Transfer Printing and Reconfiguration of Soft Electronics Using Digital Microfluidics and Laser Machining

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This paper presents a digital microfluidics‐based technique for transferring and reconfiguring soft nanomembranes. Laser‐machined nanothin membranes are picked up, transported, and aligned via tailored surface tension and the actuation of water droplets, enabling the development of flexible electronics, the integration of functional materials on 3D ...

Atomistic Mechanisms Triggered by Joule Heating Effects in Metallic Cu‐Bi Nanowires for Spintronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bi doped metallic Cu nanowires are promising for spintronics thanks to the stabilization of a giant spin Hall effect. However, heat resulting from current injection forces Bi to leave solution, forcing segregation into monoatomic decorations which evolve into coherent crystalline aggregates.

Asymptotic theory for a Leidenfrost drop on a liquid pool [PDF]

, 2018
Droplets can be levitated by their own vapour when placed onto a superheated plate (the Leidenfrost effect). It is less known that the Leidenfrost effect can likewise be observed over a liquid pool (superheated with respect to the drop), which is the ...

PSMA8‐Containing 20S Proteasome Regulates Spermiogenesis and Male Fertility

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
PSMA8 assembles s20S proteasome that degrades specific substrates in elongating spermatids. Degradation of s20S‐substrates activates translation of FXR1‐target mRNAs, which are essential for mitochondrial sheath formation and sperm morphogenesis.

Dynamic finite-strain modelling of the human left ventricle in health and disease using an immersed boundary-finite element method [PDF]

, 2014
Detailed models of the biomechanics of the heart are important both for developing improved interventions for patients with heart disease and also for patient risk stratification and treatment planning.

Contrasts or Carryover? Demands–Capabilities Fit and Task‐Level Intrinsic Motivation Across the Workday

Journal of Organizational Behavior, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the course of a workday, employees attend to various tasks whose challenge might be equal to, higher than, or lower than employees' present level of capabilities. Moreover, employees encounter these tasks sequentially throughout the day with different levels of prior motivation. Investigating carryover effects in motivation from one task to

Pig Seminal Plasma Extracellular Vesicles Enhance Motility During Preservation of Epididymal Spermatozoa but Impair Capacitation and IVF Parameters

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Extracellular vesicles (EVs) produced by accessory sex glands play a key role in sperm functionality, influencing motility, viability, acrosome integrity, metabolic activity, and capacitation. Most studies on the effects of EVs on spermatozoa have focused on ejaculated spermatozoa, which have already been exposed to their own native

An efficient method for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on irregular domains with no-slip boundary conditions, high order up to the boundary

, 2013
Common efficient schemes for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, such as projection or fractional step methods, have limited temporal accuracy as a result of matrix splitting errors, or introduce errors near the domain boundaries (which destroy ...

Bottom changes in coastal areas with complex shorelines [PDF]

, 2017
A model for the sea-bottom change simulations in coastal areas with complex shorelines is proposed. In deep and intermediate water depths, the hydrodynamic quantities are calculated by numerically integrating the contravariant Boussinesq equations ...

Testis‐Enriched F‐Box Protein FBXO39 Is Important for Spermiogenesis and Male Fertility in Mice

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The SCF (Skp–Cullin–F‐box) complex is a major class of E3 ubiquitin ligases. F‐box proteins constitute the SCF complex and play a critical role in recognizing substrates for ubiquitination. In mice, several F‐box proteins, including FBXO36 and FBXO39, are predominantly expressed in testes.
