Strain-dependent wicking behavior of cotton/lycra elastic woven fabric for sportswear
The strain-dependent vertical and horizontal wicking of as-prepared cotton/lycra elastic woven fabric was systematically studied. The experimental results revealed that the fabric exhibited a strain strengthening effect.

Physical activity and blood‐based biomarkers of neurodegeneration in community dwelling Australians from ISLAND (Island Study Linking Ageing and Neurodegenerative Disease) [PDF]
Introduction Physical activity, a key modifiable risk factor for dementia, has been associated with biomarkers of neurodegeneration in the central nervous system, but less is known regarding blood‐based biomarkers.

Modifying Wicking Speeds in Paper-Based Microfluidic Devices by Laser-Etching
Paper-based microfluidic devices are an attractive platform for developing low-cost, point-of-care diagnostic tools. As paper-based devices’ detection chemistries become more complex, more complicated devices are required, often entailing the sequential ...

In quantum field theory the “normal ordering” of operators is routinely used, which amounts to shuffling all creation operators to the left. Potentially confusing is the occurrence in the literature of normal-ordered functions, sometimes called “Wick transforms.” In this paper, we introduce the reader to some basic results, ideas, and mathematical ...
