Encouraging Continuous Usage of Wearable Activity Trackers: The Interplay of Perceived Severity, Susceptibility and Social Media Influencers.

While past studies have provided enough evidence to show consumer attitude as a key predictor of the adoption and continuous usage intention of wearable activity trackers (WATs), limited studies have examined the antecedents of consumers' attitudes towards the adoption and continuous usage intention of WATs. Drawing on the health belief model and cue utilization theory, the study seeks to examine the influence of perceived severity and vulnerability as antecedents of consumers' attitudes towards the adoption and continuous usage intention of WATs as well as the role of social media influencers (SMIs) in influencing continuous usage of WATs. Online survey data from 966 participants (M = 40.

ERCAD: A Parametric Reactor Design Tool That Enables Rapid Prototyping and Optimization of Electrochemical Reactors through 3D Printing.

The reactors are an essential component of electrosynthetic reactions. As the electron transfer processes are heterogeneous, the reactors have a significant impact on reaction outcomes. This has resulted in reaction reproducibility being problematic, which commercial reactors alleviate somewhat but are expensive and cannot be optimized or iterated upon.

Intravascular lithotripsy in infra-popliteal peripheral artery disease.

Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) carries a significant risk of limb loss and thus demands urgent attention. Calcified atherosclerotic disease affecting the infra-popliteal (IP) arteries poses a formidable challenge for effective revascularization due to the narrow vessel diameter and the common presence of extensively calcified, long occlusive lesions. Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) is an endovascular treatment that induces microfractures in the medial calcifications of blood vessels, thereby facilitating the clearance of calcified obstructive arterial lesions.
