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...

International consensus guidance for general population screening for islet autoantibodies to diagnose early-stage type 1 diabetes: a nominal group technique process

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that targets and destroys insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreatic islets. The incidence of type 1 diabetes is rising globally. At the clinical diagnosis of type 1 diabetes, between 20% and 67% of children and adolescents present wit...

Influence of pretreatment methods on electrodeposition of magnetic Fe-Co coatings on carbon fibres

Abstract Magnetically responsive carbon fibres that can be actively aligned during composite manufacturing are of interest for improving the load bearing applications of fibre-reinforced lightweight structures. This work investigates thermal and chemical pretreatment methods to r...

A topological approach to the Cahn–Hilliard equation and hyperuniform fields

Hyperuniform structures are disordered, correlated systems in which density fluctuations are suppressed at large scales. Such a property generalizes the concept of order in patterns and is relevant across diverse physical systems. We present a numerical characterization of hyperu...

Assessment of Gibbs Free Energy Calculation in PI‐Controlled Heating

ABSTRACT Challenges in chemical lab experiments often differ from industrial flow process control. Small inaccuracies can become major cost factors, often ignored in lab tests. The present work connects limits of test accuracy and calculated non‐equilibrium entropy, enthalpy, and...

The UZH protocol: Separating errors and constructing improved CP2K basis sets and pseudopotentials

Reliable density-functional simulations require numerical settings whose residual errors are smaller than the chemical and materials trends being interpreted. In CP2K/QUICKSTEP, this requirement is complicated by the joint use of atom-centered Gaussian basis sets and norm-conserv...

Anodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Improves Social Behavior Alongside Neuroplastic Changes in a Tsc2 +/− Rat Model of Autism Spectrum Disorder

ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by altered synaptic connectivity and network organization, resulting in profound impairments in social communication and interaction. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) represents a...

Non‐contrast CT Markers of Hematoma Expansion and Andexanet Response in Factor Xa Inhibitor‐Associated Intracerebral Hemorrhage: An Analysis from ANNEXa ‐I Trial

In this post hoc analysis of the ANNEXa-I trial (n = 434), we evaluated non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) markers of hematoma expansion (HE) in factor Xa inhibitor (FXai) -associated intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). At least one NCCT marker was present in 72.1%, and HE (≥12....

It's about time: Specific and unspecific effects of episodic future thinking on farsighted decisions

Humans tend to discount the value of delayed rewards. As a consequence, they forego larger long-term benefits (e.g., €29 in 91 days) in favor of smaller short-term gains (e.g., €20 now). Episodic future thinking (EFT) attenuates such delay discounting. That is, people are more li...

Olfactory Threshold Can Be Reliably Tested With Sniffin' Sticks in Non‐Clinical Settings: Associations Shown in a Diverse, General Population

ABSTRACT Objective The olfactory threshold part of the Sniffin' Sticks test is widely used to assess chemosensory function, yet most studies are conducted in controlled laboratory or clinical environments with selective samples. This study examined odour threshold performance wit...

Therapeutic coma in non-convulsive status epilepticus is associated with increased complications and mortality: a retrospective cohort study

INTRODUCTION: While therapeutic coma is an established escalation strategy in generalized convulsive status epilepticus, evidence for benefit in non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) is limited and treatment-related complications may affect outcome. METHODS: We performed a ret...

A pancreatic cancer organoid-macrophage co-culture using starPEG-heparin hydrogel deciphers tumor-immune cell interactions

Abstract Macrophages are among the most abundant immune cells in the pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) tumor microenvironment (TME) and play a key role in regulating the immunosuppressive niche that facilitates tumor growth. Although recent three-dimensional (3D) culture sy...

Ecological momentary insights into cannabis use and its contexts: a pre-post legalization study in Germany

Abstract Globally, cannabis ranks third in psychoactive substance prevalence after nicotine and alcohol, with heavy use linked to psychosis, anxiety, and depression. However, real-time data on how legal reforms influence consumption remain scarce. This Ecological Momentary Assess...

The Indian English Complaint Tradition: ‘Old Chestnuts’ and New Perspectives

ABSTRACT English usage in India has been the target of a linguistic complaint tradition ‘which has taken the form of complaint about so‐called mis‐use of language and linguistic decline’ since the 19th century. The Indian English (IndE) complaint tradition in the 21st century has...

Superconductivity in epitaxial PtSb(0001) thin films

Building on earlier reports of superconductivity in bulk PtSb, we present a systematic study of superconductivity in epitaxial PtSb(0001) thin films grown on SrF 2 ( 111 ) . Electrical transport measurements reveal a superconducting transition at T c = 1.72 K . The field-induced...

Reproducible human reward imaging phenotypes exhibit differential sensitivity to dopamine D2 receptor antagonism

Abstract Human reward processing varies along cue-centric and outcome-centric axes, but a reproducible mechanistic account of individual variation in incentive salience attribution has been lacking. Using fMRI across five cohorts (N-total=1,251; N1=890; N2=245; N3=34; N4=48; N5=3...

Controlling Grain Growth in Powder Bed Fusion of Yttria‐Stabilized Zirconia Using Femtosecond Lasers: Challenges and Methodological Insights

This study demonstrates binder‐free laser powder bed fusion (PBF‐LB) of 8 mol% yttria‐stabilized zirconia (8YSZ) using a femtosecond laser and a triangular scan strategy that controls heat accumulation by varying scan‐vector length. Laser power (31–52 W), scan speed (100–500 mm s...

Anomalous hardening of CrMnFeCoNi high-entropy alloy deformed by high-pressure torsion

Abstract The CrMnFeCoNi high-entropy alloy (HEA) was severely deformed by high-pressure torsion (HPT) at temperatures ranging from 77 K to 673 K. Phase stability, microstructure and texture were investigated by diffraction of synchrotron radiation. At low HPT temperatures, the lo...

High‐Efficiency Deep Blue Single‐Gaussian Europium(II) Emitters and Their Emitter‐Host Interactions

ABSTRACT Eu(II) complexes are attractive emitters for deep‐blue organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) due to their narrow, parity‐allowed 4 f –5 d emission; however, their implementation in vacuum‐processed OLEDs has remained limited. Here, we introduce a new molecular design con...

Quantum states of three 3He atoms confined in a C60 fullerene

We employ a Non-Coulombic Non-Orthogonal Configuration Interaction (NC-NOCI) approach to study the confinement of three fermionic helium atoms, 3He, inside a C60 fullerene, with the aim of elucidating how encapsulation affects their spatial distribution and energy-level structure...
