Vog: Using Volcanic Eruptions to Estimate the Health Costs of Particulates

The Economic Journal, EarlyView., 2018
The negative consequences of long‐term exposure to particulate pollution are well established but a number of studies find no effect of short‐term exposure on health outcomes. The high correlation of industrial pollutants complicates the estimation of the impact of individual pollutants on health.

Opportunities of Semiconducting Oxide Nanostructures as Advanced Luminescent Materials in Photonics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The review discusses the challenges of wide and ultrawide bandgap semiconducting oxides as a suitable material platform for photonics. They offer great versatility in terms of tuning microstructure, native defects, doping, anisotropy, and micro‐ and nano‐structuring. The review focuses on their light emission, light‐confinement in optical cavities, and

Soft Skins With Reversible Thickness Morphing: Materials, Mechanisms, and Applications

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Evolution of electronic skin (e‐skin) technologies toward adaptive, multifunctional soft skins. Phase I highlights early rigid and discrete sensory interfaces. Phase II shows the transition toward flexible, stretchable, and large‐area e‐skin. Phase III captures the emergence of computational e‐skin.

Covalent Attachment of Quaternary Ammonium Group to Geopolymer Surface With Silane Coupling Agent to Enable Simultaneous Adsorption of Cations and Anions

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Modification of geopolymer surface with a silane coupling agent containing quaternary ammonium group enables the development of dual‐functioning ion exchanger for both cations and anions. In the present study, the performance of this material was demonstrated for the uptake of ammonium and nitrate from water.

Nanocellulose Alleviates Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy via Gut Microbiota‐Mediated Bile Acid Homeostasis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Nanocellulose, derived from microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) through sulfuric acid hydrolysis or mechanical grinding to produce CNC or CNF, was tested in a rat ICP model. Particularly, CNF improved gut microbiota composition, reduced secondary bile acid metabolism, and restored bile acid homeostasis through modulation of the gut–liver axis.

EpCAM+ Extracellular Vesicle PD‐L1 Dynamics as a Predictive Biomarker of Immune Checkpoint Blockade Response

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A highly sensitive SERS‐based platform measures PD‐L1 expression on EpCAM+ circulating EVs from cancer patients undergoing immunotherapy. Monitoring dynamic changes after treatment reveals that reduced EpCAM+ EV PD‐L1 levels associate with improved long‐term clinical outcomes, establishing a non‐invasive approach for tracking immune checkpoint ...

Real‐Time Biomass Estimation in High‐Density Yeast Fermentations Using Soft Sensor Modeling

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
Accurate biomass measurements, both offline and online, are essential to improve prediction and control in yeast fermentation. This study develops regression‐based predictive models to correlate offline measurements (Dry Cell Weight and OD600 from a spectrophotometer) with online OD860 probe signals to provide accurate real‐time biomass estimations and
