Dynamic light scattering for particle characterization subjected to ultrasound: a study on compact particles and acousto-responsive microgels

Scientific Reports
In this report, we investigate dynamic light scattering (DLS) from both randomly diffusing silica particles and acousto-responsive microgels in aqueous dispersions under ultrasonic vibration.

General phase-structure relationship in polar rod-shaped liquid crystals: Importance of shape anisotropy and dipolar strength

Giant, 2022
Ferroelectricity is a property with spontaneous polarization, which is of paramount importance in modern electrooptic applications. Yet, its observations are mostly limited to solids or chiral smectic C liquid crystals with nearly no fluidity.

Two energy barriers and a transient intermediate state determine the unfolding and folding dynamics of cold shock protein

Communications Chemistry, 2021
Force-dependent transitions can provide insights into the free-energy landscape of proteins. Here, the authors observe the folding and unfolding dynamics of the model protein Csp using magnetic tweezers, from which a free-energy landscape with two energy

ICU‐EEG Pattern Detection by a Convolutional Neural Network

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) often require continuous EEG (cEEG) monitoring due to the high risk of seizures and rhythmic and periodic patterns (RPPs). However, interpreting cEEG in real time is resource‐intensive and heavily relies on specialized expertise, which is not always available.

Self Assembly of Soft Matter Quasicrystals and Their Approximants

, 2011
The surprising recent discoveries of quasicrystals and their approximants in soft matter systems poses the intriguing possibility that these structures can be realized in a broad range of nano- and micro-scale assemblies.

Prescribing patterns in growing tubular soft matter by initial residual stress. [PDF]

Soft Matter, 2019
Initial residual stress is omnipresent in biological tissues and soft matter, and can affect growth-induced pattern selection significantly. Here we demonstrate this effect experimentally by letting soft tubes grow in the presence or absence of initial ...

Lived and care experiences of chronic musculoskeletal shoulder pain in Australian adults: A qualitative study

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objectives Australian evidence on lived and care experiences of chronic musculoskeletal shoulder pain (CMSP), irrespective of disorder classification or disease, is limited. However, such evidence is important for person‐centred care and informing local service pathways and care guidelines or standards.

Stability of Quasicrystals Composed of Soft Isotropic Particles

, 2011
Quasicrystals whose building blocks are of mesoscopic rather than atomic scale have recently been discovered in several soft-matter systems. Contrary to metallurgic quasicrystals whose source of stability remains a question of great debate to this day ...
