Cellular Material Network: A General Machine Learning Architecture for Predicting Mechanical Properties of Cellular Materials

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study introduces Cellular Material Network (CM‐Net), a pioneering machine learning architecture integrating physical information, to predict the mechanical properties of cellular materials. Comprehensive validation through simulations and experiments demonstrates its accuracy in predicting nonlinear behaviors, including initial peak compression ...

Lab‐Scale Fabrication Process Selection for Soft Robotics: Benchmarking, Tradeoffs, and Guidelines for Formative Manufacturing of Soft Silicone Components

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Fabrication shapes soft robot performance, but benchmarking data and selection guidelines remain scarce. We fabricate silicone actuators using two molding techniques and three mold types, characterizing them with cycle testing, microscopy, profilometry, and 3D imaging. Applying our lab‐scale, soft robotics‐specific fabrication evaluation criteria shows

Farm labor scarcity and its uneven impacts on crop producers in the United States

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This study is the first to evaluate the impacts of farm labor scarcity on producers in the United States across different crop production systems. Between 2002 and 2017, we disentangle the effects of labor scarcity from the impacts of rising commodity demand, technological change, and supply of other inputs on labor market outcomes.

Perinatal rib fractures in 18 calves delivered from Holstein dams

Veterinary and Animal Science, 2020
Cranial rib fractures during dystocia and the ensuing callus formations in calves often cause tracheal stenosis. Rib fractures may affect the lung since ribs tend to fracture above the costochondral junction during delivery.

New horizons in rib fracture management in the older adult.

Age and Ageing, 2019
Adults aged ≥60 years now represent the majority of patients presenting with major trauma. Falls are the most common cause of injury, accounting for nearly three-quarters of all traumas in this population.

Improving access to new technologies: An experiment with Kenyan input sellers

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Agrodealers play a critical role in rural economies, selling essential inputs for agricultural production, stocking new products, and providing farmers with technical advice. However, uncertainty can discourage them from stocking newer, less familiar products, limiting the availability of innovative technologies and leading to market failures ...

Role of Transthoracic Ultrasound in the Detection of Radiographically Undetected Rib Fractures

Journal of Rawalpindi Medical College, 2017
To determine the role of high resolution ultrasound in rib fractures after normal radiography. Methods: In this cross-sectional study patients presenting with chest trauma in the hospital and having radiography to rule out rib fracture, but having normal

Revisiting paravertebral muscles in European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and European brown hares (Lepus europaeus) (Leporidae; Lagomorpha)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Domesticated European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) have long been chosen as laboratory model organisms. Despite this, there has been no definitive study of the vertebral musculature of wild rabbits. Relevant descriptions of well‐studied veterinary model mammals (such as dogs) are generally applicable, but not appropriate for a species ...
