Shaping Function: Polymeric 3D Systems With Unconventional Geometries for Biomedical Applications

Small, EarlyView.
Particle shape is a key design parameter governing biological interactions. Advances in fabrication enable precise control over anisotropy and compartmentalization, allowing modulation of cellular uptake, transport, and biodistribution, ultimately enhancing therapeutic performance. ABSTRACT Polymer geometry is a primary determinant of physical behavior

Zonal flow regimes in rotating anelastic spherical shells: an application to giant planets

, 2013
The surface zonal winds observed in the giant planets form a complex jet pattern with alternating prograde and retrograde direction. While the main equatorial band is prograde on the gas giants, both ice giants have a pronounced retrograde equatorial jet.

Academic Buoyancy in Second Level Schools: Insights from Ireland

Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences, 2015
AbstractAcademic Buoyancy has been described as a students’ ability to successfully navigate the everyday challenges that are typical of school life. This project sought to ascertain whether there are distinguishing features of this buoyancy that can be identified in young people in the Irish second level context, and if so, what these were ...

Precise 3D Tracking of Highly Non‐Planar Eukaryotic Flagellar Beating Patterns Using Digital Holographic Microscopy

Small Methods, EarlyView.
The 3D beating dynamics of eukaryotic flagella drive motility, sensory functions, and resource acquisition, yet highly non‐planar beating patterns remain poorly characterized. Based on Digital Holographic Microscopy, holoV3C enables label‐free 3D reconstruction of such complex dynamics with 53 nm axial resolution, demonstrated on mouse sperm and ...

Experiences of parents of children with special needs: Educational services, challenges and recommendations from parents' perspectives

British Journal of Special Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Parents of children with special needs in Nigeria are faced with several challenges. In most cases, decisions are taken without their active involvement, despite them being the primary carers for their children with special needs. This research utilised a qualitative research design with fifteen participants to understand parents' perspectives

ON THE BRIGHTER SIDE OF THE NIGHT: Discovering Community and Care in Night Shift Work

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Within the burgeoning attention being paid to the night‐time economy (NTE) in and by cities, the demands and impacts of night work have gathered increasingly scholarly attention. Research has centred on the darker side of these, pointing to workers' precarity and vulnerability. What if we attend also to a ‘brighter side’ of the night and night

Advancing fetal autopsy in cases of maceration: Underwater dissection technique and its forensic relevance

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Fetal autopsy remains essential for determining the cause of intrauterine death and for supporting clinical, genetic, and forensic evaluations. However, in cases of advanced maceration, autolysis severely compromises tissue integrity, often preventing adequate identification of anatomical structures and limiting the diagnostic and medico‐legal

Blubber Thickening Driven by UCP1 Inactivation: Insights from a Cetacean‐Like Transgenic Mouse Model

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
UCP1 inactivation of cetaceans in mice drives BAT whitening and iWAT hyperplasia, promoting fat accumulation for aquatic adaptation. Abstract Cetaceans possess thick blubber, a specialized adipose tissue essential for thermal insulation, a streamlined body form, energy storage, and buoyancy. However, the mechanisms that underpin this adaptation are not
