Threats to tropical forest biodiversity are unprecedented due the unparalleled rates of degradation, fragmentation and conversion agriculture (Barlow et al., 2016; Hansen 2013; Newbold 2014; Phalan 2013). Southeast Asia has some highest loss, with only ~19% its intact forests remaining (Achard Estoque 2019; Lewis 2015; Sodhi 2010). The rapid expansion oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) made reg...

As alternatives to conventional metals, new plasmonic materials offer many advantages in the rapidly growing fields of plasmonics and metamaterials. These advantages include low intrinsic loss, semiconductor-based design, compatibility with standard nanofabrication processes, tunability, and others. Transparent conducting oxides such as Al:ZnO, Ga:ZnO and indium-tin-oxide (ITO) enable many high...

Silver sulfide nanocrystals and chalcogenide glasses (ChGs) are two distinct classes of semiconductor materials that have been exploited for new infrared technologies. Each one exhibits particular optoelectronic phenomena, which could be encompassed in a hybrid material. However, the integration of uniformly distributed crystalline phases within an amorphous matrix is not always an easy task. I...

We describe 3D single particle tracking of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) moving along collagen fibers in aqueous environment with twophoton excitation conditions. The photoacoustic effect at the collagen fiber caused by the irradiation with ultrashort, near-infrared laser pulses propels the particles adsorbed to the surface of the collagen fibers. We report the tracking of individual AuNPs in thre...

All-Aluminum metal-insulator-metal resonator structures with multiple metal-insulator stacks showing resonances in the mid-infrared (MIR) are fabricated. Ultrathin native Al2O3 is used as the insulator layers enabling simple fabrication of the resonator structures. The structures with two oxide layers exhibit two distinct resonances in the MIR. Simulation of these structures shows confinement o...

TREM2 is a pattern recognition receptor, expressed on microglia and myeloid cells, detecting lipids A? inducing an innate immune response. Missense mutations (e.g., R47H) of increase risk Alzheimer's disease (AD). The soluble ectodomain wild-type (sTREM2) has been shown to protect against AD in vivo, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. We show that oligomers bind cellular TREM2, shedding...

Many tropical forests are dominated by edge habitat, with consequences for forest structure, carbon stocks, and biodiversity. However, effects highly variable context-dependent, poorly quantified in oil palm landscapes. We studied 10 lowland rainforest remnants bordering mature plantations on Borneo, surveying 0.2 ha plots along transects running perpendicular to the (ten 1.6 km transects, 5-6 ...
