Lab‐Scale Fabrication Process Selection for Soft Robotics: Benchmarking, Tradeoffs, and Guidelines for Formative Manufacturing of Soft Silicone Components

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Fabrication shapes soft robot performance, but benchmarking data and selection guidelines remain scarce. We fabricate silicone actuators using two molding techniques and three mold types, characterizing them with cycle testing, microscopy, profilometry, and 3D imaging. Applying our lab‐scale, soft robotics‐specific fabrication evaluation criteria shows

Causal analysis of trade loss from pathogens: A global study of foot and mouth disease impacts on meat exports

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Our general interest is in global trade loss from livestock pathogens, specifically exports. We adopt a causal inference approach that considers animal disease outbreaks over time as non‐staggered binary treatments with the potential for switching in (infection) and out of treatment (recovery) within the sample period. The outcome evolution of

Integrating Genetic Modifier Genotype With Serum Proteomics in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Clinical Trials Links LTBP4 Genetic Modifier to IL‐23/CD93 Pathways in Muscle

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Genetic modifiers of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) that alter disease severity or response to therapy have been reported using natural history or registry data sets of older corticosteroid‐treated patients. We tested associations of genetic modifiers on motor function outcomes in young (4 to < 7 years) steroid naïve clinical trial ...

‘Turkeys Cannot Vote for Christmas’: Why Epistemic Disobedience in an Anti‐Black World Matters

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Never in the history of global coloniality has the idea of epistemic disobedience been as important as in the 21st century. This is not only because the struggle for decolonisation has shifted from physical confrontation between the coloniser and the colonised into a battle of ideas but also because the former has deployed the idea of ...

‘We Are Australia’: Unpacking Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People's Understandings and Experiences of Australian Identity

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are the oldest living custodians in the world. However, Australian identity has been purposefully established to exclude Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, contributing to systemic oppression and harmful consequences. Understanding the perspectives and experiences of Aboriginal and Torres

Australia's Migration Strategy: An Effective Response to Migrant Worker Exploitation?

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A series of publicised migrant worker injuries and deaths has drawn attention to the issue of migrant worker exploitation (MWE) in Australia. In response, the Australian Government has included ‘Tackling Worker Exploitation’ as a key area of its Migration Strategy which it introduced in 2023. However, it is unclear how effective the Strategy’s

Translation and Cross‐Cultural Adaptation of the Chronic Rhinosinusitis Control Test for Global Use

open access: yesInternational Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction The Chronic Rhinosinusitis Control Test (CRCT) is a patient‐reported outcome measure (PROM) written in English that is psychometrically validated to measure chronic rhinosinusitis control. Because the availability of translated PROMs is a driver of data equity—collection of data that is fair and generally representative—our ...

Smallpox eradication

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B. Biological Sciences, 1977
Abstract An intensified global programme to eradicate smallpox within 10 years was initiated by the World Health Organization in January 1967. This goal will virtually be achieved. Whereas an estimated 10-15 million cases had occurred in 44 countries in 1967, only one small focus and two known active cases still remained in December ...

The Eradication of Smallpox

Scientific American, 1976
The key events in the eradication of smallpox worldwide are related. Smallpox virus was spread by droplets only from the appearance of the rash until scabs form 4 weeks later. It only infected humans making it a potential disease for eradication. It had been endemic in populous areas largely China and India in ancient times appearing in Europe in ...

Poliomyelitis eradication

Virus Research, 1999
Since the poliomyelitis eradication program began in 1988, the number of poliovirus infected continents and countries have decreased from five to two and from greater than 100 to 53, respectively. A nearly 90% reduction in the incidence of polio has been achieved with a corresponding decrease in virus genomic heterogeneity.
