Supporting AI Readiness Through Digital Workflows in Materials Science

Materials science produces heterogeneous data across experiments, simulations, and industrial processes that often remain bound to local formats, manual procedures, and project‐specific software. Digital workflows address this fragmentation through explicit, repeatable, and machi...

Positive Joint Work Redistribution in Running: The Role of Plantar Flexor Fatigue and the Effect of Advanced Footwear Technology

Abstract Over the course of a near-maximal effort 10 km run, positive mechanical work decreases at the ankle and increases at the knee. Although plantar flexor fatigue is believed to be responsible for the proximal shift in mechanical work generation, this has yet to be confirmed...

Increasing BiocharYield in Pyrolysis by Adding Ash

Abstract Wood ash additives increase biochar yield in pyrolysis via catalysis by alkali and alkaline earth metals. However, it remains unclear how ash and biomass properties govern the magnitude of this catalytic effect. Here, we pyrolyzed pelleted and ash-amended woody and grami...

Differences in health outcomes of orthopedic rehabilitation after hip or knee replacement: a prospective pilot study benchmarking 23 rehabilitation facilities using Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs)

Abstract Background Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are increasingly used for benchmarking hip and knee arthroplasty, yet evidence on their feasibility for public reporting of short-term rehabilitation outcomes remains limited. International initiatives such as ICHOM re...
