Been a while since I've posted my art here. These are just some of the designs I've come up with for some of my BioSource characters. I've recently started finally getting ideas for a set plot for the story and I've made a lot of progress fleshing it out, but I still have a TON of work to do on it!

From Waste to Resource: Reducing Food Waste for a Greener Future

One of the major global problems is food waste, where about one-third of all food produced ends up in landfills. Not only does it waste scarce resources, but it also influences climate change, as most decomposing food emits methane, a greenhouse gas much more potent than carbon dioxide. Reducing food waste is required to create a cleaner, greener planet. As expert Shahryar Oveissi demonstrates, solving this problem would reduce the environmental effects it causes and encourage sustainable food consumption and disposal practices.

Dandelion News - March 22-28

Like these weekly compilations? Tip me at $kaybarr1735 or check out my Dandelion Doodles! This month’s doodles, like every third month, will be free to the public, so take a look!

1. Crucial and heartwarming: see world’s first-ever wild jaguar translocation in Argentina

“Miní[, an offspring of rewilded jaguars,] is the first-ever release of a wild-born jaguar that’s been translocated for conservation purposes. […] Miní has joined two previously captive female jaguars [in a park] where a small, all-male wild population had been dwindling.”

2. Illinois Gov. Pritzker stands up for LGBTQ+ community in fiery HRC speech

“The governor particularly spoke out for transgender youth, saying we must not sacrifice the most persecuted for the most popular. [… “]Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only, a punch in the face.”

3. The UK’s First ‘Stork Village’ Takes Flight

“For the first time in more than six centuries, white storks are calling Britain home again thanks to a dedicated conservation initiative to save the species. […] At the end of 2024, breeding numbers saw egg-straordinary results with 27 nests and 53 baby storks, doubling the previous year’s numbers.”

4. A quiet shift: The grid is being redefined by household consumers who no longer need it full time

“With rising adoption of rooftop solar, batteries, and electric vehicles, households are gradually altering their relationship with the grid. […] This redefined relationship doesn’t signal rejection — it reflects the growing capacity of households to meet part of their own needs.”

5. Europe’s Wolf Population On The Rise

““The recovery of wolves across human-dominated landscapes of Europe has been continuing during the past decade, with their population growing to over 21,500 individuals by 2022—a 58% increase in a decade,” the authors wrote. [… O]n average wolves killed 0.02% of livestock each year.”

6. Hospitals awarded funding for solar power work

“The investment of £8.5m by state-owned Great British Energy will enable rooftop panels and solar car ports to be installed at [several hospitals]. […] "Together, these panels will generate estimated savings of more than £635,000 a year."”

7. Nebraska Boards Sponsor Grain Bin Rescue Equipment, Training for Fire Departments

“[Nebraska Corn and Soybean boards are] donating two grain rescue tubes and two training sessions to fire and rescue departments in Nebraska. [… T]he initiative aims to equip rural fire and rescue teams with the knowledge and tools to respond to grain bin entrapments effectively.“

8. Sugar beet pulp fibers show potential for nutritional supplements and sustainable plastic alternatives

“New technology can separate the fibers in the sugar beet pulp left over after sugar production. Part of the fiber can be used as a nutritional supplement due to its anti-inflammatory properties[… and a]nother part of the fiber, the cellulose, can be made into components to replace, for example, plastic.”

9. Osmotic Power: The Next Wave of Renewable Energy

“Sweetch Energy’s technology could [produce] around 20 or 25 W/m2, a significant leap compared to the 1 W/m2 achieved by previous membrane devices. Moreover, by utilizing a biosourced material readily available within the industry for their membranes, the company anticipates the cost of materials would be reduced to one-tenth of the current price[….]”

10. Renegade Colorado Farmer Pushes Deeper into Unconventional Agriculture

“The grasshoppers stayed in the [pollinator] strips, and that triggered praying mantis to come in and eat. […] An agrivoltaic system […] has reduced moisture consumption by significant levels[….] “Local food nationwide is how to counter the industrial scale food industry.””

The Tyranid Hive Mind has attempted many alterations to its usual array of bioforms designed for war. Not everything can end up advancing the Tyranid body towards the ideal killing machine, in fact, there are many failed strains of Tyranids that have been unleashed on the Imperium of Man in attempt to gain the upper hand against the resistant human biosource.

The lesser known Hive Fleet Cetus, to name one example, developed a rather interesting quirk in its strain of Tyranid bioforms. All variations of the foul Xenos monstrosities from Cetus had unmistakable, remarkably shaped humanoid lips. Full, kissable… some may even say “juicy,” these Xenos monsters took to the field smacking and puckering those lips together. Inquisitor Tarvus Gnull of the Ordo Orallius theorizes that these devastatingly succulent smackers were designed to lure human prey into a deep, and seemingly loving kiss. Once lip locked, the Xenos would then reveal its more monstrous nature, slaying or devouring the faithless dog who dared abandon their post to smooch a nightmare.

Truly terrible.

By chance, or perhaps by the divine machinations of the God-Emperor, Light of Terra, the world Hive Fleet Cetus invaded happened to be a recruiting world of the enigmatic Emerald Kiss-Hawks chapter of Astartes, known for their ability to kiss with the best of them. The world was saved, and the Hive Mind learned that kissing was not an evolutionary requirement to devouring all of mankind.

A new type of recyclable resin, made from biosourced materials, has been designed for use in 3D printing applications. In a study, published today [15 May 2024] in Nature, researchers from the University of Birmingham showed that high-resolution, 3D printed structures can be manufactured from an entirely bio-sourced feedstock. Once they have reached the end of their useful life, the products can be recycled within an almost fully closed-loop system. Photopolymer resins, which harden -- or cure -- on exposure to light, are commonly used in the manufacture of bespoke 3D printed parts. However, while technologies to improve the resolution of 3D printing and its speed of manufacture have advanced considerably, the resins themselves have changed very little since the process first emerged in the 1980s.

[ad_1] The Bioceramic MoonSwatch MISSION TO EARTHPHASE celebrates our two nearest celestial bodies, the Earth and the Moon. Swatch's new non-limited creation not only comes with a moon phase, but more importantly-and for the first time in watchmaking history-an earth phase. Never before have these two poetic complications been combined in the same watch. In so doing, Swatch puts a different spin on Galileo's famous quote "And yet it moves!" and playfully declares "And yet they move!".Bioceramic MoonSwatch MISSION TO EARTHPHASEJust like the Bioceramic MoonSwatch MISSION TO THE MOONPHASE watches, the MISSION TO EARTHPHASEsports a moon phase on the subdial at two o'clock. The celestial body changes based on its cycles, which can be observed using the two-Moon disc and mask (northern and southern hemispheres).As for the earth phase, looking at the dial at ten o'clock, we can admire the movements of our planet as seen from the Moon. The patented earth phase is colored to pay tribute to the diversity and beauty of the blue planet. Clouds are also visible, along with the contrast between oceans, forests and deserts. Adding an otherworldly touch, the oceans are coated with UV ink (blue emission) visible only in UV light.To emphasize this enchanting view of the Moon facing the Earth, the craters of the moon have been created using digital printing. The watch's dial also features a unique graining that resembles lunar dust, further enhancing its resemblance to the Moon.How do these two elements, lunar and terrestrial, fit together The moon phase shows how the Moon appears when seen from Earth. The earth phase shows how the Earth appears when seen from the Moon. The length of a moon phase and an earth phase are the same, 29.5 days. But the cycles are inversely related. So, when there's a Full Moon, we have a New Earth. And when there's a New Moon, we have a Full Earth. This is why the earth phase turns counterclockwise and in the opposite direction to the Moon. This is a kind of poetic reinterpretation of the retrograde function featured in some high-end watches.For the creation of this beautiful watch with its earth phase, Swatch was inspired by Earth as seen from the Moon, a mesmerizing view that has been captured in iconic images during various Apollo missions.Earth photographed from the surface of the Moon by Apollo 17 Astronaut Jack Schmitt But the earth phase and moon phase are not the only notable features on the Bioceramic MoonSwatch MISSION TO EARTHPHASE. Like all the models in the Bioceramic MoonSwatch Collection, MISSION TO EARTHPHASE is made from the brand's patented Bioceramic, a unique mix of two-thirds ceramic and one- third biosourced materials produced from castor oil. The Bioceramic bezel features a black tachymeter scale and striking light gray markers, a newly created color. The watch also has a chronograph function.This new watch, a non-limited edition, sports its mission statement on the back of the case, as well as OMEGA X SWATCH logos on the dial and crown. The Moon appears on the battery cover, bearing the footprint of Neil Armstrong-the first man to set foot there.This new model will please fans with its various characteristic features of OMEGA's legendary Speedmaster Moonwatch, the first watch to go to the Moon, such as the asymmetrical case or the famous dot over ninety on the tachymeter scale.The Bioceramic MoonSwatch MISSION TO EARTHPHASE will be available at selected Swatch stores worldwide from November 2.

New polymer technology targets engineering failure to enhance sustainability

Sustainability is a complex problem with many different players and influenced by policies, society, and technical perspectives. Scientists within ASU's School of Molecular Sciences (SMS) and the Biodesign Institute's Center for Sustainable Macromolecular Materials and Manufacturing (SM3) are pursuing a multi-pronged approach towards a more circular economy, with projects focused on biosourcing, recycling, water purification, or carbon capture to name a few. One obvious strategy to limit the vast amount of materials wasted is to reduce the need to produce plastics worldwide. "That is easier said than done," says associate professor Yoan Simon of ASU's SMS and SM3. "However, the antidote could simply be to prolong the lifespan of parts." From tethers in backpacks to container lids, we are surrounded by parts that must withstand thousands of opening and closing cycles. Likewise, bike and football helmets must withstand repeated impacts and maintain a given level of protection without failing.
