Rhythms in longitudinal thalamic recordings are linked to seizure risk
Epilepsia, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Seizure unpredictability remains a major clinical challenge for people with epilepsy. Previous works have shown that seizure risk is associated with circadian and multi‐day cycles in both brain and physiological signals. However, it remains unclear whether neural activity from deep brain structures such as the anterior nucleus of the

Are seizure forecasts and cycles better than chance? What chance?
Epilepsia, EarlyView.Abstract Objective There is a growing synergy between the lines of research on cycles in epilepsy and seizure forecasting. It has been conjectured, for instance, that incorporating information about significant seizure cycles into forecasting algorithms can lead to a better‐than‐chance forecasting performance.

Nonlinear Response‐History Analyses of Masonry and Mixed Structures With HybriDFEM
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The hybrid discrete‐finite element (HybriDFEM) method, previously developed to perform static and modal analysis in discrete and coupled discrete‐finite element models, is extended to nonlinear response‐history analyses. The equations of motion for the HybriDFEM model are solved through various numerical time‐integration schemes, both explicit

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Reinforced concrete pier walls designed before the 1970s often incorporate lap splice in potential plastic‐hinge regions. Previous experimental tests indicate that most of pier walls experienced post‐yield lap splice failure, necessitating a modeling approach that captures not only lap splice strength but also deformation capacity.

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.This study investigates the heat transfer characteristics of copper‐foam composite phase change materials with different gradient porosities. Three models with uniform porosity and three models with gradient porosities are developed to examine their effects on temperature distribution and melting behavior. ABSTRACT Phase change materials (PCMs) exhibit

Exploration, EarlyView.This study innovates a Ca2+‐responsive hydrogel dressing that releases AIE photosensitizers on‐demand. Low Ca2+ enhances bacterial hyaluronidase (HAase) activity, degrading hyaluronic acid dressing to trigger antibacterial ROS release, while high Ca2+ inhibits HAase, preventing overdosing.

Trends in Ocean S‐Isotopes May Be Influenced by Major LIP Events
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 341-376., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.
