Body Size, Dental Pathology, and Maternal Genetic Diversity of Ancient Horses in the Eastern Baltic Sea Region and Western Russia

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The early evolutionary history of modern domestic horses (Equus caballus/Equus ferus caballus), known as the DOM2 lineage, is well documented due to numerous archaeological and ancient DNA (aDNA) studies. Although many uncertainties remain in the domestication timeline, current evidence suggests that the domestication of modern horses began in

Longing for nature: Becoming more connected to nature through nostalgia

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Repairing the human–nature relationship is one of the century's defining tasks. In this paper, we were interested in whether nature‐based nostalgia was a significant and unique predictor of higher nature connectedness as a key operationalisation of the human–nature relationship.

Hypovitaminosis D in acute inpatient cancer rehabilitation: Prevalence, predictors, and practical implications

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Hypovitaminosis D is associated with adverse health outcomes, including increased mortality in patients with cancer. Although vitamin D insufficiency (23%–72%) and deficiency (20%–71%) are common among patients admitted to inpatient rehabilitation, their prevalence and predictors in cancer‐specific inpatient rehabilitation ...

Leucaena Oil Functionalized With Osmium Tetroxide as a Precursor for Polyol‐Based Polyurethane

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Leucaena leucocephala seed oil is converted into a hydroxyl‐functional biopolyol through OsO4‐mediated dihydroxylation. The resulting biopolyol shows a hydroxyl number of 160–175 mg KOH g−1 and is successfully used to produce flexible, open‐cell polyurethane foams, highlighting a renewable route for converting underutilized biomass into value‐added ...

Controlling Linear and Non‐Linear Mechanics in Multicomponent Hydrogels Through Programmable Supramolecular and Covalent Interactions

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Fully synthetic, multi‐component hydrogels are engineered that possess tunable (non)‐linear mechanics by programmable supramolecular and covalent interactions. By changing the type of inter‐network interaction, the linear and non‐linear mechanics of the macroscopic hydrogel were programmed.

Connectivity‐Dependent Mechanics of Main‐Chain Oligomers in Side‐Chain Liquid‐Crystalline Polyacrylate Networks

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Main‐chain liquid‐crystalline oligomers are incorporated into side‐chain polyacrylate elastomers either as covalently connected strands or as non‐network‐bound, physically confined chains. Both architectures contribute to short‐time soft elasticity, but only the capped oligomer shows an additional long‐time terminal relaxation.
