A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study assessing the impact of probiotic supplementation on antibiotic induced changes in the gut microbiome

Frontiers in Microbiomes
The human gut microbiome, crucial for health, can be disrupted by antibiotic treatment, leading to various health issues and the rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This study investigates the impact of a probiotic on the gut microbiome’s composition

Microfabricated Anisotropic Myobundles for the Scalable Production of Cardiac Tissue Grafts

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Controlling the anisotropy of cardiac tissue remains an outstanding challenge in the field of cardiac tissue engineering. Here, we introduce an approach to generate anisotropic cardiac myobundles using cell‐adhesive, synthetic, electrospun fibers and stem cell‐derived cardiac fibroblasts.

The Port of Hambantota as a Transshipment Port: Competitiveness Assessment [PDF]

Journal of South Asian Logistics and Transport
The Port of Hambantota is strategically located along the East-West main sea route, with an approximate deviation of ten nautical miles. Most current business at the Port of Hambantota relies on automobile roll-on/roll-off, breakbulk, bulk, and project ...

Powering Nanocrystal‐Based Heat Engines With Light‐Emitting Metasurfaces That Influence Their Temperature

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Metasurfaces and other structured photonic environments can dramatically modify the absorption and/or light emission of semiconductors. However, the consequences of these changes on the temperature of the system are not well understood. The authors address this problem for colloidal nanocrystals and leverage their findings to convert light into ...

Port clusters and economic development of ports.

REPORTER OF THE PRIAZOVSKYI STATE TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY Section: Economic sciences, 2019
The paper argues that cooperation between port authorities has not yet led to consolidation processes, unlike what has happened in other segments of the chain. Some examples of consolidation at the port authority level are given. It is emphasized that consolidation of port authorities will become inevitable as the economy grows, as well as ...

Low‐Profile, High‐Gain GRIN RF Lenses via Multi‐Material Vat Photopolymerization

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We investigate the opportunity of leveraging multi‐material vat photopolymerization printing to manufacture intricate lenses exhibiting permittivity gradients that can increase signal gain in transmitted radiofrequency signals in the X‐ and Ku‐bands. Lenses produced with more distinct low‐loss materials (up to 5) can deliver an 18 dB signal gain with a

Self‐Assembled Inorganic Nanomembrane Tubes: Rolled‐Up Piezoelectrics for Microacoustic Wave‐Based Actuators and Sensors

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates a self‐assembly process to generate free‐standing piezoelectric nanomembranes, forming ultracompact microtubular acoustic wave sensors and actuators. The miniaturized 3D piezoelectric platform reported in this work can be applied in telecommunication, energy harvesting, and acoustofluidics. Moreover, the 3D self‐assembly can add

Lower Danube Ports Development and Opportunities

Journal of Danubian Studies and Research, 2020
Inland waterways and maritime transport network consists of two equally important elements: links and nodes. For an efficient and reliable functioning of the transport network both elements must be equally developed and harmonized.
