A Novel, Low‐Cost, Nonbiological Phantom for Training in Ultrasound‐Guided Regional Anesthesia

Sonography, Volume 13, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Trainees of ultrasound‐guided regional anesthesia (UGRA) should begin with phantoms before use on patients. The phantoms currently available have substantial drawbacks. Our aim was to develop a low‐cost homemade UGRA phantom without perishable parts, which shows sonoanatomical details and hydrodissection when injecting fluid—the ...

On Albanese torsors and the elementary obstruction

, 2007
We show that the elementary obstruction to the existence of 0-cycles of degree 1 on an arbitrary variety X (over an arbitrary field) can be expressed in terms of the Albanese 1-motives associated with dense open subsets of X.

Amendment Thresholds and Voting Rules in Debt Contracts

Journal of Accounting Research, Volume 64, Issue 1, Page 181-227, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Most loan contracts in the United States contain a provision for lender voting rules. We study the optimal voting rule that allows lenders to waive a covenant violation. When lenders have heterogeneous preferences, lenient voting rules increase the probability of waivers that allow inefficient investments.

Rethinking the Origins of Cross‐Language Effects: How Heard Verbs Influence Japanese‐ and English‐Speaking Children's Attention to the Details of Actions

Developmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Languages differ in how words carve up the world into categories, and these differences in lexical categories often influence how speakers interpret perceived events. Past research has shown that languages with a single and general word for one domain tend to cue attention more broadly than languages with multiple, more specific verbs.

The Core–Shell Conformational Space of Compartmentalized Single‐Chain Nanoparticles by Paramagnetic and Hyperpolarized NMR Spectroscopy

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 9, 13 February 2026.
Combinations of integrative NMR spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulations reveal the internal structural dynamics of single‐chain nanoparticles. Abstract Single‐chain nanoparticles (SCNPs) are formed by the collapse of individual polymer chains, generating entities comparable to proteins in size, internal structure, and function.
