Mechanically Enhanced, Antibacterial, and Double‐Network Hydrogel Flexible Sensors for Sleep Apnea Monitoring

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
This report describes the preparation of an antibacterial hydrogel sensor from a polyvinyl alcohol/silk fibroin double network, tannic acid‐coated liquid metal, and copper particles, with an ethanol post‐treatment using a multi‐level structural regulation strategy. The obtained hydrogel is evaluated in the context of respiratory monitoring.

Numerical analysis of the effects of corrosion on the punching shear capacity of reinforced concrete flat slabs with openings

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The reinforcement corrosion is one of the main degradation mechanisms in reinforced concrete structures. Its effects can harm structural elements by reducing mechanical capacity, mainly due to diminished reinforcement properties and expansive reactions within the concrete.

Accounting for Friendlessness: Stigma and the Quest for an Honorable Self

open access: yesSymbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
How do people who identify as friendless make sense of their condition in a moment when friendship is extolled for the support and satisfaction it offers? This article draws on interviews with 21 adults in an Atlantic Canadian city. We argue that our interviewees were rarely at ease with their friendlessness and were at pains to recover an honorable ...

Polyamide Acid–Based Surface Modification of Poly(p‐Phenylene Benzobisoxazole) Fibres Reinforcing Syntactic Foam for Using Them as High‐Performance Insulating Core Material

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The insulating core is an important part of pillar composite insulators used in power transmission systems. Traditional insulating core materials suffer from various problems that can threaten the reliability of insulated equipment. Syntactic foam (SF) exhibits excellent properties, such as a low density, water penetration resistance and high ...

Demographic buffering in natural populations: A multi‐level perspective

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We introduce a multi‐level framework that unites stochastic elasticities with nonlinear selection to test demographic buffering. Applying it across mammals reveals a key insight: ecological robustness to variability often decouples from evolutionary constraint, reshaping how we understand resilience under environmental stochasticity.

‘Vitamins’, shortcuts, and athletic citizenship in Ethiopia and Cameroon: considering sporting ethics beyond biomedicine « Vitamines », courts‐circuits et citoyenneté sportive en Éthiopie et au Cameroun : l’éthique du sport, au‐delà de la biomédecine

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article argues that the current way of thinking about ethics in sport in primarily biomedical terms, and in particular in terms of the presence of particular pharmaceutical substances, fails to account for broader notions of sporting ethics and fairness in the Global South.
