Article Synopsis
- - The study examined how different exterior designs of erosion control dams (ECDs) affect the physiological (heart rate) and psychological (mood) responses of 34 university students who viewed images of the dams.
- - While heart rates showed no significant difference between different ECD types, viewing the wood-attached ECD resulted in lower heart rates and a more positive mood, with increased vigor and decreased mood disturbances.
- - Overall, participants felt more positively about the ECDs, with no major negative perceptions noted, highlighting the need to prioritize stability in erosion control over aesthetic concerns.
In this study, a soft structure with its stiffness tunable by an external field is proposed. The proposed soft beam structure consists of a skin structure with channels filled with a magnetorheological fluid (MRF). Two specimens of the soft structure are fabricated by three-dimensional printing and fused deposition modeling.

Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to incomplete SCI using an NYU impactor to create a free drop contusion at the T9 level. The SCI rats were then classified into three groups; MSCs, NMSCs, and phosphate-buffered saline (PBS)-treated groups.
