Comparative Methods for Teaching Contemporary and Ancient Saints

Religions
This paper argues that a comparative study of saints is not only a useful classroom tool for historians and religionists, but an exceptionally powerful locus of pedagogical insight and cultural understanding.

Winter draws on

BMJ, 1998
Years ago a snowy haired anatomy lecturer used to make us cringe with his double entendres. Smutty jokes can be funny if they have a touch of wit but once they lose their freshness they are just embarrassing, even to preclinical students. That sad old man is gone now but his spirit lives on in the British advertising industry.

Multi‐Scale Bionic Structure Constructs Biomass Flame‐Retardant Thermal Insulation Foam Material

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by mussel adhesion and hierarchical brick‐and‐mortar architectures, a cellulose‐based biomimetic foam is constructed by anchoring bentonite nanosheets onto a polydopamine‐decorated cellulose nanofiber network. The resulting foam combines low thermal conductivity with intrinsic flame retardancy and full biodegradability, presenting a ...

Acute appendicitis masquerading as food poisoning

Radiology Case Reports
Acute appendicitis is a common surgical emergency. The underlying pathology in appendicitis occurs when the vermiform appendix, a vestigial organ connected to the large intestine, becomes swollen and inflamed. Some typical symptoms include abdominal pain,

Combining Spherical-Cap and Taylor Bubble Fluid Dynamics with Plume Measurements to Characterize Basaltic Degassing

Geosciences, 2018
Basaltic activity is the most common class of volcanism on Earth, characterized by magmas of sufficiently low viscosities such that bubbles can move independently of the melt.

Into the Winter Whiteness [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2012
A father recounts a transformative journey of love, loss, and learning as his son developed and eventually died of a fungal infection that occurred during a period of immunocompromise after a bone marrow transplantation to treat hypodiploid leukemia.

Advancing Energy Efficiency in Smart Windows via Dual‐Responsive Electro‐Thermochromism

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A durable and stable quasi‐solid‐state electro‐thermal dual‐responsive photothermal regulation device has been employed in advanced energy‐efficient smart windows. The devised device not only incorporates a thermochromic hydrogel characterized by high ionic conductivity, high optical transmittance, and a low LCST, but also comprises an electrochromic ...

A Quantitative Lithium Inventory Framework for Anode‐Free Lithium Metal Batteries

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
A component‐resolved lithium inventory framework quantitatively tracks Li redistribution across the cell in anode‐free NMC622||Cu pouch cells throughout cycling. Three sequential degradation stages are identified: formation‐driven cathode Li depletion, midlife inactive Li0 accumulation, and late‐stage runaway SEI thickening. The cathode, as the sole Li
