Dense direct-current (DC) bias routing and numerous radio-frequency (RF) choke inductors pose major challenges to the practical implementation of phase-shifter-free beam steering using PIN-controlled phase switching. To address this issue, a compact vertical DC biasing network is proposed, in which most DC bias lines are routed beneath the ground plane. T ...

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic demanded evidence synthesis approaches that could keep pace with rapidly evolving science and urgent policy needs. Rapid reviews and living evidence syntheses (LES) emerged as critical methodological responses, yet limited guidance exists for teams undertaking such work, particularly regarding the operational challenges o ...

This practitioner reflection examines how painting in plein-air-meaning outdoors from life-inspired multimodal fieldnotes that became the node between research, teaching, and place. This work was conducted during a 4-year, community-engaged art education study where the community art classroom was employed to develop participatory arts-based research meth ...

Specific brain oscillations can be manipulated during sleep to improve sleep quality and memory performance. We previously demonstrated that continuous rocking stimulation (0.25 Hz, lateral movement) applied to good sleepers during sleep enhanced stable deep sleep, boosted NREM oscillations (spindles and slow waves) and memory consolidation. Here, we inve ...

Males and females, especially in species with more pronounced sexual dimorphisms, may face very different trade-offs between detecting and avoiding predation threats and the need to court potential mates. Within aquatic ecosystems, the use of reliable publicly available chemosensory risk assessment cues allows prey to assess local threats and optimize the ...

Co-pollution of nitrate and tetracycline (TC) poses a critical barrier to efficient biological treatment due to impaired electron transfer, diminished microbial metabolic activity, and disrupted community structure. To address this challenge, this study synthesized an iron-nitrogen-doped carbon material (Fe-NC) featuring electron-withdrawing pyridinic nit ...

Transwell co-culture systems are models for examining cellular crosstalk, but the impact of porous membrane material on myogenic outcomes remains uncharacterized. We investigated the influence of transwell membrane material on myoblast differentiation in co-culture with human primary adipocytes and in varying concentrations of insulin-transferrin-selenium ...

Urbanization drives rapid and extreme environmental change, profoundly shaping the ecology and evolution of populations. In this Perspective, we call for the integration and development of evolutionary theory and empirical research through collaboration between theoretical and experimental biolog ...

Blunt traumatic aortic rupture (BTAR) is a life-threatening injury that can occur in high-impact events such as motor vehicle collisions, falls, and sports-related trauma involving the thorax. Despite improvements in vehicle safety features and regulations by using anthropometric test devices, BTAR remains associated with substantial clinical severity and ...

Adipose tissue (AT) immune cells are implicated in the pathology of type 2 diabetes (T2D), and their content likely differs between abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue (abSAT), femoral SAT (fmSAT), and visceral adipose tissue (VAT). Therefore, the objective of the current study was to develop a ...
