Photothermal Transport for Guiding Nanoparticles Through the Vitreous Humor

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Nanosecond laser irradiation of the clinically approved dye indocyanine green (ICG) enables light‐guided nanoparticle transport within the vitreous humor. The combined use of ICG and pulsed laser illumination induces localized convection and thermophoresis, directing particles toward illuminated regions.

Motion Mitigation Techniques for Abdominal and Cardiac MR Imaging

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT MRI of the heart and abdominal organs provides unparalleled soft tissue contrast and quantitative biomarkers, yet remains highly susceptible to physiological motion. Contractions of the myocardium, respiratory excursions, peristalsis, vascular pulsatility, and unpredictable bulk patient movement generate artifacts that impair image quality ...

Impact of a low‐carbohydrate diet on cardiometabolic parameters in individuals with and without diabetes: An 8‐year longitudinal study within the ELSA‐Brasil cohort

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Low‐carbohydrate diets (LCDs) are widely adopted for metabolic management, but their long‐term cardiometabolic effects in diverse populations remain unclear. We aimed to evaluate the association between self‐selected moderate LCD adherence and cardiometabolic parameters in individuals with and without diabetes.

Prioritization of the Sustainable Development Goals: Developing and Testing a Novel Framework Under Varying Geographic Scales

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study develops and tests a novel prioritization framework for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) under varying geographic scales (regional, sub‐regional, national), focusing on the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region as a pilot case.

Blue‐Prints for Ocean Governance: Analyzing Resource Sustainability in International Blue Economic Frameworks

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Championed as a pathway for sustainable growth, the “blue economy” (BE) has garnered increasing interest in recent decades. International organizations like the World Bank and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) increasingly point to marine resources and activities as a “new frontier” for economic growth ...

Enhancing printability of 3D printed concrete by using metakaolin and silica fume

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the effects of incorporating metakaolin (MK) and silica fume (SF) on the fresh and hardened properties of 3D printed concrete (3DPC). Five mix designs were prepared with MK replacement levels of 0%, 10%, 12.5%, and 15%, along with one mix containing 10% MK and 5% SF.

Utilization of cellulose nanocrystal as a bio‐based material and nanosilica in cement‐based systems: A comparative study

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), increasingly utilized in cement‐bound materials, offer improved material properties and enhanced sustainability due to their bio‐based origin. Nanosilica (NS), known for its high reactivity and refinement of cement microstructure, also significantly impacts cement performance.

Technology‐Enabled Cross‐Border Entrepreneurship: The Role of Digital Platforms in SME Expansion Through the Lens of Institutional Theory

Thunderbird International Business Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) face significant institutional barriers when expanding across borders, including regulatory constraints, financial accessibility issues, and market entry challenges. Institutional theory provides a useful framework for understanding how external regulative, normative, and cognitive institutional forces

Diagnostic analytics of electricity tariff design in Nepal

Energy Conversion and Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Nepal's electricity sector operates under a monopsony, with government entities dominating generation, transmission, and distribution. This market structure suppresses competition, leading to inherent challenges in establishing fair and efficient electricity tariff systems.

A double‐crystal bent Laue parallel‐beam compressor

Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, EarlyView.
An application of bent Laue crystals as X‐ray optics to increase beam intensity in bending‐magnet beamlines at synchrotron facilities is presented.We demonstrate the ability to manipulate a synchrotron X‐ray beam's size, maintaining a nearly parallel beam, by `compressing' it horizontally using a pair of cylindrically bent Laue crystals.
