Wicking Behaviors of Ring and Compact-Siro Ring Spun Yarns with Different Twists

AUTEX Research Journal, 2019
In this study, the wicking properties of ring and compact-siro ring spun staple yarns were compared. The twist level, which is related to the structure of the staple yarns, was found to significantly influence the wicking property of the two kinds of ...

Participatory community-based arts for older people living with dementia in the community: how are they evaluated? A scoping review

Geriatric Care, 2021
Although the interests in participative arts for people living with a dementia has increased over the last decade, what is yet to be reviewed is how participatory community- based arts activities for this group of people are evaluated. The overall aim of

Characterizing the effects of controlled temperature and relative humidity on liquid water transport behavior of cotton/lycra elastic woven fabric

Materials Research Express, 2021
Liquid transport (wicking) has great effect on the physiological comfort, since it directly determines the moisture management of fibrous assemblies. For elastic fabric structures, the wickability primarily depends on several factors, such as tensile ...

Surface engineering for enhanced wicking: The role of laser machining and surface roughness

Journal of Science: Advanced Materials and Devices
Wicking is an efficient liquid-handling strategy used in biomedicine, textile engineering, and environmental monitoring. Laser micromachining is a powerful method that induces unidirectional wicking by altering a surface's physical and chemical ...

An Instrument to Measure the Vertical Wicking of Fabrics by Non-Contact Method Using Color Sensors

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022
In this research paper, an instrument was designed and developed to measure the vertical wicking behavior of textile fabrics. This instrument measures the vertical wicking capability of the fabric samples with respect to time very precisely by the non ...

Interactive effects of the APOE and BDNF polymorphisms on functional brain connectivity: the Tasmanian Healthy Brain Project

Scientific Reports, 2021
Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging measures pathological alterations in neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease. Disruption in functional connectivity may be a potential biomarker of ageing and early brain changes ...

Development of a smartphone screening test for preclinical Alzheimer’s disease and validation across the dementia continuum

BMC Neurology
Background Dementia prevalence is predicted to triple to 152 million globally by 2050. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) constitutes 70% of cases. There is an urgent need to identify individuals with preclinical AD, a 10–20-year period of progressive brain ...

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Interconnected Porous Hydrogels with Tunable Anisotropy Through Aqueous Emulsion Bioprinting

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A 3D bioprintable microporous bioink is developed using an aqueous two‐phase system (ATPS) composed of extracellular matrix (ECM) mimetic biopolymers. The ATPS bioink enables the fabrication of interconnected porous architectures with up to 70% porosity, supporting long‐term cell viability and 3D cell alignment, enabling a simultaneous generation of ...
