The scale matters: A review on stimuli‐responsive microrobots categorized by scale for biomedical applications

open access: yesResponsive Materials, EarlyView.
We systematically summarize how each scale dictates fundamental choices in design feature, manufacturing technology, driving mechanism, and control strategy, which are inherently governed by scale‐dominated physical principles. Furthermore, the application of scale‐determined operation modes of microrobots across different stages of medical ...

Benthic Macroinvertebrate Recovery After Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrades: Implications for Biomonitoring

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During the past decade, major upgrades have been made to the Kitchener and Waterloo wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in the Grand River watershed in Ontario, Canada. As part of efforts to evaluate the effectiveness of these investments (>$450 M CDN), a benthic macroinvertebrate (BMI) monitoring program was initiated by sampling upstream and

Integrative Analysis of Plasma Proteome and Genome Reveals Novel Drug Targets for Chronic Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and nasal polyps (NP) are chronic inflammatory conditions with unsatisfactory treatment outcomes due to frequent recurrence of refractory disease. Identifying new therapeutic targets is essential. Methods We conducted a proteome‐wide Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis by integrating genome‐wide ...

Experimental assessment of large mammal population estimates from airborne thermal videography

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife resource management requires reliable, fast, and affordable methods of surveying wildlife populations to develop and adaptively adjust policies. Thermal video from drones can yield high rates of detection over large areas with relative speed and safety.

Enhancing generalized spectral clustering with embedding Laplacian graph regularization

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract An enhanced generalised spectral clustering framework that addresses the limitations of existing methods by incorporating the Laplacian graph and group effect into a regularisation term is presented. By doing so, the framework significantly enhances discrimination power and proves highly effective in handling noisy data.

Exhaled Volatile Organic Compounds Identify Allergic Patients Among Individuals With Chronic Rhinitis

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
Exhaled decane and nonadecane discriminate allergic (AR + LAR) from non‐allergic (NAR + HC) subjects among individuals with chronic rhinitis. LAR patients display higher levels of exhaled nonadecane than NAR individuals at baseline. Subjects with FeNO≥ 25 ppb have higher levels of exhaled decane, nonanal, and styrene than individuals with FeNO < 25 ppb

Assessing the link between social capital and health outcomes in the Italian regions: An empirical analysis

open access: yesAnnals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract An extensive literature demonstrates a positive relationship between social capital and health. However, empirical analyses within the Italian context remain limited. This study contributes to the existing literature by expanding the empirical evidence on this topic for Italy, employing an ecological approach.

Revised classification of glaciofluvial landforms in the Finnish sector of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Effective and sustainable land use, conservation, and the use of geological resources (incl. raw materials, aggregates and groundwater) require a clear classification system of sedimentary units, with well‐defined vocabulary and unified mapping practices.
