Application of low frequency vibration to the turning of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene

Advanced Manufacturing: Polymer & Composites Science
Medical implant manufacturing is a growing sector and therefore requires improved manufacturing practices. In the case of total hip arthroplasty, the most challenging component to meet the ISO standard (ISO 7206-2:2011) is the acetabular liner, often ...

The southern megalopolis: using the past to predict the future of urban sprawl in the Southeast U.S.

PLoS ONE, 2014
The future health of ecosystems is arguably as dependent on urban sprawl as it is on human-caused climatic warming. Urban sprawl strongly impacts the urban ecosystems it creates and the natural and agro-ecosystems that it displaces and fragments.

Parasitic wasp‐associated polydnavirus and venom affect arthropod community assembly on wild cabbage via the caterpillar host

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Cotesia glomerata polydnavirus and venom, either alone or in combination, affect colonisation by members of the arthropod community in a natural field setting. Plants damaged by P. brassicae injected with both polydnavirus and venom were colonised more often by Mamestra brassicae caterpillars, Myzus persicae aphids and aphid parasitoids compared to ...

Protection status and environmental gradients shape butterfly assemblages in an East African tropical ecosystem

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Observed butterfly richness was highest in moderately protected areas. During the dry season, vegetation productivity increased butterfly richness while human population density reduced it. Moderately protected areas supported high butterfly abundance and a high proportion of host‐specialist species.

Giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) gametophytes grow endophytically in red macroalgae: Implications for kelp restoration

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) forests have declined by 95% in Australia since the 1970s due to climate change. Despite expanding restoration efforts, long‐term recovery is still lacking. Factors influencing recruitment by the microscopic gametophyte phase may represent a key mechanism underpinning the successful recovery and restoration of

Gastrointestinal microbiota and barrier integrity in individuals who develop exertional heat illness and pair‐matched controls: A prospective observational cohort study

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract It has been hypothesised that the composition of the gastrointestinal (GI) microbiota contributes to exertional heat illness (EHI) aetiology, but relevant empirical data in humans are lacking. Utilising a unique prospective study design, stool samples and resting blood samples were obtained from 550 individuals prior to (within 3 days ...

Can Hip Passive Range of Motion Predict Hip Microinstability? A Comparative Study

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2023
Background: Hip microinstability is an increasingly recognized cause of pain and disability in young adults. It is unknown whether differences in passive hip range of motion (ROM) exist between patients with versus without hip microinstability ...
