Spring and Power in Hovering Ornithopters

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Only small ornithopters can hover, longest at the hummingbird size. This article reviews the drive and power of these hovering machines, focusing on elastic energy and thrust boosters. Unlike two‐winged designs, X‐winged and multiple‐V‐winged ornithopters benefit from lower disk loading and slower, smaller wingbeats, and the clap‐and‐fling effect ...

‘I Don't Think I Would've Survived Without Having a Constant Support System’: Independent Living Skills Acquisition During the Transition From Care in Western Australia

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For care‐experienced young people, the preparation for leaving out‐of‐home care (OOHC) is vital in support of post‐OOHC outcomes. This research explores the acquisition of Independent Living Skills (ILS) amongst young people in Western Australia and is based on interviews with care‐experienced young people at two time points: while in OOHC and

Early functional and structural hippocampal impairment in a bilateral common carotid artery stenosis mouse model

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Our study used behavioral tests, laser speckle flowmetry, long‐term potentiation, histochemical staining, molecular experiments, and voxel‐based morphometry to evaluate the hippocampal impairments. It demonstrates early functional and structural impairments in the hippocampus contributing to learning and memory deficits after 1 month of BCAS ...

Malignant progression of liver cancer progenitors requires lysine acetyltransferase 7–acetylated and cytoplasm‐translocated G protein GαS

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
KAT7‐acetylated and cytoplasm‐translocated G‐protein GαS enhances IL‐6 effect and drives HCC progenitor cell progression. Abstract Background and Aims Hepatocarcinogenesis goes through HCC progenitor cells (HcPCs) to fully established HCC, and the mechanisms driving the development of HcPCs are still largely unknown.

Intestinal peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor α‐fatty acid‐binding protein 1 axis modulates nonalcoholic steatohepatitis

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Background and Aims Peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor α (PPARα) regulates fatty acid transport and catabolism in liver. However, the role of intestinal PPARα in lipid homeostasis is largely unknown. Here, intestinal PPARα was examined for its modulation of obesity and NASH. Approach and Results Intestinal PPARα was activated and fatty

3D‐Printable Polymer Composites With Unmodified Boron Nitride for Thermal Management in Flexible Electronics

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flexible high‐performance electronics are facing the challenge of managing increasing thermal loads in the latest devices. This study presents a one‐step method for 3D printing flexible boron nitride (BN) polymer composites via vat photopolymerization, enhancing thermal conductivity by 270% to 0.8 W m−1 K−1 and improving dielectric properties (

IL‐31 levels correlate with pruritus in patients with cholestatic and metabolic liver diseases and is farnesoid X receptor responsive in NASH

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
IL‐31 levels correlate with pruritus in patients with cholestatic and metabolic liver diseases Abstract Background and Aims Pruritus is associated with multiple liver diseases, particularly those with cholestasis, but the mechanism remains incompletely understood.

Using large language models to extract plant functional traits from unstructured text

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Functional plant ecology seeks to understand how functional traits govern species distributions, community assembly, and ecosystem functions. While global trait datasets have advanced the field, substantial gaps remain, and extracting trait information from text in books, research articles, and online sources via machine learning ...
