Inequalities in pediatric avoidable hospitalizations between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal children in Australia: a population data linkage study [PDF]
, 2016 Background: Australian Aboriginal children experience a disproportionate burden of social and health disadvantage. Avoidable hospitalizations present a potentially modifiable health gap that can be targeted and monitored using population data.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Laser surface texturing significantly improves the corrosion resistance and mechanical strength of 3D‐printed iron polylactic acid (Ir‐PLA) for marine applications. Optimal laser parameters reduce corrosion by 80% and enhance tensile strength by 25% and ductility by 15%.

X‐Ray Tomography Analysis of Damage Mechanisms in Metal Matrix Syntactic Foams During Compression
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.In situ synchrotron X‐ray tomography is used to investigate the internal damage mechanisms of AlSi12 metal matrix syntactic foam with ceramic hollow spheres during compressive loading. It is concluded that a homogeneous distribution of the second‐phase filler material results in a sequential collapse in a localized region; this leads to controlled and ...

Production of Metallic Foam Precursors Using Current‐Activated Pressure‐Assisted Densification
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.A powder compaction metallurgical method, known as current‐activated pressure‐assisted densification, is applied to enhance the compaction of metal foam precursors. This method improves precursor quality by achieving higher density, lower electrical resistivity, and more uniform pore nucleation in the resulting foams, reducing energy consumption and ...

Experimental Analysis and Physics‐Based Analytical Model on Twisted and Coiled Artificial Muscles
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Twisted and coiled artificial muscles made from silver‐coated nylon fibers are investigated through experiments and analytical modeling. The actuators achieve contractions up to 19.3% and specific work of 8 kJ kg−1, though efficiency remains limited (≈0.15%) by thermal losses.
