Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.Objective Ultrasound (US) has been proposed as a potential tool for assessing skin fibrosis in systemic sclerosis (SSc). However, a large‐scale comparison of US‐based assessment with histological markers of skin fibrosis has not been reported. We evaluated the US‐based skin assessments for their face validity (differentiation between involved SSc and ...

Open Archaeology, 2017 The introduction of copper-based metals in Sicily appears to have been a particularly late and slow process. A program of pXRF analyses on early metals in Sicily has revealed the use of mostly copper, and a very late introduction of tin.

Experimental Analysis and Physics‐Based Analytical Model on Twisted and Coiled Artificial Muscles
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Twisted and coiled artificial muscles made from silver‐coated nylon fibers are investigated through experiments and analytical modeling. The actuators achieve contractions up to 19.3% and specific work of 8 kJ kg−1, though efficiency remains limited (≈0.15%) by thermal losses.

Une coopération franco-chinoise : les fouilles du site de Gongying
Archéopages, 2010 Chinese archaeology developed independently of Western influence. China's opening-up to international trade also produced changes in how Chinese archaeologists went about their work as they were able to observe the practices of their Western colleagues ...

Substrate Stress Relaxation Regulates Cell‐Mediated Assembly of Extracellular Matrix
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Silicone‐based viscoelastic substrates with tunable stress relaxation reveal how matrix mechanics regulates cellular mechanosensing and cell‐mediated matrix remodelling in the stiff regime. High stress relaxation promotes assembly of fibronectin fibril‐like structures, increased nuclear localization of YAP and formation of β1 integrin‐enriched ...

CONCERNING BRONZE AGE FUNERARY FINDS FROM MEDIAŞ
Journal of Ancient History and Archaeology, 2023 The paper discusses certain funerary finds, especially some possible ones, belonging to the Bronze Age, from the Mediaş-“Hăşmaş” site. Besides a Wietenberg cremation grave, there are arguments for including other finds among those with a Wietenberg ...

Ionic Control of Microstructure and Lubrication in Charged, Physically Cross‐Linked Hydrogels
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Here, charged, physically cross‐linked poly(methacrylamide‐co‐methacrylic acid) hydrogels stabilized by a short‐range attractive, long‐range repulsive potential is investigated. This work uncovers how salt addition alters not only swelling, but also the microstructure and dynamics, near‐surface stiffness and charge, and ultimately, its lubricity. Salts
