An external flow approach is used to predict the viscous drag due to oscillating flow in an air-filled stack of fixed identical rigid spheres. Analytical expressions for dynamic and direct current (dc) permeability, high-frequency limit of tortuosity, and the characteristic viscous dimension are derived using a cell model with an adjustable cell radius which allows for hydrodynamic interactions between the spherical particles. The resulting theory requires knowledge of two fixed parameters: the volume porosity and the particle radius. The theory also requires a value for the cell radius. Use of the cell radius corresponding to that of the sphere circumscribing a unit cell of a cubic lattice arrangement is proposed. This is found to enable good agreement between predictions of the new theory and both published data and numerical results for simple cubic and random spherical packings.

Fe/Mn-based metal oxides have attracted considerable attention as cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries owing to their low cost and high specific capacity. However, the relatively large ionic radius of the sodium ion (1.02 Å) results in inefficient diffusion kinetics, resulting in reduced battery performance.

Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2, also known as ERBB2) signaling promotes cell growth and differentiation, and is overexpressed in several tumor types, including breast, gastric and colorectal cancer. HER2-targeted therapies have shown clinical activity against these tumor types, resulting in regulatory approvals. However, the efficacy of HER2 therapies in tumors with HER2 mutations has not been widely investigated.

Classic Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL) histologically consists of Hodgkin Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells and the tumor microenvironment (TME), but the relationship between TME characteristics and clinical features of CHL remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the effects of the TME structure on the outcomes of patients with CHL. We performed a high-throughput analysis of HRS cells and their topological relationship with the reactive immune cells in the TME.

Purpose: Severely myopic eyes have been associated with high posterior capsule opacification (PCO) incidence. Although it has been reported that myopic eyes have weaker or more delayed capsule adhesion than emmetropic eyes, it is unclear whether/how dioptric power and posterior curvature of IOLs affect IOLs' affinity for the posterior lens capsule (PLC) and their PCO potential.

Methods: To investigate this, acrylic foldable IOLs with increasing dioptric power of 6.

The 90-year-old Hume-Rothery rule was adapted to design an outstanding bifunctional tetra-metallic alloy electrocatalyst for water electrolysis. Following the radius mismatch principles, Fe (131 pm) and Ni (124 pm) are selectively incorporated at the Pd (139 pm) site of MoPd nanosheets. Analogously, Cu (132 pm) alloys with only Pd, while Ag (145 pm) alloys with both Pd and Mo (154 pm).
