Ultrafast photoinduced phase transition in lead-free ferroelectric KTN

Bertoni, Roman · Godin, Nicolas · Keller, Niels · Mandal, Ritwika · y 3 más

The project aims to investigate ultrafast phase changes in application relevant lead-free ferroelectric phase change materials (PCM). Devices based on well-known PCM, such as chalcogenides, show characteristic switching times in the order of hundreds of ns. The project will focus on the physics of ultrafast optically i...

Not only bowel: opportunistic assessment of sarcopenia in pediatric ulcerative colitis patients undergoing magnetic resonance enterography

Silvia Furio · Marco Graziani · Lapo Nardoni · Giovanni Di Nardo · y 9 más

Malnutrition and sarcopenia are under-recognized complications in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease, with an understudied interrelationship. This exploratory study aimed to estimate the prevalence of sarcopenia in children with newly diagnosed Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and to investigate associations between opportuni...

Artificial intelligence-assisted design of self-assembling peptide hydrogels for neural regeneration: Principles and opportunities

Yuxiang Zhou · Xingyu Jiang · Xiaohang Zhang · Xiaomin Yao · y 6 más

Neural system injuries remain a major clinical challenge because of the limited regenerative capacity of neural tissues and the formation of inhibitory post-injury microenvironments. Self-assembling peptide hydrogels (SAPHs) have emerged as a highly biomimetic class of materials for neural repair, owing to their nanofi...

Solving parametric linear matrix inequalities

Naldi, Simone · Safey El Din, Mohab · Taylor, Adrien · Wang, Weijia

We consider linear matrices A = A_0 + x_1A_1 + ... + x_nA_n, where the A_i's are m×m symmetric matrices with entries in a ring R. When R = ℝ, the feasibility problem consists in deciding whether the linear matrix inequality (LMI) A ⪰ 0 is feasible, i.e., the x_i's can be instantiated to obtain a positive semidefinite m...

A cluster-randomised controlled trial of Ahead of the Game: Mental health literacy and resilience in organised youth sport

Stewart A. Vella · Caitlin Liddelow · Angie S .X. Lim · Christian Swann · y 7 más

Organised sport provides an accessible environment for mental health promotion, particularly for adolescent males. The aim of this study was to conduct a cluster-randomised controlled trial evaluating the effectiveness of Ahead of the Game, a sport-based mental health literacy and resilience program, compared to an act...

Preferences and Willingness to Pay for Maintenance Inhaler Therapy of Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Thailand: A Discrete Choice Experiment

Thanyaporn, Kuagoolsirirot · Thananan, Rattanachotphanit · Onanong, Waleekhachonloet

To assess preferences and willingness to pay (WTP) for maintenance inhaler attributes among chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients in Thailand.A discrete choice experiment was conducted among 543 COPD patients attending COPD outpatient clinics. Five attributes were assessed: likelihood of medication-use...

Effect of ultra-processed–rich versus ultra-processed–free preload meals at high and low energy density on ad libitum energy intake: a randomized crossover trial

Ludmila de Melo Barros · Micnéias Roberth Pereira · Vanessa Amorim Peixoto · Guilherme César Oliveira de Carvalho · y 13 más

Ultraprocessed food (UPF) consumption leads to lower satiation under ad libitum conditions compared with less processed foods, with energy density (ED) proposed as a key mediator. However, studies using fixed-energy portions are needed to clarify the impact of UPF on satiety. This randomized, 2x2 crossover trial evalua...
