HIGD1A Alleviates Oxidative Stress Related Ovarian Hypofunction by Enhancing Granulosa Cell Functions via NF‐κB/SOD2 Signaling Pathway

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
HIGD1A maintains redox homeostasis in granulosa cells by modulating SOD2‐mediated dismutation of superoxide into H2O2, which is cleared by CAT and GPX enzymes. However, reduced HIGD1A activates the NF‐κB pathway and upregulates SOD2, leading to intracellular H2O2 accumulation due to impaired clearance.

Positively Deviant Organizational Performance and the Role of Leadership Values [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Cameron cites the infusion of collaborative values and restructuring of relationships as a primary reason for the successful clean up and closure of Rocky Flats, one of U.S.’s most hazardous and controversial toxic dumps.

A Wearable AI‐Driven Mask with Humidity‐Sensing Respiratory Microphone for Non‐Vocal Communication

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A wearable, plug‐and‐play respiratory microphone—featuring a gold nanoparticle‐based humidity sensor—facilitates voice‐free verbal communication for patients with impaired vocal fold function. Abstract Hoarseness and dysphonia caused by vocal cord conditions or laryngeal surgeries significantly hinder communication and quality of life.

Cross-Domain Influences on Creative Processes and Products

open access: yes, 2018
According to the honing theory of creativity, the iterative process culminating in a creative work is made possible by the self-organizing nature of a conceptual network, or worldview, and its innate holistic tendency to minimize inconsistency.

Thinking as mental model-building: a Piagetian-cum-mechanistic explanation of the 'engram' [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Piaget (like Skinner) appears to deny the relevance or possibility of describing thought in mechanistic terms. Nevertheless, this paper attempts to outline one way in which this might be done for Piaget's concepts.

Dedifferentiation and Transfer in Executive Function and Math Ability Following a Five‐Year Abacus Training in Schoolchildren

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
While cognitive development typically exhibits differentiation, marked by decreasing inter‐domain correlations, this study demonstrates that five‐year abacus training is associated with de‐differentiation of executive function and mathematical ability in school‐aged children.

Ostrich or eagle? Protection and professionalism in sport science and coaching [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
In this presentation I examine the processes of professionalisation and mutual development within and between two occupational groups in the UK - sport and exercise scientists and sports coaches. At the outset I acknowledge the ‘cultural turn’ in science

Stiffness‐Tunable Neurotentacles for Minimally Invasive Implantation and Long‐Term Neural Activity Recordings

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A hydraulically actuated “Neurotentacle” probe offers tunable stiffness for precise implantation into the deep brain without rigid shuttles or dissolvable coatings. It stiffens during insertion to penetrate tissue and softens afterward to minimize damage and enable stable long‐term recordings.
