New constraints on the postglacial evolution of Lago Maggiore, Northern Italy

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lago Maggiore is situated in an overdeepened valley reach at the southern margin of the European Alps, and its thick sediment infill allows the reconstruction of the postglacial valley and lake evolution. We study here the sedimentary succession in the lower Ossola Valley, which is infilled by ~500 m of deposits. In a marginal position, a core

Sensorial and nutritional qualities of muscles from cross‐bred Salers heifers raised on mid‐mountain pasture

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study investigated the effects of crossbreeding, finishing system, and muscle type on carcass characteristics, intramuscular fat (IMF), image‐based IMF estimation, fatty acid composition, and meat quality in beef heifers. Charolais × Salers (C × S) and Angus × Salers (A × S) crossbred heifers were finished either on pasture or ...

Liquid marble technology to create cost-effective 3D cardiospheres as a platform for in vitro drug testing and disease modelling

MethodsX, 2020
Three-dimensional (3D) cell culturing has several advantages over 2D cultures. 3D cell cultures more accurately mimic the in vivo environment, which is vital to obtain reliable results in disease modelling and toxicity testing.

Floating mechanism of a small liquid marble [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2016
AbstractFlotation of small solid objects and liquid droplets on water is critical to natural and industrial activities. This paper reports the floating mechanism of liquid marbles, or liquid droplets coated with hydrophobic microparticles. We used X-ray computed tomography (XCT) to acquire cross-sectional images of the floating liquid marble and ...

Repurposing antimicrobial agents for neuroprotection: Mechanisms, clinical potential, and challenges

Neuroprotection, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial agents exert neuroprotective effects through modulation of interconnected pathways. Tetracyclines, macrolides, antimalarial agents, sulfones, and antiparasitic agents suppress neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis while preserving mitochondrial function and neurotransmission.

Fidget and Sensory Toys for Anxiety and Emotional Regulation in Children: A Scoping Review With Implications for Pediatric Perioperative Care

Pediatric Anesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary of the scoping review on fidget and sensory toys for childhood anxiety. ABSTRACT Background Non‐pharmacological interventions are essential to reduce procedural anxiety in pediatric care. Fidget and sensory toys are widely used for distraction and self‐regulation, yet evidence on their effectiveness remains fragmented.

Reflections, perceptions and practices of spearfishing among Ulithian communities

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Spearfishing is a common and effective subsistence fishing method in coral reef‐dependent communities. Although its ecological impacts have been widely studied, spearfishing's sociocultural dimensions have received less attention despite its direct impacts on both reef and reef‐dependent communities.

Mechanical Sequential Counting with Liquid Marbles [PDF]

, 2018
Here we demonstrate the first working example of a liquid marble-operated sequential binary counting device. We have designed a lightweight gate that can be actuated by the low mass and momentum of a liquid marble. By linking a number of these gates in series, we are able to digitally count up to binary 1111 (upper limit only by our requirements ...
