Article Synopsis
- Thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) are ideal for 3D printing via fused deposition modeling (FDM) when flexibility and strength are needed, but predicting how they deform can be challenging due to varying printing parameters.
- This study investigates the development of accurate hyperelastic constitutive models for TPU parts created with different infill geometries and nozzle temperatures, using six groups of uniaxial tensile specimens.
- The researchers found that a third-order Mooney-Rivlin model effectively represents the behavior of these TPU parts, and their approach was validated through experimental results and finite element analysis (FEA), showing minimal errors.
Habitat transitions have shaped the evolutionary trajectory of many clades. Sea catfishes (Ariidae) have repeatedly undergone ecological transitions, including colonizing freshwaters from marine environments, leading to an adaptive radiation in Australia and New Guinea alongside non-radiating freshwater lineages elsewhere. Here, we generate and analyze one long-read reference genome and 66 short-read whole genome assemblies, in conjunction with genomic data for 54 additional species.

- The Global Psychotrauma Screen (GPS) is a brief tool designed to assess a wide range of trauma-related disorders and their risk factors.
- A study of 70 African war refugees in Australia tested the effectiveness of the GPS alongside other clinical assessments, focusing on PTSD, dissociation, and depression.
- Results indicated that specific subscale scores could reliably indicate probable diagnoses, making the GPS a potentially valuable tool for screening PTSD and depression in refugee populations.
