WASD -- Water Saving Device [PDF]

arXiv
In response to escalating global drinking water scarcity we propose an innovative, automatic system for reusing clean sink water to flush toilets. Existing solutions for water recycle in the houses involve purifiers and complex treatments, leading to high costs and constant maintenance.

Enhancing Grasping Function with a Thermoresponsive Ionogel Adhesive Glove for Patients with Rheumatic Diseases

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a novel portable grasp‐assist glove, weighing only 47 g. The glove integrates smart adhesive pads and a hands‐free control interface based on IMU, designed to aid rheumatic patients with impaired hand function. The system enables switchable adhesion with independent control and detection of user release intent.

Annotations for Exploring Food Tweets From Multiple Aspects [PDF]

Proceedings of the 2024 Joint International Conference on Computational Linguistics, Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC-COLING 2024)
This research builds upon the Latvian Twitter Eater Corpus (LTEC), which is focused on the narrow domain of tweets related to food, drinks, eating and drinking. LTEC has been collected for more than 12 years and reaching almost 3 million tweets with the basic information as well as extended automatically and manually annotated metadata.

A Solution‐Based Deposition Method Enabling Pigment Blue Edible Electrochemical Transistors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel solution‐based method is presented to produce Copper Phthalocyanine fibrous films displaying effective ion permeability and enhanced transconductance in electrolyte‐gated transistors architectures. Using these films, the first instance of a fully edible electrolyte‐gated transistor with volumetric capacitance, targeting in‐body applications, is

Exercise without Weight Loss Prevents Seasonal Decline in Vitamin D Metabolites: The VitaDEx Randomized Controlled Trial

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In people with overweight or obesity, regular exercise even without weight loss or vitamin D supplementation completely prevents the usual winter decline in the vitamin D metabolite that maintains health at a cellular level, 1,25(OH)2D3, and ameliorates the decline in the vitamin D status marker 25(OH)D.

AhR‐Dependent Induction of β‐Defensin 1 in Colonic Epithelial Cells Regulates Cross‐Talk between Gut Microbiota and Immune Response Leading to Attenuation of Colitis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies a key signaling pathway involving the environmental sensor AhR and antimicrobial peptides, such as BD‐1, in the regulation of intestinal homeostasis. It highlights the role of BD‐1 in regulating gut microbiota and the intestinal immune response.

The Lung Microbiome Modulates Pain‐Like Behavior Via the Lung–Brain Axis in a Nitroglycerin‐Induced Chronic Migraine Mouse Model

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Intratracheal neomycin alters pulmonary microbiota, activating the vagus nerve via lung brain‐derived neurotrophic factor/tropomyosin receptor kinase B (BDNF/TrkB) pathway, further projecting to nucleus of solitary tract (NTS), then dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN), where activated serotoninergic neurons increase brain serotonin, alleviating migraine.

Resilient and Flexible Electrohydrodynamics Pumps for Human–Machine Interfaces

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study introduces resilient and flexible electrohydrodynamic (EHD) pumps designed to enhance human–machine interfaces. These pumps are both quiet and compact, featuring a unique electrode configuration that overcomes the typical limitations associated with dielectric breakdowns and subsequent permanent failures.
