Three‐dimensional geometric morphometric analysis of diaphragmatic dome motion in COPD patients

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Diaphragmatic dysfunction is a hallmark of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), especially in emphysema, where hyperinflation alters diaphragm geometry and impairs inspiratory mechanics. However, quantitative three‐dimensional (3D) assessments of diaphragmatic dome shape and motion across COPD phenotypes are limited.

Clade‐wide morphological and functional variation of the sauropsid columella

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The columella (=stapes) is the middle ear bone of reptiles that transmits vibrations from the environment to the inner ear. It has been shown to exhibit extensive interspecific morphological disparity in several clades; however, its morphological variation and associated functional consequences remain poorly described.

Low‐Field MRI as a Multiparametric Tool for Large Engineered Tissue Characterization

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advances in 3D bioprinting have enabled the fabrication of large and complex engineered tissues, but their increasing size demands non‐invasive tools for monitoring structure, maturation, and perfusion. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) offers unique multiparametric capabilities, yet high‐field systems remain costly and inaccessible for most ...

Impact of Trace Water on the Macroscopic Activity of Commercial Ammonia Cracking Catalysts Under Process‐Relevant Conditions

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
This study evaluates how small water impurities—typical in ammonia cracking feedstock—affect catalyst performance at elevated pressures and temperatures. By decoupling permanent degradation from reversible inhibition, the findings highlight trace water as a significant factor for reliable catalyst screening and industrial ammonia cracking scale‐up ...

Methanol With Increased Water Content in Internal Combustion Engines

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
This study investigates the potential to improve overall Well‐to‐Wheel efficiency by using low‐purity methanol from synthesis of hydrogen and furnace gas as CO2‐source. Combustion efficiency is comparable to pure methanol, while distillation energy could be saved.

Decolorization of Disperse Dyes in Textile Polyester Recycling Using Activated Carbon

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
Decolorization of disperse dyes from disodium terephthalate solutions is examined using two activated carbons with varying pore structures and surface properties. The potential impact of pore size distribution and surface charge on the adsorption process is assessed to support optimized adsorbent selection.

Hydrogen donor‐assisted visbreaking of Canadian oil sands bitumen

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract High‐viscosity Canadian oil sands bitumen requires processing for efficient transportation and refining. Partial upgrading technologies, primarily based on thermal processing, can effectively reduce, or even eliminate, the use of costly diluent, increase bitumen quality and market value, potentially decrease greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and
