An investigation into accelerated rehabilitation strategies following an achilles tendon rupture [PDF]

Background Rupture of the Achilles tendon occurs in over 11,000 people annually in the UK. Traditional management using cast immobilisation is being slowly replaced by immediate weight bearing rehabilitation, but currently there is no consensus ...

Fracture maturity controls the complexity of earthquake rupture: evidence from source processes of six moderate earthquakes during swarm activities off the east coast of Izu Peninsula, Japan

Earth, Planets and Space
Volcano-tectonic earthquake swarms associated with the intrusion of volcanic fluids have been occurring intermittently off the east coast of the Izu Peninsula, Japan. In this study, we estimated the source processes of the six largest earthquakes (Mw 3.9–

Neuromorphic Devices for Extreme Environments: State‐Variable Reliability and Stabilization Strategies

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Neuromorphic devices for extreme environments are interpreted through the physical states that store and process information. Radiation, temperature extremes, and vacuum can perturb vacancies, filaments, trapped charges, polarization, interfaces, and readout signals.

Bistable Isochoric Chiral Metamaterials with Reprogrammable Multiaxial Responses

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An isochoric bistable rotational unit cell enables in situ modification of internal contact conditions post‐fabrication, without altering the global envelope dimensions of the surrounding architecture. By selectively switching between open and closed states, the tessellated chiral metamaterial can reprogram its volumetric response, including bulk ...

The Mechanisms of Deep Earthquakes [PDF]

This dissertation uses a variety of seismological and mathematical tools to investigate the mechanisms of deep earthquakes, the properties of fault planes and rupture at high pressure within the Earth, and the local conditions where deep earthquakes ...

In Situ Interfacial Assembly of Dynamic Semi‐Interpenetrating Biopolymer Networks for Robust and Mechanically Adaptive Droplet Interfaces

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A dynamic interfacial semi‐interpenetrating polymer network is constructed by sequential assembly of β‐sheet‐rich SF and CS‐RL. The SF framework provides mechanical strength, while dynamically associated CS‐RL enables local rearrangement, allowing droplets to rapidly reconfigure without loss of interfacial integrity.

Open source virtual environments in computer forensics

, 2008
In this paper we discuss the potential role of virtual environments in the analysis phase of computer forensics investigations. We argue that commercial closed source computer forensics software has certain limitations, and we propose a method which may ...

Slow Cascaded Rupture of the 2026 Mw 7.5 Venezuela Earthquake

Key Points• Joint centroid moment tensor inversion, back-projection imaging, multi-point-source inversion, and finite-fault inversion reveal the multi-scale rupture process of the 2026 Mw 7.5 Venezuela earthquake.• The rupture initiated on a northeast ...

Endosomal Escape of siRNA Polyplexes: A Molecular Dynamics Perspective on Underlying Mechanisms

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Molecular dynamics simulations reveal distinct endosomal escape mechanisms of siRNA nanoparticles, ranging from electrostatic membrane attachment to hydrophobic membrane fusion. Hydrophobic residues and anionic endosomal lipids emerge as key determinants of membrane disruption, linking molecular interactions to experimental delivery performance and ...

Ultra‐Thin Tow‐Based Discontinuous Composites—Material Overview and Aspirations

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Tow‐based discontinuous composites made from ultra‐thin tapes offer outstanding in‐plane mechanical properties. This material, inspired by Nacre, has high volume fraction of tapes exceeding 90 % and allows for quasi‐isotropic material plates less than 100 micrometer in thickness.
