Eucalyptus species are native to Australia but grown extensively worldwide as short rotation hardwoods for a variety of products and as ornamentals. We describe their general importance with specific emphasis on existing and emerging markets as energy products and the potential to maximize their productivity as short rotation woody crops. Using experience in Florida USA and similar locations, we document their current energy applications and assess their productivity as short-term and likely long-term energy and related products.

The Biomechanical Effects of Kinesiology Taping Methods on Side-Step Cutting Movements in Chronic Ankle Instability.
Healthcare (Basel)

Faculty of Sports Science, Ningbo University, Ningbo 315211, China.
: The ankle joint is among the most vulnerable areas for injuries during daily activities and sports. This study focuses on individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI), comparing the biomechanical characteristics of the lower limb during side-step cutting under various conditions. The aim is to analyze the impact of kinesiology tape (KT) length on the biomechanical properties of the lower limb during side-step cutting, thereby providing theoretical support and practical guidance for protective measures against lower-limb sports injuries.

We analytically solve the Landau-Lifshitz equations for the collective magnetization dynamics in a synthetic antiferromagnet (SAF) nanoparticle and uncover a regime of barrier-free switching under a short small-amplitude magnetic field pulse applied perpendicular to the SAF plane. We give examples of specific implementations for forming such low-power and ultra-fast switching pulses. For fully optical, resonant, barrier-free SAF switching we estimate the power per write operation to be pJ, 10-100 times smaller than for conventional quasi-static rotation, which should be attractive for memory applications.

Article Synopsis
- Bacterial resistance is increasing, necessitating innovative strategies for effective antibiotic treatment.
- Ultra-short propelling magnetic nanochains, designed to mimic natural bacterial movement, enhance the efficacy of antibiotics against biofilm-forming Staphylococcus epidermidis by converting resistant bacteria into sensitive ones.
- These nanochains, activated by a low-intensity rotating magnetic field, operate by mechanically disrupting bacterial structures and working synergistically with antibiotics to completely eliminate biofilms.

The triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) has been proved to be a very promising marine energy harvesting technology. Herein, we have developed a high-performance triboelectric nanogenerator (SD-TENG) with low friction, high durability, swing-induced counter-rotating motion mechanism (SICRMM) and dual potential energy storage and release strategy (DPESRS). The unique counter-rotating motion mechanism enabled SD-TENG to convert the external linear and swing motion energy into rotation motion energy of the inner and outer cylinders, and then converted it into a controllable power output.
