Advanced Science, EarlyView.Magnetically guided bioceramic nanoparticles (“CalBots”) achieve deep dentinal tubule occlusion via directed self‐assembly under externally applied magnetic field. Various visualization techniques and a novel mouse behavioral assay indicate that CalBot‐induced plugs may reduce dentinal sensitivity, offering a promising strategy for future dentin ...

Design Principles for Deployable Fibers Inspired by Hagfish Defense
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Hagfish slime deploys fibers from coiled skeins to form an ultra‐dilute, water‐trapping network. Inspired by this mechanism, design principles are established for synthetic skeins, fabricated with tightly coiled fibers that unravel under flow. These synthetic skeins demonstrate deployable fibrous networks, highlighting generalizable strategies for ...

ON ROTATIONAL INVARIANCE OF HIGHER-ORDER MOMENTS OF REGULAR POLYHEDRA
Facta Universitatis. Series: Architecture and Civil EngineeringThis paper covers aspects of establishing a relationship between the highest-order rotation-invariant moments of inertia and the order of symmetry of Platonic polyhedra. Moments of inertia about arbitrary, but centroidal axes are considered.

Quantifying the land‐use change due to soybean‐based biodiesel in the United States
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.Abstract We quantify the impact of soybean oil‐based biodiesel production on US cropland, using a method that accounts for the intermediate effect of soybean crushing facilities. Based on U.S. Environmental Protection Agency data for biodiesel production and proprietary data for soybean crushing facilities over 2011–2020, we find that the elasticities ...
