Double Helix Structure for Stable Flexural Actuation in Soft Robotics

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work introduces a double‐helical architecture for soft robotic actuators that enhances twisting resistance, increases output force, and minimizes undesired deformation. Actuators driven by shape‐memory alloy wires exhibit a roughly fivefold higher torsional/flexural stiffness ratio and 50% greater force output.

Comparative Analysis of Model‐Agnostic Explanation Methods in Materials Science

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
To address the critical lack of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) benchmarks in materials science, we present a quantitative and qualitative analysis of six XAI methods applied to molecular fingerprints. Our results reveal significant discrepancies in feature importance rankings, demonstrating that the chosen explanation approach introduces ...

The Role of Glutamatergic and Dopaminergic Genes in Resistant Schizophrenia: A Systematic Review

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Psychosis is a heterogeneous disorder, with approximately one‐third of patients experiencing treatment resistance, predominantly among individuals diagnosed with Schizophrenia. Treatment‐resistant schizophrenia (TRS) may stem from a distinct biological signature, involving abnormalities in the dopaminergic and glutamatergic systems.

‘The Other Parent’: A Critical Policy Analysis of Fatherhood Discourses in the Australian Government's Paid Parental Leave Scheme

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Australian paid parental leave (PPL) government scheme aims to support working parents through financial assistance and the promotion of gender equality in caregiving responsibilities. However, the scheme's implementation has been critiqued for its gendered design, which marginalises fathers and reinforces traditional gender roles.

Evidence Based Dentistry: Evidence Based Dentistry

Dentistry is both an art and a science. This book explores the integration of scientific research and clinical expertise to provide the highest quality dental care. It defines evidence-based dentistry (EBD) as the judicious use of the best available clinical evidence combined with the dentist’s experience and the patient’s needs.

The morphology of the oval window in Paranthropus robustus compared to humans and other modern primates

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The oval window (OW) is an opening connecting the inner and middle ear. Its area has been shown to consistently scale with body mass (BM) in primates, and has been used alongside semi‐circular canal (SCC) size to differentiate Homo sapiens and fossil hominins, including Paranthropus robustus.
