Delaying disease progression in COPD with early escalation to triple therapy: a modelling study (DEPICT-2)

ERJ Open Research
Introduction In patients with COPD, dual bronchodilator (long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA)/long-acting β2-agonist (LABA)) and triple therapy (inhaled corticosteroid/LAMA/LABA) reduce the risk of exacerbations and lung function decline in the short–

Upscaling Pulsed Laser Fragmentation in Liquids by Advanced Free‐Flow Setups

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Advanced flow setups providing thin colloid films are introduced to upscale pulsed laser fragmentation in liquids for sustainable nanoparticle synthesis. Their potential is demonstrated by yielding remarkably small ZnO nanoparticles of <7 nm. Numerical simulations complement the study, revealing that the superior performance can be attributed to ...

Design and Modeling of a High‐Displacement, Skin‐Integrated Flexible Electromagnetic Actuator for Haptic Interfaces in Virtual Reality

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A flexible, skin‐integrated electromagnetic actuator is developed for wearable virtual/augmented reality (VR/AR) haptic systems. A tunable design model enables control over displacement and resonance frequency. The system is validated through a custom VR application with a 6 × 4 actuator array, demonstrating real‐time, spatially targeted tactile ...

Consensus Formation and Change are Enhanced by Neutrality

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Neutral agents are shown to enhance both the formation and overturning of consensus in collective decision‐making. A general mathematical model and experiments with locusts and humans reveal that neutrality enables robust consensus via simple interactions and accelerates consensus change by reducing effective population size.

Machine Learning for Green Solvents: Assessment, Selection and Substitution

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Environmental regulations have intensified demand for green solvents, but discovery is limited by Solvent Selection Guides (SSGs) that quantify solvent sustainability. Training a machine learning model on GlaxoSmithKline SSG, a database of sustainability metrics for 10,189 solvents, GreenSolventDB is developed. Integrated with Hansen solubility metrics,

Real-world accuracy of SARS-CoV-2 antigen detection compared with qPCR: A cross-sectional study in Toledo - PR, Brazil

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
Rapid Antigen Tests (Ag-RDTs) for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 is an important diagnostic tool for containing virus spread. However, their accuracy ‒ the proportion of correct results (both true positives and true negatives) ‒ still needs to be proven ...
