasses maladaptive thoughts related to online behavior. Conclusions While our study is cross-sectional and thus cannot establish causality, one plausible interpretation of our findings is that higher FoMO tendencies may trigger excessive social media use, which in turn could lead to cognitive failures, possibly due to distraction and reduced attention to everyday tasks
Theory on the Stability of the Ferromagnetic Double Layer Structure and on the Peak Structure of the Magneto-Optical Spectra of CeSb

description: We propose the pf+pd mixing model for CeSb to explain the stability of the ferromagnetic double layer structure in the magnetic ordering. The pd mixing causes the saddle type singular points, neighboring the $Δ$ axis, for the bands which gain energy through the pf hybridization with the occupied f state. The peak of the density of states due to this combined effect of the pf mixing and the pd mixing enhances the stability of the double layer structure. The same combined effect also causes the saddle type singular points in the joint density of states of the optical transition. The peak structure of the magneto-optical spectra which has been observed in experiments is explained by the present model.

description: Abstract Both DSM-5 and ICD-11 have provided weight cut-offs and severity specifiers for the diagnosis of anorexia nervosa (AN) in childhood, adolescence and adulthood. The aims of the current study focusing on inpatients aged < 19 years were to assess (1) the relationship between age and body mass index (BMI; kg/m2), BMI-centiles, BMI-standard deviation scores (BMI-SDS) and body height-SDS at referral, (2) the percentages of patients fulfilling the DSM-5 and ICD-11 weight criteria and severity categories for AN, and (3) the validity of the AN severity specifiers via analysis of both weight related data at discharge and inpatient treatment duration. The German Registry for Anorexia Nervosa encompassed complete data sets for 469 female patients (mean age = 15.2 years; range 8.9–18.9 years) with a diagnosis of AN (n = 404) or atypical AN (n = 65), who were ascertained at 16 German child and adolescent psychiatric hospitals. BMI at referral increased up to age 15 to subsequently plateau. Approximately one tenth of all patients with AN had a BMI above the fifth centile. The ICD-11 specifier based on a BMI-centile of 0.3 for childhood and adolescent AN entailed two equally sized groups of patients. Discharge data revealed limited validity of the specifiers. Height-SDS was not correlated with age thus stunting had no impact on our data. We corroborate the evidence to use the tenth instead of the fifth BMI-centile as the weight criterion in children and adolescents. Weight criteria should not entail major diagnostic shifts during the transition from adolescence to adulthood. The severity specifiers based on BMI or BMI-centiles do not seem to have substantial clinical validity.
Numerical simulation of electromagnetic wave scattering from planar dielectric films deposited on rough perfectly conducting substrates

Subjects: subject: Condensed Matter (cond-mat)

description: Electromagnetic wave scattering from planar dielectric films deposited on one-dimensional, randomly rough, perfectly conducting substrates is studied by numerical simulations for both p- and s-polarization. The reduced Rayleigh equation, which is the integral equation satisfied by the scattering amplitude after eliminating the fields inside the film, is the starting point for the simulation. This equation is solved numerically by considering a random surface of finite length, and by introducing wave number cut-offs in the evanescent part of the spectrum. Upon discretization, a system of linear equations is obtained, and by solving this matrix system for an ensemble of surface realizations, the contribution to the mean differential reflection coefficient from the incoherently scattered field, $<\partial R_ν/\partial θ>_{incoh}$ (ν=p,s), is obtained nonperturbatively. It is demonstrated that when the scattering geometry supports at least two guided waves, $<\partial R_ν/\partial θ>_{incoh}$, has, in addition to the well known enhanced backscattering peak, well-defined satellite peaks in agreement with theory, for most of the parameters considered.

description: We have used deterministic single-photon two qubit (SPTQ) quantum logic to implement the most powerful individual-photon attack against the Bennett-Brassard 1984 (BB84) quantum key distribution protocol. Our measurement results, including physical source and gate errors, are in good agreement with theoretical predictions for the Renyi information obtained by Eve as a function of the errors she imparts to Alice and Bob's sifted key bits. The current experiment is a physical simulation of a true attack, because Eve has access to Bob's physical receiver module. This experiment illustrates the utility of an efficient deterministic quantum logic for performing realistic physical simulations of quantum information processing functions.

description: We study the Maximal Covering Location Problem with Accessibility Indicators and Mobile Units that maximizes the facilities coverage, the accessibility of the zones to the open facilities, and the spatial disaggregation. The main characteristic of our problem is that mobile units can be deployed from open facilities to extend the coverage, accessibility, and opportunities for the inhabitants of the different demand zones. We formulate the Maximal Covering Location Problem with Accessibility Indicators and Mobile Units as a mixed-integer linear programming model. To solve larger instances, we propose a matheuristic (combination of exact and heuristic methods) composed of an Estimation of Distribution Algorithm and a parameterized Maximal Covering Location Problem with Accessibility Indicators and Mobile Units integer model. To test our methodology, we consider the Maximal Covering Location Problem with Accessibility Indicators and Mobile Units model to cover the low-income zones with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 patients. Using official databases, we made a set of instances where we considered the poverty index, number of population, locations of hospitals, and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 patients. The experimental results show the efficiency of our methodologies. Compared to the case without mobile units, we drastically improve the coverage and accessibility for the inhabitants of the demand zones.

description: Abstract Purpose Most psychiatric drugs, such as antidepressants (AD) and antipsychotics (AP), may cause cardiac adverse events (CAE). We used summaries of product characteristics (SmPC) for assessing the likelihood of AD and AP to cause CAE. Methods We identified all original medicinal products (OMP) of AD and AP approved in Germany. We searched for their SmPCs using the online services of PharmaNet.Bund, Gelbe liste®, Rote Liste®, Fachinfo-Service®, and via manufacturer contact. We extracted frequencies of reported CAE (QT prolongation, Torsade de Pointes tachycardia, and ventricular arrhythmia) and performed a risk assessment. Results We obtained the SmPCs of 24 AD and 26 AP identified as OMP. Comparably high reported frequencies regarding QT prolongation were found for Invega® (paliperidone), Serdolect® (sertindole) (≥ 1/100 and < 1/10), and Zoloft® (sertraline) (≥ 1/10.000 and < 1/1000); regarding Torsade de Pointes tachycardia were found for Serdolect® (≥ 1/1000 to < 1/100), Zoloft®, and Trevilor® (venlafaxine) (≥ 1/10.000 and < 1/1000); regarding ventricular tachycardia for Solian® (amisulpride), Xomolix® (droperidol), Zyprexa® (olanzapine), and Trevilor® (≥ 1/10.000 and < 1/1000). Conclusion The risk and frequency of CAE, as reported in the SmPCs, varied significantly among substances and between groups. There are more reports for AP than AD. The AP with the most frequently reported CAE (QT prolongation and Torsade de Pointes tachycardia) was Serdolect®; for AD, Zoloft® (QT prolongation, Torsade de Pointes tachycardia) and Trevilor® (Torsade de Pointes tachycardia and ventricular tachycardia) carried a higher cardiac risk.

description: Abstract Purpose As the number of intravitreal injections (IVI) increases annually, this study aimed to assess the anatomical and functional outcomes following rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) surgery for IVI-associated RRD (IVARD). Methods All non-vitrectomized eyes developing IVARD since 2007 in two European vitreoretinal centers (Department of Ophthalmology, LMU Munich, Germany, and Eye Clinic Luigi Sacco, University of Milan, Milan, Italy) were included. Main outcomes were primary and secondary retinal attachment rate after surgery, rate of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), and final functional result. Ten years of incidence rates per injection were calculated for one center. Results Fifty-two eyes of 52 patients comprised the study. Primary anatomic success rate was 83% (n = 43) and secondary 96% (n = 50). PVR was observed in all uveitic eyes (n = 3), in eyes with postoperative cystoid macular edema (n = 2), and in 8 of 9 eyes that received the dexamethasone implant (DEX). Age, number of prior injections, duration of symptoms, or time between last IVI and RRD did not show any statistically significant differences with regard to presence of PVR or not. Mean BCVA improved in 28 cases, remained stable in 16 cases, and worsened in 8 cases. The RRD incidence rate was statistically significant higher for DEX and ocriplasmin compared with that for anti-VEGF agents. Conclusion The anatomical result after one surgical intervention seems acceptable, but the final visual outcome remains rather poor, because of the underlying macular disease. In our population, injection with DEX is associated with higher IVARD rate, presence and development of PVR, and recurrent RRD in comparison with anti-VEGF agents.

description: The current practice of reliability analysis is both uniform and troublesome: most reports consider only Cronbach’s α, and almost all reports focus exclusively on a point estimate, disregarding the impact of sampling error. In an attempt to improve the status quo we have implemented Bayesian estimation routines for five popular single-test reliability coefficients in the open-source statistical software program JASP. Using JASP, researchers can easily obtain Bayesian credible intervals to indicate a range of plausible values and thereby quantify the precision of the point estimate. In addition, researchers may use the posterior distribution of the reliability coefficients to address practically relevant questions such as “What is the probability that the reliability of my test is larger than a threshold value of .80?”. In this tutorial article, we outline how to conduct a Bayesian reliability analysis in JASP and correctly interpret the results. By making available a computationally complex procedure in an easy-to-use software package, we hope to motivate researchers to include uncertainty estimates whenever reporting the results of a single-test reliability analysis.

Data standards

description: Wind energy is highly interdisciplinary and consists of many stakeholders across the value chain, between whom data sharing is a requisite. Active and effective data sharing - and communication about the data - improve collaboration and increase innovation, therefore having a high potential to benefit the entire community. Community defined and agreed upon common metadata, semantics and schema definitions reduce costs and increase reliance on data and data science for generating a competitive advantage. Therefore one of the focus topics of IEA Wind Task 43 is "data sharing and standards". Initial work involved conducting 30+ interviews with the wind energy community, showing that one of the main barriers to data sharing is the lack of common metadata standards and semantics across the wind energy industry [1]. A number of metadata standards and semantics do already exist, and a number of initiatives are active in their further development. However, there is not yet a common definition or method of application agreed on by the entire community. Also, there is a lack of clarity about what the industry actually needs. For example, is only one unique definition desired, should the definitions be split into different categories (and if so, which?), would a flexible framework able to deal with different definitions be required, etc.? The IEA Wind Task 43 Metadata Challenge - currently running on the WeDoWind platform - sets out to answer these questions. The goals of this challenge are to research existing efforts, then to define the key actions required to progress toward commonality in wind energy data, and finally to implement these actions. The work in this paper addresses the research of existing efforts and the definition of the key actions required towards the standardisation of wind energy data.

description: Colchicum autumnale are toxic autumn-blooming flowering plants, which often grow on extensive meadows and pastures. Thus, they pose a threat to farm animals especially in hay and silage. Intensive grassland management or the use of herbicides could reduce these weeds but environment protection requirements often prohibit these measures. For this reason, a non-chemical site- or plant-specific weed control is sought, which aims only at a small area around the C. autumnale and with low impact on the surrounding flora and fauna. For this purpose, however, the exact locations of the plants must be known. In the present paper, a procedure to locate blooming C. autumnale in high-resolution drone images in the visible light range is presented. This approach relies on convolutional neural networks to detect the flower positions. The training data, which is based on hand-labeled images, is further enhanced through image augmentation. The quality of the detection was evaluated in particular for grassland sites which were not included in the training to get an estimate for how well the detector works on previously unseen sites. In this case, 88.6% of the flowers in the test dataset were detected, which makes it suitable, e.g., for applications where the training is performed by the manufacturer of an automatic treatment tool and where the practitioners apply it to their previously unseen grassland sites.

description: Phenotypic (co)variation is a prerequisite for evolutionary change, and understanding how (co)variation evolves is of crucial importance to the biological sciences. Theoretical models predict that under directional selection, phenotypic (co)variation should evolve in step with the underlying adaptive landscape, increasing the degree of correlation among co-selected traits as well as the amount of genetic variance in the direction of selection. Whether either of these outcomes occurs in natural populations is an open question and thus an important gap in evolutionary theory. Here we documented changes in the phenotypic (co)variation structure in two separate natural populations in each of two chipmunk species (Tamias alpinus and Tamias speciosus) undergoing directional selection. In populations where selection was strongest (those of T. alpinus), we observed changes, at least for one population, in phenotypic (co)variation that matched theoretical expectations, namely an increase of both phenotypic integration and (co)variance in the direction of selection and a re-alignment of the major axis of variation with the selection gradient.

description: Background Pulmonary eosinophils comprise at least two distinct populations of resident eosinophils (rEOS) and inflammatory eosinophils (iEOS), the latter recruited in response to pulmonary inflammation. Here, we determined the impact of complement activation on rEOS and iEOS trafficking and function in two models of pulmonary inflammation. Methods BALB/c wild-type and C5ar1−/− mice were exposed to different allergens or IL-33. Eosinophil populations in the airways, lung, or mediastinal lymph nodes (mLN) were characterized by FACS or immunohistochemistry. rEOS and iEOS functions were determined in vivo and in vitro. Results HDM and IL-33 exposure induced a strong accumulation of iEOS but not rEOS in the airways, lungs, and mLNs. rEOS and iEOS expressed C3/C5 and C5aR1, which were significantly higher in iEOS. Initial pulmonary trafficking of iEOS was markedly reduced in C5ar1−/− mice and associated with less IL-5 production from ILC2 cells. Functionally, adoptively transferred pulmonary iEOS from WT but not from C5ar1−/− mice-induced airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), which was associated with significantly reduced C5ar1−/− iEOS degranulation. Pulmonary iEOS but not rEOS were frequently associated with T cells in lung tissue. After HDM or IL-33 exposure, iEOS but not rEOS were found in mLNs, which were significantly reduced in C5ar1−/− mice. C5ar1−/− iEOS expressed less costimulatory molecules, associated with a decreased potency to drive antigen-specific T cell proliferation and differentiation into memory T cells. Conclusions We uncovered novel roles for C5aR1 in iEOS trafficking and activation, which affects key aspects of allergic inflammation such as AHR, ILC2, and T cell activation.

description: The ARBOCARTO V2 application is a predictive mapping tool initially developed for health authorities to target areas prone to mosquito proliferation, particularly Aedes mosquitoes responsible for arbovirus diseases like Chikungunya, Dengue fever and Zika. It generates predictive maps of mosquito population densities based on local entomological, meteorological, and remote sensing data, aiding in organizing surveillance and control actions.
Details
Operational and available through a request form from the French Ministry of Health, the tool generates predictive maps of the abundance of Aedes albopictus or aegypti mosquitoes in a given territory, depending on the user's choice, and allows the simulation of different prevention or control scenarios. Its maps prioritize areas at risk, guiding social mobilization measures and field team actions. 
ARBOCARTO V2 is adaptable and user-friendly, offering a methodological guide for integrating environmental data. It can be utilized by health authorities in regions already colonized by Aedes mosquitoes across mainland France and its overseas territories.
Satellite data from SPOT6/7 and Sentinel-2, alongside meteorological data from Météo France, are used for predictive modeling.

description: This Meta-Aggregative (MA) Qualitative Evidence Synthesis (QES) identified, investigated, and critically appraised examples of ‘quality’ Teacher Critical Reflection (TCR) in recent peer-reviewed research. The key question guiding the synthesis of literature was, How is teacher critical reflection evidenced, justified, and communicated in peer-reviewed research? The synthesis detected the importance of TCR in supporting quality teacher practice in early childhood and primary school settings. The MA element guided the choice of articles and the QES identified evidence of the intricacies of teacher critical reflection. The MA QES provides insights into sustainable and purposeful TCR. Thirteen studies conducted between 2013 and 2019 met the requirements of a four-phased MA QES and were critically appraised to inform the synthesis. Recommendations derived from this review include the importance of identifying the objectives of TCR, TCR as part of teacher identity and its impact on TCR, the significant role that social collaboration plays in TCR, and the tools that support successful TCR.

description: A systematic investigation of the hydrogen peroxide oxidation reaction (HPOR) in phosphate buffer (pH = 7.3) on an Au(111) single crystal modified with a 4-mercaptopyridine self-assembled monolayer (SAM) has been conducted before and after metallization with Pt. While bare Au(111) shows considerable electrocatalytic activity towards the HPOR, the inhibition of the oxidation reaction after modification with the SAM implies that adsorbed 4-mercaptopyridine molecules do not catalyze the HPOR. However, SAM-modified Au(111) recovers catalytic activity for the HPOR already after a single metallization step fabricating Pt islands on-top. Hydrogen peroxide (HP) may then either react at the (non-metallic) Pt nanoislands or on reactivated Au sites, made accessible by structural changes of the SAM induced by the metallization. The shape of the voltammetric profiles for the HPOR on repeatedly metallized SAMs suggests that the contribution of Au to the total current density gradually diminishes with increasing Pt coverage while the contribution of the Pt islands increases. The electrochemical behavior is dominated by the Pt islands at a coverage of 0.5 ML obtained by three subsequent metallization steps.

description: Introduction Tubal ligation is the most common contraceptive method worldwide. Apart from a very low pearl index and anxiety relief, other benefits are not commonly recognised. In young patients, there is the post-operative risk of regretting the decision with the need for In-Vitro-Fertilisation or refertilising surgery. Positive side effects have not been widely published. In our study we investigated the change in the female sexual function index score after tubal ligation. Material and method In this survey the FSFI score of participants around the time of the tubal ligation was compared with the FSFI score of intermediate and long-term time distance to the ligation. Results The data indicate an increase in younger women seeking information on permanent contraception and whilst the FSFI score of the early group indicates a risk of female sexual dysfunction, the intermediate and long-term FSFI scores are comparable to published control groups. Discussion Besides the obvious benefit of a low pearl index, tubal ligation may contribute to reduce the risk of female sexual dysfunction in the mid and long term. Informed consent is essential for the surgeon and patient to weigh up the risks and benefits individually including possible future perspectives on family planning.

description: Abstract Background Circulating tumor cells (CTC) in the peripheral blood in women with breast cancer has been found to be an indicator of prognosis before the start of systemic treatment. The aim of this study is the assessment of specific cytokine profiles as markers for CTC involvement that could act as independent prognostic markers in terms of survival outcome for breast cancer patients. Methods Patients selected for this study were defined as women with breast cancer of the SUCCESS study. A total of 200 patients’ sera were included in this study, 100 patients being positive for circulating tumor cells (CTC) and 100 patients being CTC negative. The matching criteria were histo-pathological grading, lymph node metastasis, hormone receptor status, TNM classification, and patient survival. Commercial ELISA with a multi cytokine/chemokine array was used to screen the sera for Interleukin 15 (IL-15) and eotaxin. Results Statistically significant concentrations were exposed for IL-15 levels regardless of the CTC-Status, lymph node involvement, or hormone receptor status. Significantly enhanced serum IL-15 concentrations were observed in those patients with worse overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). Elevated serum concentrations of IL-15 significantly correlate with patients diagnosed with Grade 3 tumor and worse OS. In contrast, patients with a Grade 3 tumor with a favourable OS and DFS demonstrated significantly decreased IL-15 values. The CTC negative patient subgroup with a favourable OS and DFS, showed statistically significant elevated eotaxin values. Conclusion These findings suggest a potential functional interaction of increased IL-15 concentrations in the peripheral blood of patients with a worse OS and DFS, regardless of prognostic factors at primary diagnosis. The increased levels of the chemokine eotaxin in CTC negative patients and a favourable OS and DFS, on the other hand, suggest that the overexpression inhibits CTCs entering the peripheral blood, thus emphasizing a significant inhibition of circulation specific metastasis. To sum up, IL-15 could be used as an independent prognostic marker in terms of survival outcome for breast cancer patients and used as an early indicator to highlight high-risk patients and consequently the adjustment of cancer therapy strategies.

description: echargeable metal–sulfur batteries show great promise for energy storage applications because of their potentially high energy and low cost. The multivalent-metal based electrochemical system exhibits the particular advantage of the feasibility of dendrite-free metal anode. Calcium (Ca) represents a promising anode material owing to the low reductive potential, high capacity, and abundant natural resources. However, calcium–sulfur (Ca–S) battery technology is in an early R&D stage, facing the fundamental challenge to develop a suitable electrolyte enabling reversible electrochemical Ca deposition, and at the same time, sulfur redox reactions in the system. Herein, a study of a room-temperature Ca–S battery by employing a stable and efficient calcium tetrakis(hexafluoroisopropyloxy) borate Ca[B(hfip)4]2 electrolyte is presented. The Ca–S batteries exhibit a cell voltage of ≈2.1 V (close to its thermodynamic value) and good reversibility. The mechanistic studies hint at a redox chemistry of sulfur with polysulfide/sulfide species involved in the Ca-based system.

description: Biomimicry is a form of design by analogy that derives functional principles from biology for application to design. A key challenge faced by practitioners is making the significant conceptual leap between these two distant domains. The collaborative demands of biomimicry between biologists and designers can be costly and time consuming. However, evaluation and collaboration are common challenges in design practice and frequently addressed through prototyping. This study investigates the utility of prototyping in the biomimicry design process.
A survey exploring current practices of 270 respondents showed that prototypes were underutilized in a biomimicry context when compared to their typical ubiquity in design practice. Findings showed that 75% of those that reported using prototypes also reported using their own personal process for dealing with those key challenges. Following the survey, ten semi-structured interviews provided detailed accounts of biomimicry project prototypes resulting in four across-case themes: (1) Approximation; (2) The Prototyping Principle; (3) Synthesis and Testing; and (4) Validation.
Based on the study’s findings, a two novel approaches to biomimicry through prototyping were identified. The first is an abstraction and transfer process based on form-finding and collaborative performance evaluation described as Performance Based Abstraction. The second novel approach was described as a Fixed Prototyping Principle where the project is initiated by searching for how nature makes use of specific materials and fabrication methods. Prototypes were also found to have utility as boundary objects to develop a shared mental model between biologists and designers, or, in some cases, to take a self-checking approach to reduce collaboration. The purpose of prototypes in biomimicry are similar to those of design in general, but specific nuances of the biomimicry context are described as well as some of the factors that may contribute to its underutilization in a biomimicry context.
This research concludes that prototyping can be used earlier in the biomimicry process to not only develop a design concept but to abstract the biology into a feasible design principle. By incorporating prototypes into knowledge transfer and collaboration tasks, biomimicry practitioners can manage risks of poor alignment between collaborators in biology and design and uncertainty of the actual performance of hypothesized biomimicry design principles. Prototyping as a designerly skill set should be taught and utilized among biomimicry practitioners in order to effectively do biomimicry in three-dimensional design.
