‘The uses of ethnography in the science of cultural evolution’. Commentary on Mesoudi, A., Whiten, A. and K. Laland ‘Toward a unified science of cultural evolution’ [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
There is considerable scope for developing a more explicit role for ethnography within the research program proposed in the article. Ethnographic studies of cultural micro-evolution would complement experimental approaches by providing insights into the “

Red‐to‐Blue Upconversion Nanoparticles Catalyze Aqueous Radical Polymerization

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Encapsulation of a red‐to‐blue upconversion pair into polymer nanoparticles gives water‐stable heterogeneous nanocatalysts with distinguished stability. Red light irradiation of these nanocatalysts initiates aqueous polymerization of a series of acrylates with high conversion yields.

Probabilistic facial feature extraction using joint distribution of location and texture information [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In this work, we propose a method which can extract critical points on a face using both location and texture information. This new approach can automatically learn feature information from training data.

Magnetic Field Driven Microrobot Based on Hydrogels

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Hydrogel‐based magnetic microrobots synergize remote magnetic control with the biocompatibility of flexible hydrogels, emerging as promising tools for minimally invasive biomedicine. This enables remotely controllable, untethered navigation within complex biological microenvironments.

Age Estimation Based on AAM and 2D-DCT Features of Facial Images

open access: yes, 2015
This paper proposes a novel age estimation method - Global and Local feAture based Age estiMation (GLAAM) - relying on global and local features of facial images. Global features are obtained with Active Appearance Models (AAM).

Data‐Driven Printability Modeling of Hydrogels for Precise Direct Ink Writing Based on Rheological Properties

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A predictive model for 3D printability is developed by integrating rheological analysis, including the Large Amplitude Oscillatory Shear (LAOS) test, with machine learning. With prediction errors under 10%, the model shows that post‐extrusion recovery controls horizontal printability, while high‐strain‐rate nozzle flow dictates vertical printability ...

Epithelium‐Inspired, Ultrahigh‐Toughness, Ultralow‐Hysteresis, and Highly Compressible Polymer Hydrogels as Self‐Powered, Visual, and Underwater Strain Sensors

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by epithelial tissue, epithelium‐like structure hydrogels are synthesized. The as‐prepared hydrogels exhibit ultrahigh toughness, ultralow hysteresis, and ultrahigh compressibility, which can be utilized as self‐powered and visual strain sensors.

An Opto‐Actuated Hydrogel for Cell Mechanoactuation and Real‐Time Force Monitoring

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Researchers developed a mechanoactuated hydrogel interface where nanomachines exert forces on adhesion receptors and allow monitoring of traction force responses in real time. They demonstrate reversible talin recruitment, enhanced F‐actin polymerization, and a reduction in cell traction force when force is locally applied to focal adhesions of ...

Association between Age at Menarche and Hypertension among Females in Southern China: A Cross-Sectional Study

open access: yesInternational Journal of Hypertension, 2019
Background. Association between age at menarche (AAM) and hypertension remains a controversial topic, and data in China were sparse. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the association between AAM and hypertension in Chinese female population. Methods. In
