Multiscale Coupling From Mastication to Retronasal Aroma Perception: The PG‐DTCFN Model and Multiphysics Simulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Using grilled lamb skewers as a model system, this work builds a multiscale coupling framework from oral processing to retronasal aroma perception, reveals dual‐kinetic release patterns and Electroencephalogram‐characterized central encoding features, and proposes an interpretable physics‐guided deep learning model validated by multiphysics simulation,

Strategy of Triple‐Gradient in Binary Pixels for Flexible Pressure Sensing with High Sensitivity and Wide‐Range Linearity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A flexible pressure sensor with triple‐gradient design of conductivity, modulus, and dimension in binary micro‐dome pixels is proposed. Based on precisely‐designed CNT/PDMS matrix, the device exhibits a linear sensitivity of 974.1 kPa−1 across range up to 1.8 MPa (R2 > 0.99), offering an effective strategy for potential applications in healthcare ...

Bending‐Stable Pressure Sensor Based on Natural Wood Nanofibers for Ultra‐Low Detection Limit

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A wood nanofiber‐based flexible pressure sensor with intrinsic bending‐stable performance is developed through a porous electrospun architecture and interdigital electrode design. The device exhibits an ultra‐low detection limit and stable operation under deformation for physiological monitoring and spatial sensing, providing a sustainable strategy for

Data‐Driven Design of Self‐Adhesive Epidermal Electrodes and Sensors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work presents self‐adhesive, stretchable epidermal electrodes and sensors developed through a data‐driven design framework that integrates artificial neural networks with genetic algorithms. By tailoring optimization objectives, either maximizing electrical conductivity and adhesion or enhancing piezoresistive sensitivity, the study enables the ...

Nanometer Layer Coating to Lactose Particles for Optimization of Dexamethasone Pulmonary Delivery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Nanometer layer coating (NLC) was investigated and its mechanism illustrated by advanced characterization techniques. The effects and application for the inhalation of dexamethasone (DEX) were demonstrated through in vitro and in vivo evaluation. This approach increased DEX bioavailability and enabled the dose to be reduced to 1/30 of the intravenous ...

Health‐related quality of life following total minimally invasive, hybrid minimally invasive or open oesophagectomy: a population‐based cohort study

BJS (British Journal of Surgery), EarlyView., 2020
All patients operated for oesophageal cancer in Sweden from 2013 to April 2018 were identified, and 246 patients were recruited to this population‐based nationwide Swedish study. The results show that longitudinal health‐related quality of life after minimally invasive oesophagectomy was similar to that of the open surgical approach.

OTUD6A‐Mediated Deubiquitination of PRDX1 Protects Against Oral Ulcer by Restoring Mitochondrial Function

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In human oral keratinocytes, OTUD6A promoted cell migration by deubiquitinating and stabilizing PRDX1. Conversely, OTUD6A deficiency reduced PRDX1 stability, triggering mitochondrial dysfunction and aggravating OU progression. ABSTRACT Oral ulcers (OU), as the most highly prevalent and recurrent oral mucosal lesion, have an unclear pathogenesis that ...

A Swallow's Terrace [PDF]

Nature, 1890
MR. A. G. VERNON HARCOURT has just shown me, in his boat-house at Cowley Grange, a specimen of swallow's architecture unlike anything I have seen or heard of. The nest, which is itself normal, is placed at the end of a small beam extending from the top of the door to the angle of the building.
