Microengineered Gradient Hydrogels for Mechanobiology

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Gradient hydrogels are used to mimic the mechanical heterogeneity in native tissues, offering powerful in vitro platforms to study cell‐material interactions in diverse pathophysiological contexts. Here, we present a comprehensive review of the design and experimental considerations for stiffness gradient hydrogels, discussing exemplary achievements ...

A Perspective on Interactive Theorem Provers in Physics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Into an interactive theorem provers (ITPs), one can write mathematical definitions, theorems and proofs, and the correctness of those results is automatically checked. This perspective goes over the best usage of ITPs within physics and motivates the open‐source community run project PhysLean, the aim of which is to be a library for digitalized physics

Scalable Wheat Bran‐Algae Composites for Edible Electronics with Spray‐Coated Food‐Grade Conductive Inks

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
A fully edible wheat bran–algae substrate is fabricated through scalable mould‐compression and spray‐coating, enabling robust, food‐grade platforms for sustainable electronics. A chitosan barrier improves water resistance and ink compatibility, while activated‐carbon conductive films form uniform electrodes with Ohmic behaviour.

Information work in information science research and practice

Proceedings of the Association for Information Science and Technology, 2016
ABSTRACT Information science and technology researchers and practitioners discuss information activities a broad range of terms. A concept that often appears in colloquial discussions of information activities but that has received less systematic attention is that of information work. This panel gathers a group of information science

The Role of Social Food Infrastructure in Addressing SNAP Participation Gaps: Evidence From Linked Administrative and Ground‐Sourced Data

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We link American Community Survey and SNAP records for 185,000 units with ground‐sourced social food infrastructure data from FindFoodIL (Illinois Extension SNAP‐Ed) to examine SNAP participation determinants among eligible units. Bivariate probit models reveal, beyond SNAP offices, quantity of social infrastructure is associated with ...

Assessing Household Welfare in Response to Rising Food Prices in The Gambia

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how rising food prices affected household welfare in The Gambia using nationally representative data from the 2015/16 Integrated Household Survey (IHS‐3). The analysis reflects household consumption behavior and market conditions prevailing during that period and provides a structural benchmark for understanding ...
