Optical Stimulation and Monitoring of the Peripheral Nervous System: Perspectives and Challenges Toward Clinical Translation

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Optical neuromodulation with IR light allows stimulation of the PNS without the need for physical contact with the target nerve or without requiring any genetic modification. The clinical translation of this technique will pave the way to the development of neural interfaces for restoring sensory feedback in individuals with limb amputation.

Modular Polymers With Tuneable Charge and Amphiphilicity for Effective Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
A modular dual‐strategy platform combining free radical copolymerisation and post‐polymerisation modification yields a library of ruthenium‐functionalised polymers for antimicrobial photodynamic therapy. Tuneable composition and net charge govern activity against multidrug‐resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms and Staphylococcus aureus under ...

Ultimate Intrinsic SNR Depends on B0 Orientation

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose This work aims to investigate the effect of B0$$ {B}_0 $$ orientation on the uiSNR in MRI. Methods Electromagnetic simulations were performed on both realistic body models and simplified geometric models. Comparisons between (1) opposite B0$$ {B}_0 $$ directions along the head‐foot (HF) axis, corresponding to head‐first and feet‐first ...

Spatially Aware Acquisition‐Independent Deep Learning for IVIM MRI Parameter Estimation in Patients With Esophageal Cancer

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Neural controlled differential equations (NCDEs) recently emerged as a robust deep learning approach for quantitative MRI parameter estimation. NCDEs offer flexibility to changes in acquisition protocols by modeling the signal evolution dynamics. However, NCDE implementations operate on a voxel‐by‐voxel basis and cannot exploit spatial

An Elasto–Plastic Hydro–Mechanical Model for Analyzing the Swelling Behavior of Heterogeneous Clay–Sulfate Rocks

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Swelling of clay‐sulfate rocks is a concern in geotechnical engineering that can damage infrastructure. In the historic town of Staufen in southwest Germany, geothermal drilling into a swellable anhydrite‐bearing clay formation resulted in water inflow and subsequent swelling, triggering ground heave and damage to more than 250 houses.

Two new endemic species of Portulaca (Portulacaceae) from the Brazilian Pampa grasslands

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Portulaca L. is a monophyletic, cosmopolitan genus of succulent plants comprising ca 153 species, with particularly high diversity in xerophytic ecosystems in tropical and subtropical regions. Based on morphological evidence, we describe and illustrate two new species from the Brazilian Pampa, Portulaca guaritensis and Portulaca guenoa.

Patterns of wild meat and other protein consumption in the periphery of Salonga National Park, Democratic Republic of the Congo

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract In Central Africa, human activities are severely impacting terrestrial and aquatic wildlife, threatening the food security of millions of people. Accordingly, sustainable use of wildlife is crucial for the nutrition and livelihoods of many rural communities in the region.

Lichen‐Derived Mineral Residue as a Renewable Particulate Filler in Polylactic Acid Biocomposites: Structure, Melt Rheology, Viscoelastic, and Flexural Behavior

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Lichen residue, a renewable mineral‐organic material, was melt compounded with polylactic acid and triacetin in a twin‐screw extruder. ABSTRACT A lichen‐derived natural material, known as “höllük” in southeastern Turkey, is introduced as a renewable filler for polylactic acid (PLA).

Internal Structure, Kinematics, and Prehistory of Frozen Debris Lobe‐A (FDL‐A), Brooks Range, Alaska

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Frozen Debris Lobe‐A (FDL‐A)—one of hundreds of FDLs in the Brooks Range of northern Alaska—is a slow‐moving landslide in permafrost that has been the subject of research since 2008 due to its close proximity to the Dalton Highway. Here, we synthesize more than a decade's worth of climate and surface measurements of monitored FDLs, and the ...
