Macrophage extracellular vesicles deliver Mef2d proteins to aggravate Bacteroides fragilis pathogenicity in type 2 diabetes arterial calcification

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Bacteroides fragilis is associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) arterial calcification and can be activated by macrophage‐derived extracellular vesicles (EVs). BF takes up EVs via receptor‐mediated endocytosis, and activation is induced by EV‐derived Mef2d, thereby inhibiting ArsR family transcriptional regulator transcription.

Incidental Detection of Portal Venous Gas During POCUS in a Neonate With Necrotizing Enterocolitis and Intestinal Perforation: A Case Report

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
Point‐of‐care ultrasound performed at the bedside identified hepatic portal venous gas in a critically ill neonate, prompting urgent evaluation and revealing intestinal perforation due to necrotizing enterocolitis. This case highlights the potential of POCUS to accelerate diagnosis when clinical signs are subtle or nonspecific.

From Empire to Aid: Analysing Persistence of Colonial Legacies in Foreign Aid to Africa

Journal of International Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For decades now, Western development agencies and donors have been castigated for their colonial biases in providing aid to Africa. It is well established that donors provide considerably more foreign aid to their former colonies relative to other countries.

Experimental Study on Polymer–Polymer Interfacial Thermal Resistance

Macromolecular Theory and Simulations, Volume 34, Issue 2, March 2025.
Interfacial thermal resistance (ITR) in polymer–polymer interfaces is experimentally measured in this paper by the multi‐layered bulk sample approach. Based on numerical simulation and experimental verification, new techniques of layer‐overlapping samples are developed.

An Improved Air Film Model for Studying the Tilt Characteristics of Aerostatic Thrust Bearings

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, an improved mass‐spring model that treats the lubricating air film as distributed springs is proposed to calculate the static and dynamic angular stiffness of aerostatic thrust bearings. The proposed model refines the traditional mass‐spring model by introducing the spatially varying mechanical properties of the air film and the

Linear Mechatronic Modeling of Rectangular Tank Sloshing Dynamics

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sloshing dynamics in partially filled tanks can strongly influence system‐level behavior when fluid motion couples with rigid‐body dynamics. This paper presents a linear and acausal two‐dimensional sloshing model for rectangular tanks, based on the reformulation of established sloshing theory within a modular, multi‐domain modeling framework ...

Analysis of Mechanical‐Electrical‐Hydraulic Coupled Vibration Response Characteristics of Thermal Control Circulating Pumps Supported by Water‐Lubricated Bearings

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The operational reliability of thermal control circulation pumps is significantly restricted by the multi‐physics coupled environment. To reveal the vibration transmission mechanisms and dynamic response characteristics under multi‐field coupled excitations, a multi‐DOF coupled dynamic representation of the overall system, incorporating the ...

Dynamic Performance Enhancement of a High‐Agility Hypersonic Mechanical System via a Learning‐Augmented Robust Control Architecture

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The design of control systems for high‐agility mechanical systems operating in extreme environments is a significant challenge in nonlinear dynamics. This paper addresses the complex dynamic control problem of a hypersonic interceptor, modeled as a multi‐input multi‐output (MIMO) mechanical system characterized by strong aerodynamic cross ...

An Integrated Numerical and Bollard Pull Evaluation Approach for Early‐Stage Resistance and Thrust Assessment of a Small Craft

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Early‐stage hydrodynamic assessment of slender multihull vessels is challenged by limited geometric maturity, uncertain propulsion integration, and strong sensitivity to operating conditions. Under such constraints, reliance on a single analytical or numerical method may lead to misleading design decisions due to oversimplification or ...
