Failure Consequence Cost Analysis of Wave Energy Converters—Component Failures, Site Impacts, and Maintenance Interval Scenarios

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
In the early stages of developing wave energy converter (WEC) projects, a quantitative assessment of component failure consequence costs is essential. The WEC types, deployment site features, and accessibility should all be carefully considered.

Determinants of undergraduate bioscience engagement: Validating attendance barriers and classroom spatial behaviour across institutions

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Student engagement extends beyond simple attendance. Across 891 bioscience students from three universities, attendance behaviour was associated mainly with structural influences, whereas classroom spatial behaviour reflected affective and sensory factors.

Ultrafast visual detection of Streptococcus suis via HtpsC‐targeted LAMP–CRISPR–Cas12a coupled with lateral flow immunochromatography

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
A rapid visual test combines DNA amplification, CRISPR–based target verification, and a lateral flow strip to detect Streptococcus suis. The assay gives results in about 45 min, reduces false‐positive interpretation, and does not require fluorescence equipment.

Fluorination: A strategy to tune the interactions of molecules and nanoscale systems with biological matter

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This minireview explores fluorination as a key strategy to optimize therapeutic molecules and nanocarriers. By incorporating different fluorinated motifs—from single atoms to linear and branched chains—drug delivery, cellular uptake, and colloidal stability can be improved and fine‐tuned.

GBS‐MeDIP: A method for the simultaneous identification of genetic and epigenetic variants in tumors

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
GBS‐MeDIP combines DNA sequencing with enrichment of methylated DNA to profile genetic and epigenetic variation in the same reduced genomic fraction. Applied to gastric cancer and parathyroid tumors, it identifies sequence variants, copy number changes, and differentially methylated regions together, helping distinguish true epigenetic changes from ...

Is Accelerated Partner Therapy (APT) a cost-effective alternative to routine patient referral partner notification in the UK? Preliminary cost-consequence analysis of an exploratory trial.

, 2011
ObjectivesTo undertake a cost-consequence analysis to assess two new models of partner notification (PN), known as Accelerated Partner Therapy (APT Hotline and APT Pharmacy), as compared with routine patient referral PN, for sex partners of people with ...

Economic evaluation of two therapeutic sequences in the first-line treatment of moderate to severe active ulcerative rectocolitis in Italy

AboutOpen
Background: Vedolizumab (VDZ) and infliximab are used to treat moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC). The choice of the drug to use at first-line is often based on a combination of clinical and economic factors.

Rationally engineered polymeric interfaces for selective and dynamic recognition of vesicular agents

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This review explores how molecularly imprinted polymers can be engineered to recognize complex nanoscale vesicles, including extracellular vesicles and membrane‐enveloped viruses. By tailoring polymer cavities to vesicle surface chemistry and structure, these synthetic receptors support selective detection, separation, and integration with optical ...

Potential effect of human chorionic gonadotropin‐induced extracellular vesicle RNAs on mouse ovarian granulosa cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
To mimic the LH action in the ovary, granulosa‐cell and mouse models were stimulated by hCG, which changed RNA profiles within extracellular vesicles (EVs), and potentially hCG‐responsive EV RNAs increased the number of recipient ovarian cells. EV‐associated RNAs are potential intermediaries of hCG signaling.

Ethical Foreground and Background in Adult Educator Work

New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Adult educators work in a complex ethical environment. The very act of contributing to the learning of another is fraught with moral overtones. In this paper we consider the ethical dimensions of adult educator practice by distinguishing the ethical features of the context or ‘background’ of practice from the ethical capabilities and decision ...
