Identifying internal and external shoulder rotation using a kirigami-based shoulder patch.

Internal and external rotation of the shoulder is often challenging to quantify in the clinic. Existing technologies, such as motion capture, can be expensive or require significant time to setup, collect data, and process and analyze the data. Other methods may rely on surveys or analog tools, which are subject to interpretation.

Soil health improvements under cover crops are associated with enhanced soil content of cytokinins.

Cytokinins (CKs) are phytohormones produced by plants and other soil life. including bacteria, fungi, insects, and earthworms. These organisms can release CKs to the soil, which may have positive implications for soil health and plant growth.

XeF gas assisted focused electron beam induced etching of niobium thin films: towards direct write editing of niobium superconducting devices.

In this work, we explore focused electron beam induced etching (FEBIE) of niobium thin films with the XeF precursor as a route to edit, on-the-fly, superconducting devices. We report the effect of XeF pressure, electron beam current, beam energy, and dwell time on the Nb etch rate. To understand the mass transport and reaction rate limiting mechanisms, we compare the relative electron and XeF gas flux and reveal the process is reaction rate limited at low current/short dwell times, but shifts to mass transport limited regimes as both are increased.

Assessment of fuzzy logic to enhance species distribution modelling of two cryptic wood boring beetle species in Australia.

Fuzzy logic presents a promising approach for Species Distribution Modelling by generating a value that can be used for comparative purposes termed 'environmental favourability'. In contrast to 'presence probability', 'environmental favourability' remains robust regardless of species prevalence. This characteristic facilitates effective comparisons across species with varying levels of prevalence.

The biosynthesis and impacts of cytokinins on growth of the oyster mushroom, .

While a lot is known about cytokinins (CKs) and their actions at the molecular and cellular levels in plants, much less is known about the function of CKs in other kingdoms such as fungi. CKs have been detected in a wide range of fungal species where they play roles ranging from enhancing the virulence of phytopathogens to fortifying plant growth when secreted from fungal symbionts. However, the role of CKs where they concern fungal physiology, apart from plant associations, remains largely uncharacterized.
