Switchable and reversible wetting properties

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
Reversible and switchable wettability is attainable by integrating stimuli‐responsive materials. This review categorizes different external stimuli capable of modulating wettability. Abstract Controlling surface wettability is essential for various applications such as water harvesting, oil/water separation, and smart skin technologies.

MXene‐Based Flexible Memory and Neuromorphic Devices

Small, EarlyView.
The unique two‐dimensional structure, excellent electrical conductivity, and diverse surface groups of MXenes have garnered significant attention. Coupled with their exceptional flexibility, MXene‐based devices hold immense potential for flexible memory and neuromorphic systems. This review comprehensively discusses the fundamentals of flexible devices,

A Systems Approach to Evaluating Ionizing Radiation: Six Focus Areas to Improve Quality, Efficiency, and Patient Safety

Journal for Healthcare Quality, EarlyView., 2013
Abstract Ionizing radiation is an essential component of the care process. However, providers and patients may not be fully aware of the risks involved, the level of ionizing radiation delivered with various procedures, or the potential for harm through incidental overexposure or cumulative dose.

Micropatterned Surfaces with Unidirectional Wetting Properties for Liquid Transport

Small Structures, EarlyView.
Micropatterned surfaces that guide droplets in a single direction are gaining attention for their role in liquid transport. This review explores how surface designs enable such behavior, from gravity‐driven flow to stimulus‐responsive movement. It also discusses fabrication techniques, design challenges, and emerging strategies to advance directional ...

Comparing leukocyte‐ and thrombocyte‐rich fibrin and autologous grafts for the treatment of experimentally induced wounds in the tarsometatarsus of chickens

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Managing open wounds in birds is challenging. This study compared leukocyte‐ and thrombocyte‐rich fibrin (L‐TRF) and autologous grafts for treating wounds in the tarsometatarsus of chickens. Methods Full‐thickness wounds were experimentally induced in the tarsometatarsus of 23 healthy adult chickens.

Scaling from microsite to landscape to resolve litter decomposition dynamics in globally extensive drylands

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Decomposition is the transformation of dead organic matter into its inorganic constituents. In most biomes, decomposition rates can be accurately predicted with simple mathematical models, but these models have long under‐predicted decomposition in globally extensive ...

An Ontological Security Interpretation of Global South Middle Powers' Non‐Alignment in the Ukrainian War

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper explores why a group of Global South middle powers has adopted stances on the Ukrainian war that diverged from the positions of the United States under President Joe Biden, the European Union and the broader NATO/Western alliance. I claim that these disparities are partially explained by the affiliation these states have with the ...

South Africa: The Ambiguities of a Middle Power

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT South Africa represents an interesting species of a middle power. This derives from its inherited economic muscle as Africa's powerhouse and the liberation struggle against apartheid, both of which have shaped its democratic transition. The traditions of liberation and democracy, in turn, have profoundly influenced how South Africa has ...
