Increased Disarray of Extracellular Matrix Collagen‐I Fiber Network and Compromised Biomechanics in Aortae From Marfan‐Syndrome Mice Assessed Through Combined Opto‐Biomechatronics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Combined structure‐function assessment in aortic rings from Marfan mice using MechaMorph Opto‐Biomechatronics technology relates increased elasticity (stiffness) and dynamic viscosity and less ordered extracellular matrix 3D‐structure (collagen) as potential causes for impaired Windkessel function and compromised haemodynamics in Marfan's syndrome ...

Microfluidic Gratings for X‐Ray Phase Contrast Imaging

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work establishes a new protocol for the fabrication of X‐ray gratings that exploits the advantages of microfluidics and enables a more inexpensive, faster, and scalable production process. These X‐ray devices are fundamental for implementing X‐ray phase contrast imaging (XPCI) in laboratory and clinical settings, yet their costly and complex ...

Retention of New Teachers in Minority French and French Immersion Programs in Manitoba

Canadian Journal of Education, 2009
There is a shortage of teachers in Canada qualified to teach in French; some researchers have suggested that this shortage is due to attrition. This study examined the retention in Manitoba of new teachers qualified to teach in French. Participants were

Challenge/Competence Appraisal by Swiss Two-Way Immersion Teachers of the “Cursus bilingue/Bilingualer Studiengang” in Their Professionalization Process and Career-Entry Stage Implications

Education Sciences
The growing number of public one-way and two-way immersion schools (French/German) in the Swiss cantons of Bern, Jura, and Neuchâtel has resulted in an increased need for teachers who are explicitly prepared for those schools.

Sequential Regulation of Neurovascular Bone Regeneration in Large Bone Defects Using Black Phosphorus‐Europium Nanosheet Integrated TPMS Biomimetic Scaffold with Photo‐Controlled Ion Release

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
TPBE scaffolds, in conjunction with mild photothermal effects, effectively activate the PI3K/Akt signaling cascade, thereby promoting early neuronal differentiation and neurite growth. Short‐term (12 W) in vivo implantation studies revealed no significant pathological damage to major organs, providing preliminary evidence of the material's excellent ...

The French Connection: French Immersion teachers' perspectives on identity and teaching French Immersion

As Canada continues to struggle with its French as a Second Language (FSL) teacher shortage, it is imperative to examine why this leaky pipeline persists. Despite increasing student enrollment to French Immersion (FI) programs in Ontario, school boards are still facing a challenge in hiring and retaining qualified FI teachers, signaling the need for ...

Smart Bioinks for 4D Bioprinting: Requirements, Design, and Applications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Smart bioinks empower 4D‐bioprinted constructs to dynamically adapt and remodel in response to stimuli, effectively biomimicking native tissues. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) play a guiding role in their rational design by optimizing relevant properties.

Extended French vs. French Immersion

A school board in southern Ontario is in the process of phasing out their Extended French program and replacing it with French Immersion at the high school level. In this paper I asked a high school administrator and a French as a second language teacher(s) of this school board to describe the phase out process and to relay any implications they ...
