Middlebrow Aesthetics: An Explanation and Defense

open access: yesPacific Philosophical Quarterly, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We offer a philosophical account of the middlebrow as a theoretical category to do explanatory and critical work in aesthetics. On our account, the middlebrow ought to be understood as aspirational popular art. That is, it is art which aspires both to be popular (in a distinctive sense), and at the same time to be something more than popular ...

Engineered surface strategies to manage dental implant‐related infections

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract When exposed to the oral environment, dental implants, like natural surfaces, become substrates for microbial adhesion and accumulation, often leading to implant‐related infections—one of the main causes of implant failure. These failures impose significant costs on patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.

Cognitive Symbionts. Expanding the Scope of Cognitive Science With Fungi

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract It has been argued that fungi have cognitive capacities, and even conscious experiences. While these arguments risk ushering in unproductive disputes about how words like “mind,” “cognitive,” “sentient,” and “conscious” should be used, paying close attention to key properties of fungal life can also be uncontroversially productive for ...

Alterations to longitudinal muscle morphology and mechanical function following immobilization and recovery in female ovariectomized and intact rats

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Serial sarcomere number (SSN) is reduced following immobilization of a muscle in a shortened position in male rodents thereby impairing muscle contractile function. However, in female rodents the effects of oestrogen on SSN and mechanical changes following immobilization and re‐ambulation are unknown.

Putting the brakes on muscle growth: Myostatin as regulator of disuse atrophy

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Skeletal muscle is a highly plastic tissue that rapidly adapts to changes in mechanical loading and metabolic activity. Periods of inactivity, including bed rest, limb immobilization or microgravity, induce a pronounced loss of muscle mass and function.

Flow 2.0: A Standardized Toolbox for Real‐Time Phase‐Contrast MRI of Neurofluid Dynamics

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 96, Issue 5, Page 2092-2105, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose Real‐time phase‐contrast MRI (RT‐PC) enables continuous quantification of physiological flow dynamics across multiple temporal frequencies, but its broader application is limited by complex and fragmented post‐processing workflows.

Effects of Ambient Moisture and Large‐Strain Dynamic Preloading on the Dynamic Properties of the EAC‐1A Regolith Simulant

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 16, Page 5701-5711, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The EAC‐1A lunar mare simulant, a silty sand, was selected by the European Astronaut Center (EAC) for use in the LUNA analogue facility's lunar simulation testbed. Its stress‐ and strain‐dependent shear modulus and damping ratio were determined via resonant column testing on specimens prepared either from ambient moisture material or oven ...

Large-scale plane strain tests on mechanical properties of gravelly soils under unloading and reloading conditions

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao
Aiming at the repetitive loading and unloading issue in the plane strain of water conservancy and transportation projects, the large-scale geotechnical triaxial apparatus of Xi'an University of Technology modified with a pressure chamber of plane strain,
