Engineering an artificial trachea: Quantitative benchmarks and modular strategies for mechanics, epithelialization, and vascular integration

FlexMat, EarlyView.
In this work, we first examine the limitations of surgical repair and stenting, including migration, granulation, mucus plugging, and infection. We then translate these failures into engineering constraints involving geometry, mechanics, fixation, degradation, junctional stress, and remodeling.

Periodontal microbiology and microbial etiology of periodontal diseases: Historical concepts and contemporary perspectives

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract This narrative review summarizes the collective knowledge on periodontal microbiology, through a historical timeline that highlights the European contribution in the global field. The etiological concepts on periodontal disease culminate to the ecological plaque hypothesis and its dysbiosis‐centered interpretation.

Applying a Complexity Lens to Policy Implementation: How Feedback Loops Help to Understand Systems Change in Integrated Healthcare

The International Journal of Health Planning and Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Although a complexity theory lens can help to understand national policy implementation at a local government level, application of this lens often remains at a metaphorical level. We illustrate how complexity concepts, such as adaptation, feedback, emergence and co‐evolution can be used practically in research on policy ...

Remote Sensing for Irrigation Water Management—The State of the Art and Prospects for Near‐Future Operations

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A recent UN report describes many regions as facing ‘water bankruptcy,’ a condition in which available water resources can no longer meet existing demands. In practice, this means irrigation will likely bear the greatest burden of future water‐use reductions, a complicated and fraught decision to make given its critical role in food security ...

Line-of-sight shear in SLACS strong lenses I: shear and mass model parametrisations

The Open Journal of Astrophysics
Inhomogeneities along the line of sight in strong gravitational lensing distort the images produced, in an effect called shear. If measurable, this shear may provide independent constraints on cosmological parameters, complementary to traditional cosmic ...

Developing and Testing a Citywide Inclusive Sanitation Financial Tool

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Citywide Inclusive Sanitation (CWIS) represents a paradigm shift in the provision of safely managed sanitation services with a framework of three outcomes—equity, safety and sustainability. There are several sanitation financial tools, but none of these fully address all CWIS outcomes. Citywide Inclusive Sanitation Financial Tool (CWIS‐FiT) is

Four-body Gravitational Microlensing Events Involving Both a Binary Lens and a Binary Source

The Astrophysical Journal
We present detailed analyses of three anomalous microlensing events—KMT-2021-BLG-0209, KMT-2021-BLG-0901, and OGLE-2025-BLG-0356—identified from a systematic reexamination of KMTNet light curves for which previous modeling attempts failed or left ...

Tailoring MXene Flake Morphology via Aerosol Jet Printing for Biological and Strain Sensor Applications

Small, EarlyView.
Aerosol Jet Printing (AJP), coupled with a novel in situ monitoring method, enabled the controlled fabrication of aligned and crumpled Ti3C2Tx MXenes for diverse applications. Demonstrated across multiple 2D materials, this scalable strategy stablishes flake morphology as a controllable design parameter for engineering application‐specific material ...

Systemic Design in Times of Crisis: Fostering a Collaborative Culture Under Conditions of Energy Vulnerability in Northeastern Iran

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The actualization of innovation in social systems requires interventions within small systems, communities and organizations. At this scale, practitioners can engage directly with the interactions, communication and dialogue among key actors, including those with conflicting interests.
