Photo‐Degradable Polyester Networks and Multi‐Photon Printed Objects Based on Cyclic Ketene Acetals

ABSTRACT Radical ring‐opening polymerization (RROP) of cyclic ketene acetals (CKAs) constitutes a powerful avenue to biodegradable polyesters via radical polymerization. CKA‐based degradable polymers have been established mainly as linear polymers, while networks from CKA‐based R...

Trends of Nonylphenol Exposure in an Australian Population Based on Urinary Metabolite Analysis

Abstract Nonylphenol (NP) is an alkylphenol primarily used to synthesize nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEO) and tris(4-nonylphenyl) phosphite (TNPP) which are extensively used in industrial and consumer products. NP and its derivatives are well-known endocrine disruptors and are asso...

Combining Implementation and Data Sciences to Accelerate Evidence Integration into Healthcare – ImpleMATE

Background The translation of research evidence into routine healthcare practice is often slow and inconsistent, even timely implementation can significantly improve patient outcomes. While implementation science offers strategies to close this gap, current approaches are frequen...

Physics-Guided Windowed Symmetry Metrics for Improved Green’s Function Retrieval in Passive Distributed Acoustic Sensing Ambient Noise Interferometry

Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) has revolutionized ambient noise interferometry, yet the reliability of retrieved empirical Green’s functions (EGFs) remains highly sensitive to non-diffuse noise fields and anthropogenic transients. In complex or noisy environments, global metr...

Indicator Compliance in Bulk Water Does Not Reflect Biofilm-Associated Microbial Community Composition or Potential Risk in UV-C LED-Treated Rainwater Harvesting Systems

Abstract Rainwater harvesting (RWH) systems are increasingly used to supplement potable and nonpotable water supplies but remain understudied with respect to biofilm-associated microbial risk. This study used a pilot-scale, temperature-controlled pipe loop to investigate how pipe...

A Comparative Study of the Static and Dynamic Mechanical Properties of High-Loaded Red Mud–Epoxy Resin Composites Prepared with Various Mixing Methods

Red mud (RM) poses a critical environmental problem because its high alkalinity restricts direct utilisation and landfilling remains the dominant disposal method. In this study, composites with a high RM concentration (40 wt.%) in an epoxy resin matrix were prepared using three f...

Unsafe after dark? Women's travel experiences while walking, cycling and using public transport in Australia and New Zealand

Women experience distinct safety challenges when walking, cycling, and using public transport, particularly after dark and in relation to unwanted behaviours. Contemporary evidence integrating multiple transport modes and whole-journey stages across Australia and New Zealand rema...

The Governance Gap: Democratizing Drug Development Through Decision Architecture

Drug development is most exposed to governance failure where it can least afford it, in global health. The field has more predictive power than at any point in its history and roughly the same failure rate it had a decade ago. We argue that this paradox persists because the field...

Disrupted cerebellar networks in uncontrolled focal to bilateral tonic–clonic seizures

Abstract Objective Focal to bilateral tonic–clonic seizures (FBTC) are associated with significant morbidity and an elevated risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). The cerebellum has been implicated in modulating the frequency and severity of tonic–clonic seizures....

Inhibition of BRN2 in melanoma reverses anoikis resistance and sensitizes cells to killing by vemurafenib

Abstract Anoikis is an apoptotic cell death program triggered upon detachment from surrounding extracellular structures. However, the ability to evade cell death by anoikis in the presence of apoptosis-inducing stimuli is necessary for the formation of malignant tumors and progre...

Assessing UV Filter Exposure in Queensland, Australia: Human Biomonitoring Evidence Highlighting Homosalate in Children

Abstract Sunscreens are an important protection measure against harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation. However, potential health effects of several commonly used UV filters are currently being discussed. We conducted a human biomonitoring (HBM)-based exposure and risk assessme...

3-D Crustal structure of Mount Isa, metallogenic province in Northern Australia from ambient noise tomography

Summary The Mount Isa Province in northern Australia represents one of the largest exposed Proterozoic crustal regions within the Australian continent and is recognized globally for its world-class mineral deposits. The underlying crustal architecture has been investigated using...

Building Research Capacity in Medical Radiation Sciences Through University–Clinical Partnerships: A Commentary on Working Smarter, Not Harder

A research partnership model frames university–clinical collaboration as central to strengthening medical radiation sciences research capacity. By aligning students, academics, clinicians, resources, ethics processes, skills development and outputs, the model supports sustainable...

Lawyering in a youth crime moral panic: Queensland, media and caring about First Nations children

This article, drawing upon interviews with lawyers who work with children-clients in the State of Queensland, Australia's youth justice system, identifies how the contemporary media-driven moral panic about youth crime affects their practice. The lawyers reported frustration at t...

Robust inference and correlates from genetic associations with personality

Personality traits describe stable differences in how people think, feel and behave, and how they interact with and experience their social and physical environments1,2. Many questions remain unanswered about associations between DNA and personality traits, such as their robustne...

The role of hSSB1 and hSSB2 in the DNA damage response: mechanisms and implications

Abstract The DNA damage response preserves genome integrity by detecting DNA lesions, activating checkpoint signalling, and coordinating repair with cell-cycle control. Defective or incomplete repair can promote mutation accumulation, chromosomal instability, cancer development,...

Linking Hydrological Pathways and Organic Matter Dynamics to Water Colour in Temperate Forested Catchments

Abstract Water colour, derived from chromophoric dissolved organic matter (cDOM), is a key indicator of water quality. Increasing water colour trends worldwide and in Australia have raised concerns, yet the drivers of colour variability in natural ecosystems remain poorly underst...

Deep Network Reparameterized Full‐Waveform Inversion From Sequential to Simultaneous Sources With Adjoint‐State Method

Abstract Full‐waveform inversion (FWI) relies on sequential‐source (SQ) workflows for high imaging precision, while simultaneous‐source (SML) encoding drastically accelerates computation but introduces irreversible wavenumber discontinuity artifacts in hybrid‐domain implementatio...

The Effects of Continuous Venovenous Hemofiltration on Immunosuppressive Drug concentrations in an Ex‐Vivo Model of the critically Ill Adult: (CITRIC) study

BACKGROUND: The pharmacokinetics of immunosuppressive drugs during continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) modalities such as continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH) are poorly understood, yet these drugs are crucial for transplant and critically ill patients. METHODS: A...

The Acquisition of Verb Argument Realization in Mandarin Chinese

Discourse-information structure has been found to shape the realization of verb argument structure. This study investigates the effects of grammatical roles, information status, and animacy of verb arguments on verb argument realization in the speech of Mandarin-speaking children...
