Proprioception drives tension wood formation for autotropic straightening and postural control in trees

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Proprioception controls trunk straightness in trees through opposite tension wood formation. A spherical growth chamber (a), combined with a two‐dimensional rotating clinostat (b2), suppresses gravi‐ and phototropic sensing. The tree is first tilted horizontally (b1), triggering upward gravitropic bending, actuated by tension wood formation on the ...

The Ramadan Gambit: The Impact of Fasting on Cognitive Performance

Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT More than 2 billion people participate annually in Ramadan fasting, making its potential effects on cognitive performance important for workplaces, education and high‐stakes decision‐making. We study these effects in tournament chess, an incentivised, real‐world cognitive task in which move quality can be evaluated objectively by a strong ...

Anatomical Study of Lateral Compression II Screw Path and Entry Parameters Based on Three‐Dimensional CT Image Reconstruction Techniques

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1454-1463, May 2025.
This graphical abstract illustrates a study where 43 adult patients (21 males, 22 females) underwent CT scans to reconstruct 3D pelvic models using Mimics and 3‐Matic software. The analysis measured the Lateral Compression II (LC‐II) screw path, revealing sex‐based anatomical differences that could improve the precision and safety of percutaneous LC‐II

Customized Metal 3D Printed Total Wrist Prosthesis in the Treatment of Severely Destroyed Wrist: Design Rationale and Clinical Applications

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1536-1546, May 2025.
Four patients with severe wrist destruction from various causes were treated with customized 3D‐printed prostheses. In addition to the specific articular surface matching their original radiocarpal joint, two innovative proximal component designs were created to address different bone defects.

A Neural Network Model for Intelligent Classification of Distal Radius Fractures Using Statistical Shape Model Extraction Features

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1513-1524, May 2025.
This study developed an automated distal radius fracture classification system based on statistical shape model (SSM) feature extraction and neural network classification. The method first extracts point cloud data from CT images, then extracts fracture features through registration, downsampling, and PCA dimensionality reduction, before inputting them

A Repertoire of Major Genes From Crop Wild Relatives for Breeding Disease‐Resistant Wheat, Rice, Maize, Soybean and Cotton Crops

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.

Methods for substituting onsite ambient ultraviolet radiation measurements for personal exposure studies

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Three methods for substituting on‐site ambient ultraviolet radiation measurements for personal exposure measurements were investigated. Assuming spatial persistency of measurements from high‐grade instruments delivers lowest uncertainties up to distances of 82 km.
