Experiments with Lime Mortars containing Charcoal and Ashes
EXARC Journal, 2022 We encountered a number of cases in the published archaeological studies where ashes and charcoal were used as aggregates in ancient lime mixtures. These mixtures were tested in a small number of experiments, and this paper presents the results.

The Production of Roman Metal Screw Threads
EXARC Journal, 2023 The production of Roman screws and screw threads is a topic that is largely absent in the archaeological literature. During the Roman period, small metal screw threads were used both as fastenings and to impart motion.

Medications and their use in the Graeco-Roman era
Suid-Afrikaanse Tydskrif vir Natuurwetenskap en Tegnologie, 2007 As from the 6th century BC Graeco-Roman medical therapy comprised three components, viz. diet and healthy lifestyle (regimen), surgery and medicaments (pharmacotherapy), of which the latter was the oldest. Although the Corpus Hippocraticum (5th century BC), with minor Egyptian influence, contained no text of medicines as such, and seemed to prefer ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.All‐epitaxial and scalable ferromagnetic/non‐magnetic Fe5−xGeTe2/WSe2 van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures exhibiting room‐temperature magnetism and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) are realized. The system displays proximity‐tuned magnetic anisotropy, thickness‐dependent unconventional Hall effects, and temperature‐dependent sign reversal of ...

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Cement‐mimetic hydraulicity is realized in an organic polymer through a counterintuitive reaction in which a hydrophilic linear polymer reacts with water to undergo hydrophobization during curing via silatrane sol–gel chemistry. This polarity‐inverting curing process turns a water‐plasticized putty into a water‐tolerant rigid material, enabling ...

A Human Bone Defect‐on‐a‐Chip Model for Studying Bone Regeneration
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This study presents a novel human bone defect‐on‐a‐chip (BDOC) model, aiming to recapitulate key processes during early bone healing, incorporating bone graft substitutes. Over 21 days, human mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (HMSCs) and human primary macrophages are co‐cultured in the BDOC together with calcium phosphate microparticles.

Molecular Basis of NPY Recognition and Ligand Selectivity at the Neuropeptide Y5 Receptor
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Here, we present the first active structure of the neuropeptide Y5 receptor (NPY5R) in complex with its endogenous ligand NPY and the Gi1 protein. The cryo‐electron microscopy structure, validated by extensive mutagenesis studies, gives important insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying ligand binding and receptor activation.
