Enhancing Interfacial Adhesion and Toughness of Flax Fabric/Polylactic Acid Biocomposites Through Polyethylene Glycol Treatment

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Production of flax fabric/polylactic acid biocomposite. ABSTRACT The development of fully biodegradable composites has gained significant attention as a sustainable alternative to traditional fiber‐reinforced materials. This study focuses on enhancing the interfacial adhesion and toughness of flax fiber‐reinforced polylactic acid (PLA) biocomposites ...

Stair‐Climbing Wheelchairs for Enhanced Mobility: A Comprehensive Review of Fundamental Mechanisms, Design Concepts, and Performance Analysis

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT People with physical disabilities face significant mobility challenges while climbing uneven surfaces and staircases. In these circumstances, traditional wheelchairs do not provide stable, safely controlled mobility, underscoring the importance of building superior stair‐climbing wheelchairs for both medical and infrastructure purposes.

Using programmable infusion pump in avian species – a validation methodology in geese

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife face anthropogenic and natural stressors that affect their physiology and behaviour. The activity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis and glucocorticoid (GC) production is intrinsically linked with energy regulation and environmental stressors.

Wave Tracing: Generalizing The Path Integral To Wave Optics

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Modeling the wave nature of light and the propagation and diffraction of electromagnetic fields is crucial for the accurate simulation of many phenomena, yet wave simulations are significantly more computationally complex than classical ray‐based models.

Editorial Perspective: Expanding the search for environmental exposures related to children's development

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.
In the fields of child psychology and psychiatry, countless environmental factors have been identified as correlates of children's health and development, yet each of these generally accounts for a small proportion of variance. The unaccounted‐for variation in a model may be due to measurement error, random variation, model misspecifications or ...

Transcriptional benchmark dose modeling of ultraviolet radiation‐induced genomic activation in mouse skin

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UV‐R) from tanning equipment increases skin cancer risk through molecular changes, but genomic thresholds remain unclear. Using mice, we examined dose‐ and time‐dependent gene expression after erythemally‐weighted UV‐R doses (0–40 mJ/cm2).
