Insight into the blockage vulnerability of evolving spatial networks is important for understanding transport resilience, robustness, and failure of a broad class of real-world structures such as porous media and utility, urban traffic, and infrastructure networks. By exhaustive search for central transport hubs on porous lattice structures, we recursively determine and block the emerging main hub until the evolving network reaches the impenetrability limit. We find that the blockage backbone is a self-similar path with a fractal dimension which is distinctly smaller than that of the universality class of optimal path crack models.

- Spinal cord injury (SCI) disrupts normal spinal cord function, leading to various autonomic, sensory, and motor disorders, with 10 to 83 cases reported per million people each year.
- *Traumatic SCI is caused by mechanical damage that impacts spinal cord tissue, and current treatment methods primarily involve surgery and conservative therapies, which often fall short of promoting recovery.
- *Research is exploring the use of bioactive compounds like curcumin from turmeric, combined with different types of stem cells, to enhance neurological recovery in SCI, showing promise in experimental models.*
Electrospun nanofibrous membranes, with their unique structural features, can potentially enhance wound healing through controlled delivery of active agents. Here, an innovative porous nanofibrous membrane was developed as a dressing patch with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory functionalities for cutaneous wound healing. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) and Salvia abrotanoides essential oil (SAEO) were incorporated into sodium alginate, which served as the shell.

Methods: Scaffolds with a core-shell structure and different compositions were synthesized using the electrospinning method. Biological investigations included antibacterial testing, cell viability analysis and cell attachment evaluation.
Color Vision Deficiency (CVD) is one of the most common types of vision deficiency. People with CVD have difficulty seeing color spectra depending on what types of retina photoreceptors are impaired. In this paper, the Ishihara test with 38 plates was used to examine the Electroencephalogram (EEG) of ten subjects with CVD plus ten healthy individuals.
