3D printable and myoelectrically sensitive hydrogel for smart prosthetic hand control by Jinxin Lai, Longya Xiao, Beichen Zhu, Longhan Xie, Hongjie Jiang

“…However, it is difficult to obtain high-fidelity sEMG recordings in areas with intricate curved surfaces, such as the body, because regular sEMG electrodes have stiff structures. In this study, we developed myoelectrically sensitive hydrogels via 3D printing and integrated them into a stretchable, flexible, and high-density sEMG electrodes array. …”

Three‐Dimensional Reconstruction of Tongue of Ionization During the 11 October 2010 Geomagnetic Storm and Evolution Analysis With TIEGCM by L. L. Shan, Y. B. Yao, J. Kong, C. Z. Zhai, C. Zhou, X. X. Chen

“…The simulation result of the Thermosphere‐Ionosphere‐Electrodynamic General Circulation Model (TIEGCM) also showed the same TOI structure. Then, we combined the measured ionospheric data and term‐by‐term analysis of the ion continuity formula in TIEGCM to further identify the principal TOI formation mechanisms. …”

Use of pineapple waste for production of decomposable pots by I. Jirapornvaree, T. Suppadit, A. Popan

“…The optimal physical and chemical properties for a decomposable pot included a 1:0 ratio of pineapple waste to binder, a coarse structure, and a pot thickness of 1 cm. With these properties, the pot degraded in more than 45 days, N and P release rates were 0.49% and 7.97 mg-P/kg, respectively, and the average absorption rate was 258.43%. …”

The importance of transportation networks and urban services in assessing the functional balance of human settlements: The case of the Makkah region in Saudi Arabia by Amani Derbali, Salma Dwidar, Amal Abdelsattar, Donia Abdelgawad, Abdallah Farhi

“…Our investigation highlights the limitations of the region’s urban structure and suggests solutions for addressing their root causes by comparing the current state of the region’s population, which houses 132 urban centers, and an alternative model based on a gravitational urban law utilizing Reilly’s law of retail gravitation (1931), which manipulates data relevant to population and transportation networks. …”

Diversity of beetles (Arthropoda, Insecta, Coleoptera) associated with coniferous forests in Honduras by Mauricio Hernández, Mauricio Michel, Joel García, Geisy Dueñas, Marcela Moncada, Kevin Amaya, Yensi Yánez, Alejandra Pinto, Gabriela Matamoros, Alejandro Zamora, Gustavo Fontecha

“…Within I. apache, evidence of intraspecific genetic diversity was observed, although no population structure was detected. While this research provides an updated inventory of beetle species associated with Honduran coniferous forests, further taxonomic surveys and ecological studies are essential to better understand the spread and impact of bark beetles in pine ecosystems.…”

Minimal differences observed when comparing the morphological profiling of microglia obtained by confocal laser scanning and optical sectioning microscopy by Sânziana Godeanu, Sânziana Godeanu, Mădălina Iuliana Mușat, Anja Scheller, Anja Scheller, Eugen Osiac, Bogdan Cătălin, Bogdan Cătălin

“…BackgroundWhile widefield microscopy has long been constrained by out-of-focus scattering, advancements have generated a solution in the form of confocal laser scanning microscopy (cLSM) and optical sectioning microscopy using structured illumination (OSM). In this study, we aim to investigate, using microglia branching, if cLSM and OSM can produce images with comparable morphological characteristics.ResultsBy imaging the somatosensory microglia from a tissue slice of a 3-week-old mouse and establishing morphological parameters that characterizes the microglial branching pattern, we were able to show that there is no difference in total length of the branch tree, number of branches, mean branch length and number of primary to terminal branches. …”

Effect mechanism of H3PO4 on the formation and transformation of persistent free radicals in biochar by Yajie Gao, Yuan Gao, Aimin Li

“…Yet, H3PO4 reduced PFRs in biochar at high pyrolysis temperature (≥ 500 °C), since the capture of H∙ or HO∙ by PO∙ and the steric hindrance changed by H3PO4, which caused the rearrangement and polycondensation of carbon structure. H3PO4 also favored carbon-centered PFRs as the dominant type. …”

Investigation on Dynamic Propagation Characteristics of In-Plane Cracks in PVB Laminated Glass Plates by Xiaoqing Xu, Bohan Liu, Yibing Li

“…Results show that the interaction between crack tip and stress waves as well as the propagations of stress waves corresponds to the fluctuations of DSIFs at crack tip. Both the structure and material variables are proven to play a very important role in glass cracking DSIFs and thus govern the crack propagation behavior. …”
