Design and Evaluation of an Electromagnetic Bounce-Type Refreshable Braille Display by Dapeng Chen, Song Zhang, Lianshun Shen, Chenkai Li, Jianying Hua, Jia Liu, Aiguo Song

“…By passing current in different directions to the coil, the electromagnet can bounce up and down between the two permanent magnets under the action of magnetic force, thereby achieving changes in the raised state of the Braille dot. The permanent magnets placed in staggered positions have an attractive and supportive effect on the electromagnet, so the raised Braille dot can be locked in a specific position when the electromagnet is not powered on and provide a large latching force. …”

Multispecies occupancy models unravel reduced colonization probabilities in plants from the unique Amazonian cangas by Rafael de Fraga, Luiz Gustavo Rodrigues Oliveira Santos, Valeria da Cunha Tavares, Leonardo Carreira Trevelin, Maurício Takashi Coutinho Watanabe, Leandro Maioli, Samir Rolim, Carolina da Silva Carvalho

“…Our results indicate that for some wide-ranging species, negative metapopulation equilibrium was restricted to mining plots, indicating sensitivity of these species to environmental changes caused by mining. For some endemic species, apparent population declines are more likely to be occurring due to natural causes than to the negative effects of mining.…”
