Delayed Exposures and Pre‐Exposure Periods in Self‐Controlled Case Series Studies
ABSTRACT A key assumption of the self‐controlled case series (SCCS) method is that exposures should not depend on the event of interest. However, treatments such as vaccines may be deferred after an adverse health event. One suggestion to handle such delayed exposures is to include a pre‐exposure window in the SCCS model.

Electrothermal Twisted and Coiled Polymer Artificial Muscles and Their Applications in Soft Robotics
Researchers develop a PE@SPN electrothermal polymer artificial muscle with a parallel‐stranded spiral structure. A temperature self‐sensing‐driven hierarchical closed‐loop fractional order PID (FOPID) control scheme is adopted. A rehabilitation manipulator was designed, and subsequently, a series of experiments are conducted to test the performance of ...

Constraining Electron‐Impact Ionization of O2 Through UV Aurora Observations at Ganymede
Abstract While photoionization rates of Ganymede's O2 ${\mathrm{O}}_{2}$ dominated atmosphere are well constrained, the contribution of electron‐impact ionization is rather uncertain. Previous quantitative estimates have relied on assumptions about densities and energy distributions of precipitating electrons, or on rare spacecraft measurements that ...

The Impact of the Sulfur Allotropes and Sulfur Hydrides on the Venus Cloud Chemistry
Abstract Venus is home to vivid sulfur chemistry, with SO2 ${\text{SO}}_{2}$ as the major sulfur gas species and a global cloud layer between 47 and 70 km composed of H2SO4 ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}{\text{SO}}_{4}$ and H2 ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}$O. The chemistry in the clouds has been extensively studied with 1D models, but none is able to reproduce the three orders
