Ultrasound imaging measures of contraction characteristics of deep and superficial pelvic floor muscles differ during voluntary tasks

Continence
Aim: Pelvic floor muscles (PFM) are arranged in deep and superficial layers, Although the superficial layer is commonly considered with respect to sexual function, preliminary evidence shows coordinated contraction of layers during voluntary and ...

Roles of 2D halide perovskites in 2D/3D heterojunctions for high‐performance perovskite solar cells

Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society, EarlyView.
This review establishes a design framework for two‐dimensional (2D)/three‐dimensional (3D) perovskite heterojunctions, redefining the 2D perovskite layer as an active semiconductor component. We classify 2D structures by spacer chemistry and analyze their roles within the heterojunction.

A rare mental foramen variation and the role of cone‐beam computed tomography in preventing nerve injury: A case report

Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The interforaminal space is frequently used for dental implant placement due to its strategic location between the bilateral mental foramina. However, neurosensory disturbances following surgical intervention near the mental foramen (MF) can occur in up to 43% of cases.

Superior CO2 Conversion Performance by Er‐Doped BiOCl Nanosheets Through Synergistic Photocatalytic Memory Effect and Er‐Doping

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Er‐doping and the photocatalytic memory effect through visible‐light irradiation synergistically reconstruct internal electronic states of ultrathin Er‐doped BiOCl nanosheets and generate stable oxygen vacancies. Light absorption, charge carrier separation, and CO2 adsorption capability are subsequently enhanced, leading to a significant increase in ...

Precipitation of niobic acid from potassium niobate in sulphuric acid solution: A route to niobium oxide

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Graphical abstract illustrating the niobic acid precipitation process applied and the product obtained. Abstract This study investigates the precipitation of niobic acid (Nb2O5.nH2O) from potassium niobate solution with addition of sulphuric acid, and its subsequent thermal conversion into niobium oxide (Nb2O5). Thermodynamic modelling with PHREEQC and

Failure characteristics and the energy criterion of rock with a through‐going joint under true‐triaxial unloading conditions: Insights from the DEM model

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The rock failure mode is significantly influenced by the contributing factors, such as the joint inclination, the initial confining pressure, and the unloading point. We found six typical rock failure modes after a large number of numerical tests. Abstract Excavation unloading damages rock masses, with preferential failure along geological defects in ...
