Heat-related illness among wildland firefighters

Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2020
The 2019 bushfire catastrophe in Australia is only the most recent example of the increasing duration and intensity of wildfire events. In the past decade, the USA experienced 67 000 wildfires annually with an average 7 million acres burned. Over 34 000 US wildland firefighters (WLFFs) are engaged in arduous, high-risk duty, yet several features of ...

Quantitative 3D Real‐Space Analysis of Photonic Supraparticles

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This work shows that through quantitative 3D real‐space analysis, photonic supraparticles can be investigated in detail. By clustering and classifying all particles, structure features can easily be detected, and the internal structure can be quickly investigated. This methodology allows for quick identification of different crystal structures, such as

Photochromic Cholesteric Liquid Crystals via Arylazopyrazole Functionalization of Hydroxypropyl Cellulose

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We produce a new derivative of hydroxypropyl cellulose functionalized with arylazopyrazole side chains and demonstrate its photoswitchable behaviors in dilute and concentrated aqueous solutions, ultimately designing a series of photochromic cholesteric materials that can be photopatterned as write‐erase displays.

Assembling a True “Olympic Gel” From over 16 000 Combinatorial DNA Rings

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Olympic gels are an elusive class of soft matter, consisting of molecular networks held together purely by mechanically interlocked rings. Their topological structure promises unique properties and functions, but their synthesis has proven notoriously difficult.

High Stability of Diketopyrrolopyrrole Polymer Transistors Under Aqueous Condition Toward Biosensing Platform

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
We are reporting the first‐time investigation of DPP‐based Organic Field‐Effect Transistor (OFET) devices with high‐stability of signal response in both of ambient and aqueous conditions with PBS solution. ABSTRACT Diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)–based conjugated polymers show strong promise for electronic applications, including bioelectronic gas sensors ...
