Recovery of viral RNA and infectious foot-and-mouth disease virus from positive lateral-flow devices [PDF]

, 2014
Foot-and-mouth disease Virus (FMDV) is an economically important, highly contagious picornavirus that affects both wild and domesticated cloven hooved animals. In developing countries, the effective laboratory diagnosis of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is

A Physiological Microfluidic Blood–Brain‐Barrier Model for In Vitro Study of Nanoparticle Trafficking and Accumulation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A human microfluidic blood‐brain barrier (mBBB) model enables spatially resolved comparison of nanoparticle trafficking. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), liposomes, and nanoplastics exhibit distinct transport and disruption behaviors, revealing that membrane composition and uptake pathways govern BBB interaction.

A Theoretical and Experimental Study of Oil Wicking Mechanism of Kapok Fibrous Powder Assembly

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2023
Kapok fiber has a large lumen with a natural waxy surface which endows it with distinct hydrophobic-oleophilic properties. Oil-impregnated kapok fibrous powder (KFP) has great potential as a lubricant carrier material.

Elephant‐Skin‐Inspired Porous Cementitious Tiles with Programmable Crack Networks for Passive Cooling

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Elephant‐skin‐inspired crack networks are programmed in porous diatomaceous earth (DE)‐cement composites using substrate‐guided, stress‐concentration induced fracture. The resulting crack lattices act as capillary conduits that redistribute water, while the porous matrix stores moisture.

A Bio-Wicking System to Prevent Frost Heave in Alaskan Pavements: Phase II Implementation [PDF]

, 2019
Water within pavement layers is the major cause of pavement deterioration. High water content results in significant reduction in soil’s resilient behavior and an increase in permanent deformation.

A Comprehensive Review of Waste‐Derived Materials for Solar Still Performance Enhancement

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Solar desalination reduces energy use and produces freshwater sustainably, but its productivity is limited and cannot meet rising demand. Thus, solar desalination system improvements are sought to boost water productivity. Waste materials are abundantly available and burden the environment, making them low‐cost enhancers for solar desalination systems.

ISLAND Campus: a fee-free formal university educational intervention in mid- to later-life to reduce modifiable risk factors for dementia and improve cognition

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience
IntroductionPrevious research has tended to focus on early-life education for dementia risk reduction, yet there are great gains for building cognitive reserve in mid- to later-life through educational interventions.
