Targeted Muscle Reinnervation for Intuitive Prosthetic Control

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The convergence of medical and technological advances has led to a substantial expansion of therapeutic approaches for patients with limb amputations. Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is one of the strategies to improve control of bionic arms and has been applied for more than two decades. Through surgical rewiring of the nerves responsible

Multi‐Modal Imaging of the Loading Heterogeneity in Blended Films of Amorphous and Semi‐Crystalline Polymers During Stretching

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Correlated and spatially resolved small and wide angle X‐ray scattering and vibrational spectroscopy have been used as contrast to image failure regions in polymer blend films. The correlated imaging approach reveals molecular detail of the mechanism of failure and molecular scale insight into an enhanced performance of polylactic acid films blended ...

Inferring Brown Bear Hair Snare Interactions by Automatically Detecting Bipedalism on Camera Trap Images Using Pose Estimation and a Multilayer Perceptron

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study proposes an automated method to infer brown bear hair snare interactions by detecting bipedal behavior in camera‐trap images using a pose estimation model and a multilayer perceptron (MLP). A YOLO‐based model, fine‐tuned from humans and dogs to a custom dataset, achieved high performance (≈93% keypoint precision and ≈96% classification ...

Climate Crisis, Human Mobility and Security Challenges in the MENA Region: Implications for Sustainable Development and Regional Stability

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the interplay between climate change, violent conflict and forced migration in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), focusing on asylum flows to the European Union (EU). By integrating high‐resolution climate, conflict and socioeconomic data spanning 2000 to 2023, we develop a comprehensive empirical framework to ...

Auxiliary selection across Catalan dialects: an overview

Borealis: An International Journal of Hispanic Linguistics
This article presents a comprehensive description of auxiliary selection in Catalan. Specifically, after explaining how the phenomenon worked in Old Catalan, we show what are the factors (such as the event/argument structure or the grammatical person ...

Assessing Eco‐Efficiency and the Cost of Carbon Abatement in Wastewater Treatment: Evidence From Spain

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) play a critical role in protecting public health and the environment but are also contributors to carbon emissions. Improving the eco‐efficiency of WWTPs is essential for advancing sustainability in the sector.

How Brazilian Public Universities Are Operationalizing The SDGs: Strategic Plans Analysis

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the importance of universities for Sustainable Development, only a handful of studies have evaluated the implementation levels of SDGs in HEIs in Latin America. To fill this void, this study examines the strategic plans of 70 Brazilian public universities, which account for 92.8% of Federal Universities.

Operationalizing the Waste Hierarchy Though A Synthetic Performance Indicator: Evidence From Spain

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ensuring compliance with the European Union (EU) waste hierarchy is essential for advancing circular economy objectives and meeting legally binding municipal solid waste (MSW) targets. This study develops and applies the Waste Hierarchy Achievement Synthetic Indicator (WHASI), an innovative synthetic index designed to assess territorial ...

Laser‐Assisted In Situ Fabrication of rGO/Bi2O3 Nanocomposites for Heavy Metal Sensing

Small, EarlyView.
Rapid CO2 laser irradiation drives the in situ formation of Bi2O3 nanoplatelets within reduced graphene oxide, yielding flexible, reproducible electrodes with excellent stripping voltammetric performance toward trace heavy metals. ABSTRACT In this work, we introduce a laser‐assisted approach to synthesize reduced graphene oxide/bismuth oxide (III) (rGO/

Quantitative Imaging of Human Hemoglobin Binding to Staphylococcus aureus With Single‐Molecule Resolution

Small, EarlyView.
Single‐molecule localization microscopy is exploited to quantify the number of hemoglobin copies bound to specific receptors on S. aureus wall. This quantification supports the design of a photoactive derivative of hemoglobin able to photo‐inactivate S.
