Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult

The Stabilization of High‐Nitrogen Systems: 10 Catenated Nitrogen Chain

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Improving the understanding of high‐nitrogen materials. ABSTRACT High‐nitrogen materials have attracted intense interest in recent decades due to their unique chemical, physical, and biological properties. Stabilizing high‐nitrogen materials is often challenging as they become more unstable with increasing nitrogen catenation and nitrogen mass ...

Experimental study on burning rate and flame geometry in construction tunnel fires under high geothermal conditions

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract As tunnel construction advances in lengths and depths, the construction of tunnels in high geothermal environments has become increasingly common, raising significant fire risks. In this study, a 1:20 scale model tunnel test platform was constructed to investigate the effects of a high geothermal environment on fire behavior in tunnels during ...

Effect of the method of production of the blends on mechanical and structural properties of biodegradable starch films produced by blown extrusion

open access: yes, 2011
Biodegradable starch films can be produced by blown extrusion, but it is necessary to add a plasticizer, e.g., glycerol, to decrease the rigidity and blend with other biodegradable polymers, such as poly (butylene adipate co-terephthalate) (PBAT) because

Lithium Metal Anode Fabrication: Methods, Challenges, and Strategies

open access: yesEcoEnergy, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of four representative fabrication techniques for thin lithium metal anodes: extrusion, molten lithium infusion, electroplating, and physical vapor deposition (PVD). ABSTRACT The pursuit of ultra‐high energy‐dense lithium‐metal batteries (LMBs) has reignited the drive to fabricate ultrathin high‐quality lithium metal anodes. This
