Modelling the within-herd transmission of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae in closed pig herds [PDF]

Porcine Health Management, 2016
A discrete time, stochastic, compartmental model simulating the spread of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae within a batch of industrially raised pigs was developed to understand infection dynamics and to assess the impact of a range of husbandry practices. A 'disease severity' index was calculated based on the ratio between the cumulative numbers of acutely ...

Printing and Rerouting of Elastic and Protease Responsive Shape Memory Hydrogel Filaments

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A biofabrication strategy, Rerouting of Free‐Floating Suspended Hydrogel Filaments (REFRESH), is developed enabling the printing of highly elastic, reconfigurable protease‐responsive hydrogel filaments with shape memory properties. The filaments can be manually braided, knotted, and rerouted to create intricate cell‐laden 3D architectures, expanding ...

Designing Physical Unclonable Functions From Optically Active Materials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Assigning unforgeable “fingerprints” to manufactured goods is a key strategy to fight global counterfeiting. Optical physical unclonable functions (PUFs) are chemically generated random patterns of optically active materials serving as unique authenticators.

Functionalized Antifouling Polymer Brushes for Biospecific Surfaces

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Modern biosensors offer high sensitivity but often struggle with long‐term stability and selectivity for specific targets. Antifouling polymer brushes help enhance both stability and selectivity. In this review, we compare recent antifouling coatings, their design parameters, and how they are integrated with biorecognition elements for improved ...

Vapor Phase Installation of CpCo(CO)2 in MOF‐808

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) provide high surface area and chemically uniform scaffolds for catalysis. Atomic layer deposition within frameworks may imbue even greater catalytic activity and selectivity. However, a mechanistic understanding of metal center installation is necessary to ensure the uniform installation required to draw strict structure‐
