Temperature preferences of dairy calves for heated calf hutches during winter in temperate climate.

J Dairy Sci

January 2025

Clinic for Animal Reproduction, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Freie Universität Berlin, Königsweg 65, 14163 Berlin, Germany. Electronic address:

Article Synopsis
  • Newborn dairy calves struggle with cold stress when transitioning from the womb to colder temperatures, making it vital to understand their temperature preferences in winter conditions.
  • The study evaluated the preferred inside hutch temperature of calves by allowing them to choose among 4 hutches with varying heat lamp configurations, alongside observing their lying behavior over two phases.
  • Results showed that calves spent 90% of their time inside the hutches with no strong temperature preference, but indicated a need for shelter in winter, suggesting that environmental conditions like bedding and milk supply play a role in their comfort.

The choice of organism to host a genetic circuit, the chassis, is often defaulted to model organisms due to their amenability. The chassis-design space has therefore remained underexplored as an engineering variable. In this work, we explored the design space of a genetic toggle switch through variations in nine ribosome binding site compositions and three host contexts, creating 27 circuit variants.

Switchable radiative cooling and solar heating for sustainable thermal management.

Nanophotonics

March 2024

Department of Mechanical Engineering, Seoul National University, 1 Gwanak-ro, Gwanak-gu, Seoul 08826, Republic of Korea.

Radiative thermal management technologies that utilize thermal radiation from nano/microstructure for cooling and heating have gained significant attention in sustainable energy research. Passive radiative cooling and solar heating operate continuously, which may lead to additional heating or cooling energy consumption due to undesired cooling or heating during cold nighttime/winters or hot daytime/summers. To overcome the limitation, recent studies have focused on developing radiative thermal management technologies that can toggle radiative cooling on and off or possess switchable dual cooling and heating modes to realize sustainable and efficient thermal management.

A Molecular Engineering Approach to Conformationally Regulated Conductance Dualism in a Molecular Junction.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

December 2024

Nano-Science Center and Department of Chemistry, University of Copenhagen, Universitetsparken 5, 2100, København Ø, Denmark.

One key aspect for the development of functional molecular electronic devices is the ability to precisely tune and reversibly switch the conductance of individual molecules in electrode-molecule-electrode junctions in response to external stimuli. In this work, we present a new approach to access molecular switches by deliberately controlling the flexibility in the molecular backbone. We here describe two new conductance switches based on bis(triarylamines) that rely on the reversible toggling between two conformers, each associated with vastly different conductances.
