Effects of adjustable‐volume transfemoral prosthetic sockets on balance and falls: A randomized clinical trial

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Adjustable‐volume prosthetic sockets have been developed to allow users to accommodate volume fluctuations throughout the day. Improvement in socket fit is thought to enhance the connection between the user's residual limb and prosthesis and may therefore improve postural control and balance.

Rechargeable N‐Halamine Functionalized Ultra‐Thin PES Ultrafiltration Membranes

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
An automated 3D printer‐assisted casting platform is utilized to fabricate ultra‐thin polyethersulfone membranes with precise structural control. The integration of a custom‐synthesized, regenerable N‐halamine homopolymer imparts superior, cyclic antifouling resistance and rapid, broad‐spectrum antibacterial efficacy.

Seedling resistance and chemical defenses against Psylliodes chrysocephala: the roles of seed age and sinapinic acid in Sinapis alba and Brassica napus

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) is a major pest of winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus). We tested B. napus and Sinapis alba seedlings for feeding resistance and underlying chemical defenses. S. alba was least damaged, while metabolite profiles revealed resistance‐linked compounds, highlighting breeding potential for insect ...

World Models for Robotic Manipulation: A Survey

SmartBot, EarlyView.
World models enable robots to anticipate how candidate actions may alter object configurations, contact states, and scene geometry before physical execution. This survey examines world models for robotic manipulation as action‐conditioned predictive systems and organizes the literature according to predicted representations, interfaces between ...

Disentangling contract and law: Legal specificity and contractual governance in public–private partnerships

Strategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary This study examines how legal design shapes contractual governance in public–private partnership (PPP). We argue that PPP‐specific laws do not simply strengthen institutional safeguards; by varying in detail, they also alter the flexibility available for project‐level contracting.

How We Simulate Nanopores

Small Methods, EarlyView.
Nanopore technology has revolutionized single‐molecule sensing, yet it suffers from an inherent interpretive challenge. Molecular dynamics has emerged as a go‐to method for determining the relationship between the structure of translocating molecules and the nanopore current signals.

Dial C for Cipher.

, 2007
We introduce C, a practical provably secure block cipher with a slow key schedule. C is based on the same structure as AES but uses independent random substitution boxes instead of a fixed one. Its key schedule is based on the Blum-Blum-Shub pseudo-random generator, which allows us to prove that all obtained security results are still valid when taking

Semester in Dialogue: A Systems Thinking Approach to Dialogue‐Based Higher Education at Simon Fraser University

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper addresses a gap in the application of systems thinking to higher education programme design. We use the Complexity Theory of Outcome Creation (CTOC), a structured model for working in complexity, to analyse Simon Fraser University's Semester in Dialogue (SiD)—an innovative undergraduate programme applying the ideas of dialogic ...
