Anatomy of the Soft Palate and Its Role in Upper Airway Function: A Narrative Review

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The soft palate is a complex anatomical structure, located at the posterior aspect of the oral and nasal cavities, able to dynamically create valve closure of the nasal and the oral cavities. Its precise movement is critical for speech, swallowing, and respiration. Despite its functional importance, detailed characterization of its constituent

Preventing wall deposition in duct flows: The role of particle number density and flow direction

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Particle deposition in wall‐bounded turbulent flows is a challenge in many industries, including pneumatic conveying, filtration, and related applications. When particles accumulate near boundaries, they reduce transport efficiency, alter near‐wall flow structures, and cause blockage.

Investigating the Cytoskeleton of DRGs Using Cryo‐Electron Microscopy and Deep Learning

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We describe a method for determining the ultrastructural organization of axons and varicosities of cultured dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons using cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo‐EM). Cryo‐EM reveals the dimensions, proximity, and overall organization of biological specimens in a near‐native state, avoiding artifacts of fixation and ...

Analytical stress solution framework for lined compressed air energy storage chambers and its application to safe burial depth determination and supporting effectiveness evaluation

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
An analytical framework delivers a closed‐form stress solution for lined compressed air energy storage chambers, enabling the determination of the minimum safe burial depth. The solution quantitatively evaluates lining support effectiveness, offering a reliable tool for chamber design and optimization.

Augmented Reality of Anatomical Structures of the Maxillomandibular Complex for Learning Dental Radiographic Techniques

Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Augmented reality (AR) enables interactive learning in real‐world environments. In dental radiography education, AR offers a promising tool to enhance students' clinical skills by allowing them to simulate and practice procedures before engaging with actual patients. Repeated practice in an AR environment can reinforce theoretical

Soft Tissue Safety Assessment of Pulsed Solid‐State Thulium:YAG Versus Holmium:YAG Lasers: A Quantitative Porcine Model Simulation

Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Laser lithotripsy carries an inevitable risk of collateral tissue injury. This study compared the safety profiles of pulsed Holmium:YAG and Thulium:YAG lasers by examining their effects on soft tissue under laser settings relevant to lithotripsy, using ex vivo porcine kidney models.

Monitoring shallow geothermal aquifers with active‐source distributed acoustic sensing: A prognostic feasibility study on the University of Leeds Geothermal Campus

Near Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.
Abstract The United Kingdom's shallow aquifers offer significant but underdeveloped geothermal energy resource. Seismic methods can help address this by improving the understanding of aquifer heterogeneity and potentially allowing long‐term monitoring of thermal plumes.

Evaluating Testability of Permafrost Models Through Physical and Thermal Testing in Complex Mountain Terrain, Yukon, Canada

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Due to its subsurface nature, permafrost cannot be directly observed with the naked eye or optical remote sensing. Consequently, accurately describing its distribution and thermal state is challenging. This is especially true in vast, remote environments, where obtaining comprehensive field data is demanding or improbable.

Internal Structure, Kinematics, and Prehistory of Frozen Debris Lobe‐A (FDL‐A), Brooks Range, Alaska

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Frozen Debris Lobe‐A (FDL‐A)—one of hundreds of FDLs in the Brooks Range of northern Alaska—is a slow‐moving landslide in permafrost that has been the subject of research since 2008 due to its close proximity to the Dalton Highway. Here, we synthesize more than a decade's worth of climate and surface measurements of monitored FDLs, and the ...

Lot Acceptance Under Inspection Errors: Benefits of Multiple‐Inspector Sampling Versus Single‐Inspector 100% Inspection

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In high‐value and safety‐critical manufacturing contexts (e.g., aerospace, nuclear and defense sectors), reliable and robust conformity assessment of production lots is imperative. While 100% inspection by a single inspector may seem like a solution for this purpose, it can be prone to human error, which can distort lot acceptance decisions ...
