Disability, the Politics of Maiming, and Higher Education in Palestine

Disability Studies Quarterly, 2019
Different pieces of a puzzle are put together to unpack the implications of biopolitical forms in relation to disability in Palestine. Tracing the political connections between Israel and the United States of America (the U.S.), both countries give ...

Osseoperceptive EMG Feedback Improves Grasp Force Control in Myoelectric Prosthetic Hands

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Osseoperception is explored as a non‐invasive pathway for delivering sensory feedback in myoelectric prosthetic control. By encoding the user's electromyographic (EMG) signal through bone‐conducted stimulation, this approach enables predictive grasp force regulation.

Supercapacitor Safety: Overcharge‐Induced Failure Mechanisms in Electrochemical Double‐Layer Capacitors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Time‐resolved synchrotron radiography reveals the internal evolution of electrochemical double‐layer capacitors under abusive overcharge. EDLCs are shown to follow a thermally driven failure pathway involving electrolyte decomposition, gas generation, and structural collapse, distinct from chemically driven thermal runaway effects of Lithium‐ion ...

TECTB Variants Reveal Tectorial Membrane Vulnerability in Dominant Non‐Syndromic Hearing Loss

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
TECTB is a non‐collagenous protein of the tectorial membrane – an extracellular matrix of the cochlea. This study identifies dominant missense variants in TECTB linked to human hereditary deafness in two unrelated families. Genetically engineered mice homozygous for one of the variants are profoundly deaf, whereas heterozygous mice have normal hearing ...

Genealogies of Disability in Global Governance: A Foucauldian Critique of Disability and Development

Foucault Studies, 2015
In this article, I engage with the ways in which disability is governed within the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) (United Nations 2000). Using a Foucauldian perspective on the governing of populations in modern states (Foucault 1991), I problematise

TH/TRs–COL11A2 Axis Mediates Loss of a Differentiated Astrocyte State in Hypogyrified Brains

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Using a gyrencephalic congenital hypothyroidism pig model, this study reveals cerebral atrophy and cortical hypogyrification. Single‐cell sequencing identifies astrocytes as major TH‐responsive cells, with the COL11A2‐enriched Astro‐2 state nearly absent.

Single‐Nucleus Atlas of Spinal Sarcopenia Patients Reveals Disruption of Quiescent and Regenerative Satellite Cell Niches in Fatty‐Infiltrated Muscle

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mechanisms of Fatty Infiltration and Muscle Degeneration. Clinical metadata identified intramuscular fat accumulation as an independent driver of muscle mass decline. Single‐nucleus RNA sequencing of spinal sarcopenia muscle revealed adipogenic reprogramming of fibro‐adipogenic progenitors, satellite‐cell niche disruption, and elevated levels of the ...

Hybrid Metal–Organic Framework‐Derived Dual Active Site Catalysts Enabling Surface‐Enriched Cathode and Modified Zinc Anode for Long‐Life Zinc–Air Batteries

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates the implementation of MOF‐assisted anode and cathode materials for prolonged cycling of zinc‐air batteries with strong redox capability and structural stability. ABSTRACT The surface modification of zinc anodes and the development of effective cathode dual‐functional oxygen electrocatalysts remain of paramount interest for ...

Designing for diversity and designing for disability: New opportunities for libraries to expand their support and advocacy for people with disabilities

The International Journal of Information, Diversity, & Inclusion, 2018
Libraries have a long history of support for and commitment to disabled people, far longer than most other public institutions in society. In some communities in North America, dedicated library services for disabled people have been provided without ...
