Biodegradable Dual‐Material 4D‐Printed Scaffolds With Tunable PLA/PEG Ratios for Mandibular Bone Regeneration

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of the fabrication and application concept of biodegradable dual‐material 4D‐printed PLA/PEG scaffolds for mandibular bone regeneration. ABSTRACT In this study, biodegradable dual‐material 4D‐printed scaffolds with tunable poly(lactic acid)/poly(ethylene glycol) (PLA/PEG) ratios were designed, fabricated, and systematically ...

An Inimer Approach Based on Photo Iniferter RAFT Polymerization Toward One‐Pot Bottlebrush Copolymers Featuring Grafts From Less Activated Monomers

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
We present a stepwise one‐pot synthesis of bottlebrush copolymers using the inimer approach for less activated monomers (LAMs). Under the irradiation of wavelength 1 (λ1), an acrylamide‐based inimer was polymerized to create a backbone with active sites for grafting.

Larval antibiosis to cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) is absent within oilseed rape (Brassica napus)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
We screened a panel of 98 Brassicaceae genotypes (97 Brassica napus and 1 Sinapis alba) for cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) larval antibiosis. We found limited evidence for antibiosis across B. napus but consistent antibiosis in S. alba. Brassicaceae relatives may therefore better inform resistance traits for breeding.

Mapping the Conformational Landscape of DNA Minicircles Through Atomic Force Microscopy and Shape Space Analysis

Small, EarlyView.
An automated framework is presented for quantifying DNA conformational variability from atomic force microscopy (AFM) images. DNA backbones are reduced to spline representations and analyzed using cyclic Procrustes analysis to measure shape similarity across ensembles.

Unraveling the effect of topological structures of B/N‐doped conjugated macrocycles on spectral properties: A computational study

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.
Herein, we constructed a series of fully B‐doped, fully N‐doped and hybrid B/N‐doped conjugated macrocycles considering three key topological factors. At a fixed ring size, the spectra initially redshift then blueshift with varying B/N ratio, while ring size exhibits negligible impact on spectra.

Modeling speaking performance in young learners of Chinese as a heritage language: The interplay of L2 grit, motivational intensity, and willingness to communicate

Despite the growing attention to non-cognitive factors and their effects explored in studies inspired by Positive Psychology, there remains a scarcity of research examining how these factors impact young heritage learners’ language development in Chinese

Automated Identification of Thermal Transitions in Conjugated Material Thin Films Using In Situ Optical Spectroscopy

Small Methods, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the effectiveness of in situ UV−vis coupled with automated data analysis, namely, ATLAS, for fast and reliable identification of multiple thermal transition in conjugated polymer thin films. This ATLAS method will significantly accelerate the understanding of the phase behavior of D‐A polymers with important implications for ...

Tailoring Laser Powder Bed Fusion and Post‐Processing Parameters for JIS SKD61 Tool Steels: Surface Roughness, Microstructure, and Mechanical Properties

steel research international, EarlyView.
Laser powder bed fusion of JIS SKD61 tool steel is systematically optimized using a Taguchi design and ANOVA. Hatch spacing and layer thickness are identified as dominant parameters controlling surface roughness and tensile strength. Subsequent tempering at 600°C improves microstructural stability and mechanical performance, enabling high‐density SKD61

Towards a Positive Psychology Turn in Chinese Language Learning: Are L2 Grit and Emotion Key to Success?

Second and foreign language (L2) learning is a lengthy, goal-directed process replete with challenges and hurdles, requiring the power of grit, which is defined as a personality trait that reflects commitment and interest in pursuing development. However,
