Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review
VIEW, EarlyView.Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Oxygen performance of contact lenses: A human eye model
, 1981 Since Smesler and Ozanics1 demonstrated the affinity of the cornea for atmospheric oxygen, contact lens investigators have become increasingly concerned with maximising oxygen availability to the contact lens wearing cornea.

Corneal transplantation: Restoring sight to the blind
Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.Abstract Corneal blindness is one of the leading causes of vision loss worldwide. Transplantation of the cornea can restore vision and make blind patients see again. Corneal transplant surgery has undergone major evolution in recent decades with the advent of minimally invasive lamellar surgical approaches such as DMEK and DALK.

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.UV exposure induces cuticular and cortical damage in natural hair, with oxidative effects and protein degradation comparable to bleaching. However, double bleaching leads to significantly greater structural degradation, emphasizing distinct mechanisms and severity of chemical versus UV‐induced damage. Abstract The combination of chemist techniques is a

Field restriction and vignetting in contact lenses with opaque peripheries
, 1998 Background: Some previous researchers have shown empirically that visual fields can be restricted by contact lenses with opaque and semi-opaque peripheral zones.

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.Abstract Joint Brillouin–Raman micro‐spectroscopy (BRMS) enables simultaneous, non‐destructive characterisation of the mechanical and chemical properties of soft materials at the micrometre scale, combining GHz‐range viscoelastic information from acoustic modes with the vibrational fingerprint of molecular species.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction In coral reef restoration, sexual reproduction is a key methodology to enhance coral population recovery. However, post‐settlement survival remains a major bottleneck, as spat are particularly vulnerable to competition with fouling organisms.

Regular replacement of rigid contact lenses alleviates binding to the cornea
, 1996 The binding of rigid contact lenses to the cornea is a phenomenon that is poorly understood. A variety of strategies have been advocated for the resolution of this problem.

Advances in Floating Solar Desalination Systems
Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.This review critically classifies floating solar desalination systems into five main categories and compares their thermal performance, productivity and technological limitations. Membrane‐based and multieffect systems showed the highest efficiencies, while traditional designs remain limited by heat losses and scaling.
