Elevated temperature effects on swelling pressure of compacted bentonite

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
We present a set of new experimental investigations on the effects of elevated temperature on the swelling pressure development of compacted bentonite. This research was motivated by an emerging interest in using bentonite as a plug material in oil and gas well abandonment.

Systematic Investigation of the Residence Time Distribution in a Twin‐Screw Extruder for the Continuous Mixing Process of Electrode Slurry in the Battery Cell Production

Energy Technology, EarlyView.
The residence time distribution in the continuous mixing process for battery raw material is systematically investigated. Suitable tracers are identified, with NaCl for the twin‐screw extruder and sodium bicarbonate for powder dosing. Key parameters are varied, showing that mass flow has the strongest influence, while solid content also plays a ...

Harnessing Biomarker Activatable Probes for Early Stratification and Timely Assessment of Therapeutic Efficacy in Cancer

Exploration, EarlyView.
Considering the rapid progression of cancer in most cases, any delay in evaluating therapy outcomes poses a significant threat to patients’ lives. Consequently, it is imperative to implement stratification and conduct timely evaluations of therapeutic effects either before or during the early stages of cancer treatment.

Applications and Challenges of Auditory Brain‐Computer Interfaces in Objective Auditory Assessments for Pediatric Cochlear Implants

Exploration, EarlyView.
Auditory brain‐computer interface connects the brain with external devices and decodes neural signals related to auditory perception. Time‐domain and frequency‐domain analyses are commonly used to identify biomarkers associated with auditory rehabilitation, such as cortical auditory evoked potentials and mismatch negativity.

Fire Risks in Using Paraffin as Neutron Radiation Shielding Material

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Safety in general and fire safety in particular are key concerns in neutron‐based research facilities, and the choice of the material that is used to stop neutron radiation is critical in this respect. Borated paraffin has been used at existing research facilities and could potentially be used at new facilities.

A Ray of Hope: Gamma Radiation for Microplastic Remediation

Global Challenges, EarlyView.
Gamma irradiation is a promising method for degrading microplastics in sewage sludge. Cobalt‐60 doses up to 116 kGy are used, achieving over two‐thirds degradation at the highest level. With further optimization, gamma irradiation could improve wastewater treatment sustainability by minimizing microplastic presence in biosolids and protecting ...

Glial Versus Neuronal Na+/K+‐ATPase in Activity‐Evoked K+ Clearance and Their Sensitivity to Elevated Extracellular K+

Glia, EarlyView.
The glial Na+ pump regulates [K+]o during neuronal activity, and the neuronal version restores [K+]o to baseline. Spreading depression‐related rise of K+ does not cause SD propagation via suppression of Na+/K+‐ATPase or glutamate transport. ABSTRACT Neuronal activity in the central nervous system is associated with a [K+]o transient that is swiftly ...

Bitter Taste Receptor Agonists Induce Apoptosis in Papillary Thyroid Cancer

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common thyroid malignancy, with a 20% recurrence rate. Bitter taste receptors (T2Rs) and their genes (TAS2Rs) may regulate survival in solid tumors. This study examined T2R expression and function in PTC cells.

Detection of PTEN Mutations in Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsies of Indeterminate Thyroid Nodules: Impact on Diagnosis and Prognosis

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Data connecting PTEN mutations with thyroid cancer risk for indeterminate nodules remain limited due to the rare nature of these mutations. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between PTEN mutations identified in cytologically indeterminate nodules and final pathology and clinical outcomes.
