    Abstract This study uses matrix optics to develop a model to predict depth of field in eyes that may have astigmatic elements and apertures that may be elliptical in general. Depth of field is modelled as the visual acuity (VA) as a function of working distance and is illustrated graphically for model eyes that have artificial intraocular pinhole apertures. A small amount of residual myopia is an advantage to increasing the depth of field at near without interfering with distance-vision. A small amount of residual astigmatism is not an advantage to increasing depth of field, without compromising VA at all distances.

    Abstract Although traditional perm chemistry has been around for over 70 years, it still arguably remains our best means of permanently altering the shape of hair. The hullabaloo created by the so-called Brazilian keratin treatments has led to resurgence in research activities in this area-and so an overview of the incumbent technology would seem pertinent. This review highlights underlying chemistry responsible for the success of traditional thioglycolate solutions but makes the case that our knowledge gap lies with the kinetics of the process. To this end, the merits and limitations of the single-fiber tensile kinetic approach are addressed-where, despite seemingly questionable assumptions, logical outcomes are obtained from systematic experiments intended to probe the validity of this method. Furthermore, results demonstrate how considerably different rates can arise between a common perm solution and hair from different sources. It is therefore proposed that "resistant" hair is a consequence of slow reaction rates which lead to an insufficient number of cystine disulfide bonds being broken during the processing time. Additional analysis of these kinetic data suggests the presence of different mathematical models that describe the progression of the process with varying experimental conditions. The reproducibility of results and the frequency with which models arise add confidence to findings.

    Abstract Although invasive non-native species can adversely affect biodiversity in many ways, predation of native species by non-native species on islands can be severely damaging. Results of numerous studies document non-native birds preying on birds on islands, but our understanding of the number and type of species affected has been limited by the lack of a global review of these impacts. I identified the non-native bird species that have been recorded preying on birds, the locations where this predation occurred, and the bird species affected. Because the impacts of non-native birds can be particularly severe on small islands, I then identified the islands <500 km

    Abstract In nature, woodpeckers peck trees with no reported brain injury. A highly functional system comprising a hyoid bone, smooth skull, straight pointed beak with varying lengths of upper and lower beak bones, and rhamphotheca is one of the adaptations that enable efficient pecking. Soil penetration is an energy-intensive procedure used in civil infrastructure applications and is often followed by pushing, impact driving, and digging. This study uses discrete element modeling to evaluate the effect of woodpecker beak mimetic intruder tip design with wedge offsets on lift and drag forces during horizontal penetration into granular piles. The findings show that the wedge offsets of the intruder have a negligible effect on drag forces. By contrast, lift forces can be manipulated by adjusting the top and bottom offsets of the intruder, which can be used to guide the intruder upward, downwards, or horizontally. Furthermore, as the width of the intruder increased, the lift and drag forces also increased.
