Reviewing the effects of food provisioning on wildlife immunity [PDF]

, 2018
While urban expansion increasingly encroaches on natural habitats, many wildlife species capitalize on anthropogenic food resources, which have the potential to both positively and negatively influence their responses to infection.

A Fully Self‐Powered Digital Wearable System for the Auxiliary Treatment of Plantar Fasciitis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reports a system‐level fully self‐powered digital wearable system (FS‐DWS) for the auxiliary treatment of plantar fasciitis. By integrating arch support, energy harvesting, wearable sensing, and machine learning‐driven closed‐loop visualized feedback, the system enables effective plantar pressure reduction and self‐powered, real‐time plantar

Cloning And Characterization Of An Unusual Polyhydroxyalkanoate Acid Synthase (phaC) Gene From A Chromobacterium Sp. Isolated Locally [PDF]

, 2009
Chromobacterium sp. is a bacterium capable of producing polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA). The Chromobacterium sp. PHA synthase (PhaC) is able to polymerize shortchain- length PHA monomers, such as 3-hydroxybutyrate and 3-hydroxyvalerate. Chromobacterium sp.

Flow competition between hepatic arterial and portal venous flow during hypothermic machine perfusion preservation of porcine livers [PDF]

, 2012
Hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) is regarded as a better preservation method for donor livers than cold storage. During HMP, livers are perfused through the inlet blood vessels, namely the hepatic artery (HA) and the portal vein (PO.

Dynamic Shifts in ER–Plasma Membrane Junctions Signaling Define Pro‐Metastatic N‐Glycosylation and Predict Prostate Cancer Progression

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Prostate cancer remains a leading cause of male cancer death, yet screening cannot reliably identify aggressive disease, underscoring the need for tissue biomarkers. It is shown that primary tumors increase ER–plasma membrane junction signaling via STIM1/ORP5, whereas metastasis features their loss, Golgi dispersal, and rapid conversion of high‐mannose

Harnessing Phase Separation for the Development of High‐Performance Hydrogels

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydrogels are indispensable for the development of next‐generation bioelectronics, soft robotics, and biomedical devices, where their mechanical properties determine performance and reliability. Among strategies to enhance hydrogel mechanics, phase separation enables controlled heterogeneity resulting in gel networks that are reinforced by ...

Solutions to the Painlev\'e V equation through supersymmetric quantum mechanics [PDF]

, 2016
In this paper we shall use the algebraic method known as supersymmetric quantum mechanics (SUSY QM) to obtain solutions to the Painlev\'e V (PV) equation, a second-order non-linear ordinary differential equation. For this purpose, we will apply first the

Stimulus‐Induced Self‐Reinforcement in Supramolecular Bamboo Plastics toward Mechanical Robustness and Programmable Shapeability

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A self‐reinforcement strategy is reported for the fabrication of bamboo plastics utilizing ethanol to induce the supramolecular network reconstruction of cellulose and polyacrylamide molecules. These bamboo plastics exhibit high mechanical strength, excellent thermal stability, resistance to low temperatures, and controllable shapeability.

Review of Hmong and American: From Refugees to Citizens [PDF]

Hmong Studies Journal, 2012
While much research has been done on the Hmong, few studies have focused specifically on Hmong American identity. Vincent K. Her’s and Mary Louise Buley-Meissner’s Hmong and American is a contribution to this area of Hmong Studies as contributors to this

PHA Production and PHA Synthases of the Halophilic Bacterium Halomonas sp. SF2003

Bioengineering, 2020
Among the different tools which can be studied and managed to tailor-make polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) and enhance their production, bacterial strain and carbon substrates are essential. The assimilation of carbon sources is dependent on bacterial strain’
