Frameworks for Strategic Leadership [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
I suggest two frameworks that may improve understanding of strategic thinking, strategic decision making, and strategic leadership. The first I call the Epistemology Framework.

Laser‐Induced Structuring of Biocompatible Polymers for the Controlled Orientation of Multinucleated Myotubes

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Laser structuring of biocompatible polymers creates precise surface patterns that influence cell organization. By imaging, contact angle measurements, and chemical analysis, this study demonstrates the ability of laser‐induced micro‐structured surfaces to guide muscle cell alignment. These findings support laser patterning of biopolymers as a promising

A Sleeve Alters the Pressure‐Stretch Curve of a Hyperelastic Balloon to Enable Pre‐Programmed Sequencing

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 6, March 18, 2025.
This article demonstrates that encasing a hyperelastic balloon in an inextensible sleeve greatly increases its burst pressure. This simple mechanical behavior can be used to produce an asymmetric inflation‐deflation sequence for coupled balloons with different thicknesses so they could serve as a soft robot's rear and front anchors when driven from a ...

The Contributions of Skeletal Muscle PKC Theta to Diet-Induced Obesity

open access: yes, 2016
Protein Kinase C- Theta (PKCθ) is a gene predominantly expressed in hematopoietic cells and skeletal muscle. In skeletal muscle, PKCθ regulates fat metabolism and insulin sensitivity.

Magnetic Actuation Under DC and AC Fields of Thermoplastic Polyurethane With Strontium Hexaferrite

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Magnetic thermoplastic polyurethane composites with strontium hexaferrite (SrFe12O19) are produced through a solvent‐free melt‐mixing technique. These composites display a magnetomechanical actuation mechanism, being able to deform (bend and twist) through DC and AC magnetic fields, showcasing their potential as a promising material for the fabrication

Microfluidic Spinning of PEDOT:PSS Microfibers for Nerve Guidance Conduits

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This publication explores the fabrication of microfluidically spun PEDOT:PSS microfibers for conductive nerve guidance conduits (NGCs). It details the spinning process, fiber characterization, and biocompatibility assessment. The study highlights the fibers' mechanical and electrical properties, non‐cytotoxicity, and potential for nerve regeneration or
