Estimating the critical angle of top near‐surface layers on the Moon

Near Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.
Abstract Near‐surface characterization of the lunar subsurface is essential for future exploration and infrastructure development, particularly for the construction of underground habitats that provide protection against radiation and micrometeorites. However, conventional seismic approaches for estimating subsurface properties typically rely on prior ...

Monitoring shallow geothermal aquifers with active‐source distributed acoustic sensing: A prognostic feasibility study on the University of Leeds Geothermal Campus

Near Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.
Abstract The United Kingdom's shallow aquifers offer significant but underdeveloped geothermal energy resource. Seismic methods can help address this by improving the understanding of aquifer heterogeneity and potentially allowing long‐term monitoring of thermal plumes.

Betulinic Acid Enema Alleviates Colitis by Targeting Vitamin D Receptor to Protect the Intestinal Mucosal Barrier and Modulate Mucosa‐Associated Microbiota

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the colon with limited effectiveness and safety of current drug therapies. Betulinic acid (BA) is a naturally occurring pentacyclic triterpenoid present in traditional Chinese medicines used clinically as retention enemas for UC, but its direct effects and mechanisms remain unclear ...

Reactivity of Oxidized Porous Silicon with Calcium Ion in Aqueous Media: Stability, pH Behavior, and Host‐Guest Strategies

Small, EarlyView.
Oxidized porous silicon, composed of an elemental silicon porous skeleton coated with a silica shell, reacts with aqueous Ca2+ to generate a mixed silica–calcium silicate matrix that is remarkably efficient at trapping small molecules. With an emphasis on the engineering of controlled‐release drug delivery systems, this study identifies the factors ...

Interlayer‐Catalyst Method for Metal‐Assisted Chemical Etching of Ultra‐High Aspect Ratio Silicon Nanostructures

Small Methods, EarlyView.
An advanced patterning method is presented for metal‐assisted chemical etching. The interlayer replaces the resist and enables catalyst deposition on a clean interface. The prepared samples show improved performance with a more reproducible etching profile, higher aspect ratio, and increased consistency over a larger area.

The Influence of the Pretreatment of Tool Steel on the Running‐In Phase of Diamond‐Like Carbon Coatings

steel research international, EarlyView.
The influence of tool steel pretreatment on the running‐in behavior of TiNb‐diamond‐like carbon (DLC) coatings is investigated. Ion etching promotes carbide protrusion and increases coating roughness, while post‐deposition polishing reduces surface asperities.

Identification of invisible damage in prestressed concrete bridges—A demonstrator case using coda wave interferometry

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract During their life cycle, prestressed concrete bridges are prone to wire breaks of their tendons due to fatigue or stress corrosion cracking. However, not all structures show visible cracking on the surface, which would provide timely warning of otherwise invisible damage. Brittle failure may occur.

Wavefront sensing at a high‐repetition‐rate X‐ray free‐electron laser

Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, EarlyView.
We demonstrate a fast, robust and sensor‐free approach to X‐ray speckle tracking that enables shot‐to‐shot wavefront characterization at high‐repetition‐rate X‐ray free‐electron lasers. Our measurements reveal a hierarchy of wavefront fluctuations indicative of instabilities in the accelerator and beamline optics at the European XFEL.Wavefront ...

A covalent peptide engager approach to equip immunotherapeutic monoclonal and pan IgG serum antibodies with new tumour‐targeting function

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Site‐specific antibody modification is a useful chemical strategy to elaborate antibody therapeutic function. Conventional lysine‐ or cysteine‐based conjugation methods generate heterogeneous products, while protein engineering approaches are resource‐intensive.

Ray‐Tracing‐Based Intraocular Lens Power Calculation in Combined Cataract Surgery and Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty

Clinical &Experimental Ophthalmology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background To compare the predictive accuracy of ray tracing‐based intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulas with the Barrett Universal II (BUII) formula in eyes with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) undergoing combined cataract surgery and Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (triple DMEK).
