Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is a crucial prenatal diagnostic tool, but a declining number of procedures makes training a challenge. Here we describe a transcervical CVS simulator made from ballistic gelatin. Ninety‐three Maternal‐Fetal Medicine providers used the simulators during hands‐on workshops and completed surveys regarding their fidelity ...

Bending stress modeling of dismountable furniture joints applied with a use of finite element method
Presented work focuses on bending moment stress modeling of dismountable furniture joints with a use of Finite Element Method. The joints are created from Minifix and Rondorfix cams combined with non-glued wooden dowels.

Bio‐based polymer composites were 3D printed by LCD vat photopolymerization using acrylate epoxidized soybean oil as the monomer and isobornyl methacrylate as the reactive diluent. Two different poplar powders derived from plywood processing waste were incorporated within the photocurable formulations.

Reintroduction of an Endangered Butterfly, the Mottled Duskywing (Erynnis martialis)
We reintroduced Mottled Duskywing (Erynnis martialis), an endangered skipper butterfly, at different life‐stages to restored oak savanna habitat in Ontario, Canada and then performed intensive post‐release monitoring. Our results show that, at one of three sites, a population was established within two years of initiating releases and that pupae and ...

The Louder, the Longer: Object Length Perception Is Influenced by Loudness, but Not by Pitch
Sound by itself can be a reliable source of information about an object’s size. For instance, we are able to estimate the size of objects merely on the basis of the sound they make when falling on the floor.

Abstract Understanding large wood (LW) dynamics on floodplains is important for closing wood budgets and predicting hazards associated with LW. We conducted 38 experiments in a fixed‐bed flume to examine how forest stand density (FSD), wood transport regime, and overbank flood magnitude affect floodplain LW retention.

Characterizing the Three‐Dimensional Flow in Partially Vegetated Channels
Partially obstructed shear flows, such as flows over submerged vegetation patches in river systems, are common in natural environments. Here, a model of a patchily‐vegetated river flow, using staggered arrays of rigid wooden dowels, is used to ...

Directed Navigation of Magnetotactic Bacteria via Magnetotaxis in a 3D Vasculature‐On‐A‐Chip
A perfusable vascular network is developed to investigate MTB at the single‐microorganism level. MTB is demonstrated to successfully align and navigate along the magnetic field inside the microvessels. Abstract Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB), inherently motile and self‐powered, are promising biorobotic candidates for targeted anti‐cancer drug delivery ...

In order to provide more accurate suggestions for the restoration of ancient timber buildings, five types of specimens were designed for static loading tests. The tree species used for the specimens was larch. The wooden composite beams were composed of purlins, tie plates, and fangs.

Abstract Concrete‐filled steel corrugated sheet (CFSCS) offers confinement to the core concrete while the outer galvanized corrugated steel sheet (GCSS) offers excellent corrosion resistance. Application of precast multiple CFSCS columns connected through high‐performance concrete (HPC) in constructing a slender column offers ease of construction while
