Recycling of Thermoplastic Unidirectional Tapes: An Image‐Analysis Method for Measuring Residual Glass‐Fiber Length in Convoluted Fiber Clusters

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Development of a rapid, low‐cost method for measuring residual glass fibre length: samples are collected by tweezers, prepared via submersion, imaged with a flatbed scanner as a cost‐effective alternative to microscopy, and analyzed for fibre length independently of image acquisition.

Mechanical Properties of Hybrid Natural Fiber–Carbon Fiber‐Reinforced Polypropylene Nonwoven Composites: Influence of Degree of Densification, Fiber Volume Fraction and Laminate Architecture

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Reinforcement where it matters: from a homogenious fiber‐reinforced part to a load‐adapted hybrid molded composite part. ABSTRACT Nonwoven composites based on flax fiber (NF)‐reinforced polypropylene (PP) offer a promising route toward sustainable lightweight structures but are limited by moderate mechanical performance.

Evaluating the efficacy of obturator cryoneurolysis for hip adductor spasticity: An observational, prospective study

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Hip adductor spasticity is a common affliction among patients with disorders of the central nervous system. Cryoneurolysis is a novel intervention for spasticity involving the application of extreme cold to a nerve. This induces axonal breakdown, relieving spasticity.

The predictive nature of diagnostic nerve blocks for lower extremity spasticity management with botulinum toxin and neurotomy: A systematic review

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction/Objective Diagnostic nerve blocks (DNBs) involve the injection of anesthetic around peripheral nerves to temporarily reduce motor tone. Although they are used clinically to inform spasticity treatment with neurotomy and chemodenervation, there is little research exploring the predictive nature of DNBs.

Evaluation and assimilation of Arctic Weather Satellite data in the AROME‐Arctic forecast system

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The Arctic Weather Satellite (AWS), launched in August 2024, is a prototype for the future EPS–Sterna constellation of small satellites carrying an innovative microwave sounder. We present the first assessment of AWS in the regional AROME‐Arctic numerical weather prediction system, covering post‐launch calibration results and the impact of AWS ...

Training on the quadriceps of individuals with rheumatoid arthritis: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Rheumatology &Autoimmunity, EarlyView.
Physical training significantly improves quadriceps strength in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. No serious adverse events were reported. Abstract Background Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, systemic disease in which patients can benefit from physical exercise.

Three Spirometry‐Based At‐Risk Phenotypes Predict Incident Airflow Limitation: A Population‐Based Study

Respirology, EarlyView.
Analysing the population‐based KORA and SHIP studies, three spirometric at‐risk subtypes (early airflow limitation, PRISm, and small airway dysfunction) were consistently associated with incident airflow limitation. Their combination in a conceptual framework identified most future cases with high negative predictive value, suggesting potential for ...

Mapping Scytonemin Pigment Content and Biocrust Functional Indicators Using High‐Resolution Multispectral Imagery

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that high‐resolution multispectral imagery combined with machine learning can accurately predict key biocrust functional indicators, particularly the UV‐protective pigment scytonemin, across dryland ecosystems. Using fine‐scale imagery acquired in the Chihuahuan Desert and Colorado Plateau, we identified spectral bands strongly ...

Fertilizer Sustainability: A Conceptual Framework for Assessing Equitable and Sustainable Soil Inputs

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern industrial agriculture is predicated largely on the production and utilization of chemical fertilizers. Although this approach has played an integral role in increasing food security in many parts of the world, the long‐term sustainability of this resource‐intensive approach is questionable.

A Generic Approach to Creating a National Soil Security Strategy

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil is a living and non‐renewable resource that underpins our very existence. It produces our food, filters our water, stores vast amounts of carbon, cycles essential nutrients, and sustains the rich tapestry of biodiversity on which our planet depends.
