Evaluations of the Annoyance Effects of Noise

Acoustical Physics, 2022
Abstract Noise is defined as audible sound that disrupts silence and causes annoyance. Such annoyance is traditionally assessed by the A-weighted sound pressure level of noise, roughly corresponding to the level of perceived loudness.

Nanomaterials for Allergy Diagnosis and Treatment: Advances, Opportunities and Translational Challenges

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Nanomaterials offer dual applications in allergy management. For diagnosis, nanomaterials enhance analytical sensitivity and improve detection in specific IgE and functional assays such as the basophil activation test (BAT). For allergen‐specific immunotherapy, nanomaterials enable allergen masking and controlled release, and effectively modulate the ...

A Disulfide‐Sticker Strategy for Marine Adhesive Coatings: From Deciphering Self‐Assembly Mechanism to Functional Application in Hair Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A disulfide‐sticker strategy, coupled with Ca2+ coordination, drives the hierarchical self‐assembly of a recombinant scallop adhesive protein into fishnet‐like nanostructures, affording a coating with versatile wet adhesion and intrinsic antioxidant activity. This biocompatible coating markedly promotes hair regeneration by activating follicular niches,
