Support structures are essential in additive manufacturing (AM) processes such as material extrusion, particularly for fabricating parts with overhanging features. However, conventional supports are typically removed after printing and cannot be reused, resulting in significant material waste and increased printing time.

As a reliability analysis method for evaluating systems, failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is widely used to assess potential failure modes and their impacts on systems. However, FMEA faces limitations: the handling of expert evaluation information and their weights during the assessment and aggregation of risk evaluation information can ...

Amyloid Forming Human Lysozyme Intermediates are Stabilized by Non‐Native Amide‐π Interactions
Mutational variants of human lysozyme cause fatal systemic amyloidosis by depositing kilograms of protein in the viscera of patients. Central to this process is a partially unfolded protein intermediate state that initiates aggregation into amyloid fibrils.

Autonomous Artificial Molecular Motors and Pumps
Autonomous energy consumption is the only way to introduce molecular motors into more sophisticated, larger systems, capable of life‐like behavior. We reviewed a selection of the most recent advances in the field molecular motors focusing on those capable of performing continuous and autonomous motion under constant experimental conditions, that is ...

Functional, pathogenic, and pharmacological roles of protein folding intermediates
Abstract Protein expression and function in eukaryotic cells are tightly harmonized processes modulated by the combination of different layers of regulation, including transcription, processing, stability, and translation of messenger RNA, as well as assembly, maturation, sorting, recycling, and degradation of polypeptides.

Robust coupling between the C‐tactile afferent and the hair follicle in humans
Abstract figure legend A single hair was carefully deflected using forceps during microneurography, which facilitates direct recording of single nerve fibre responses in awake participants. Recordings from 15 consecutive C‐tactile (CT) afferents, where the response to hair deflection was investigated, showed that individual CT afferents respond to ...

DuckyDog: An Erect Amphibious Robot with Variable‐Stiffness Legs and Passive Fins
DuckyDog, a quadruped amphibious robot using erect posture, is proposed with dog‐inspired tendon‐driven compliant legs for walking and paddling, a duck‐inspired body for buoyancy, and passive fins to increase propulsion. It achieves maximum speeds of 0.4 body lengths per second on land and 0.3 on water, demonstrating the ability to navigate in complex ...

Abstract Reciprocity and relationality are themes which frequently emerge with respect to human–nature associations in Indigenous groups around the world. But many hunter‐gatherers have been shown to reject systems of reciprocity, instead favouring unconditional sharing both between each other and their environment through egalitarian social structures.

Conservation measures like educational awareness and livelihood development schemes are common practice among wildlife conservationists. However, long‐term impact of such interventions are rarely assessed. Through our study (Six years), we observed a >20% increase (p < 0.05) in support for sun bears among respondents lacking a formal education and ...

This article demonstrates the important role family narratives can play in providing ethical, person‐centred support for people with severe intellectual disabilities living in supported accommodation. Focusing on the story of Daniel, a 65‐year‐old man residing in a group home in Australia, I illustrate, through the lens of his mother Arleen, how family
