Bioadhesive‐Integrated 3D‐Printed Multilayer Scaffolds Secure a Mechanically‐Stable Osteoimmune Niche for Enhanced Bone Augmentation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A 3D‑printed multilayer adhesive scaffold, firmly anchored to bone defects by simple finger pressing, suppresses micromotion and secures mechanical stability of the osteogenic niche. This stabilization likely contributes to the enhanced bone augmentation by fostering a pro‑regenerative mechano‐immune profile—characterized by M2‑like macrophage ...

How do secondary schools in England talk about modern languages? A corpus‐assisted discourse analysis of school websites

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Situating the study within an ecological perspective on language education, this article examines how secondary schools in England present Modern Languages (MLs) on official school websites. Focusing on 44 schools in Local Authorities with the lowest percentage average entry for the Languages pillar of the EBacc, we built a text database ...

Carbon emission assessment of tunnel infrastructures: From construction to operation

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study develops a lifecycle carbon accounting framework for tunnel infrastructures, covering design, construction, operation, maintenance, and dismantling. Applied to a subsea tunnel case, the framework reveals the carbon emission distribution among four typical tunnel types and highlights potential carbon offset methods for low‐carbon tunnel ...

A Reassessment of Petrochemistry of ~1.2 Ga Tonalitic Rocks of the Northern Tugela Terrane, Natal Metamorphic Belt, South Africa: Further Constraints on the Evolution of This Belt

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
Our petrochemical studies on ~1.2 Ga granitoids of the Natal Metamorphic Belt, South Africa, do not suggest any property similar to Phanerozoic‐style subduction‐related granitoids. Plot of Kotongweni Tonalite in Y versus Sr diagram (after Moyen 2011), note that most samples have Sr/Y < 50.
