Aperiodic order and pure point diffraction [PDF]

, 2008
We give a leisurely introduction into mathematical diffraction theory with a focus on pure point diffraction. In particular, we discuss various characterisations of pure point diffraction and common models arising from cut and project schemes. We finish with a list of open problems.

Effectiveness of a Telephone‐Delivered Walk With Ease Program on Arthritis‐Related Symptoms, Function, and Activity: A Randomized Trial

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Walk With Ease (WWE) is a six‐week arthritis‐appropriate evidence‐based physical activity program traditionally offered in a face‐to‐face format. Because many populations encounter participation barriers to in‐person programs, WWE was modified for telephone delivery (WWE‐T).

Rapid insecticide resistance bioassays for three major urban insects in Taiwan

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Background Taiwan’s warm and humid climate and dense population provide a suitable environment for the breeding of pests. The three major urban insects in Taiwan are house flies, cockroaches, and mosquitoes. In cases where a disease outbreak or high pest

Global Trends in Risk Factors for Low Back Pain: An Analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study Data From 1990 to 2021

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The increasing burden associated with low back pain (LBP) is a critical issue. This is a novel analysis of trends in risk factors for LBP aiming to identify risk factors that require further attention or consideration in global policies to reduce the burden of LBP.

Rarity begets rarity: Social and environmental drivers of rare organisms in cities

Ecological Applications, Volume 32, Issue 8, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Cities are sometimes characterized as homogenous with species assemblages composed of abundant, generalist species having similar ecological functions. Under this assumption, rare species, or species observed infrequently, would have especially high conservation value in cities for their potential to increase functional diversity.

Magnetic Field‐Assisted Conductive Nerve Guidance Conduit Enabling Peripheral Nerve Regeneration with Wireless Electrical Stimulation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a conductive nerve guidance conduit integrated with wireless electrical stimulation through alternating magnetic fields, which induces currents and creates a supportive microenvironment for nerve regeneration. In vivo studies show that this approach significantly enhanced myelin restoration, gastrocnemius muscle regeneration ...

Supporting Piggybacked Co-Located Leisure Activities via Augmented Reality [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Technology, especially the smartphone, is villainized for taking meaning and time away from in-person interactions and secluding people into "digital bubbles". We believe this is not an intrinsic property of digital gadgets, but evidence of a lack of imagination in technology design. Leveraging augmented reality (AR) toward this end allows us to create

A Solution‐Based Deposition Method Enabling Pigment Blue Edible Electrochemical Transistors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel solution‐based method is presented to produce Copper Phthalocyanine fibrous films displaying effective ion permeability and enhanced transconductance in electrolyte‐gated transistors architectures. Using these films, the first instance of a fully edible electrolyte‐gated transistor with volumetric capacitance, targeting in‐body applications, is
