The "wellness picnic," an interactive hands-on learning activity, was developed to engage people in reflective conversations about their health behaviors and wellness journey. Participants used pictures, colors, and words to transform a paper plate into a symbolic representation of what wellness looked like to them. Within the wisdom of each participant's paper plate drawing, there emerged pathways for living well, creating a respectful place for sharing wellness understandings and cancer risk reduction activities.

High-entropy NASICON-Type LiAlTiZrSnTa(PO) with high electrochemical stability for lithium-ion batteries.

J Colloid Interface Sci

December 2024

Department of Materials Science and Engineering, National Tsing Hua University, Hsinchu 300044, Taiwan; High Entropy Materials Center, Hsinchu 300044, Taiwan. Electronic address:

LiAlTi (PO) (LATP) is a promising NASICON-type solid electrolyte for all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries (ASSLIBs) owing to its high ionic conductivity, low cost, and stability in ambient atmosphere. However, the electrochemical stability of LATP suffers upon contact with lithium metals, resulting in a reduction of Ti to Ti in its structure. This limitation necessitates interface modification processes, hindering its use in lithium-ion batteries.

Background: Severe metaphyseal comminution and sizable bone defect of the distal femur are high risks of fixation failure. To date, no exact magnitude of comminution and bone loss is determined as an indication for augmentation of fixation construct. The present study aimed to investigate the influence of metaphyseal gap width, working length, and screw distribution on the stability of the fixation construct.

Detection methods for carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in surface water and wastewater.

Sci Total Environ

January 2025

National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM), Bilthoven, the Netherlands; Department of Biotechnology, Technical University Delft, Delft, the Netherlands. Electronic address:

Water systems can act as an important reservoir for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which can pose public health risks during human contact. Carbapenem resistance is one of the most concerning resistances in P. aeruginosa making it a high-priority pathogen according to the World Health Organization (WHO), due to its ability to cause difficult-to-treat infections.

Investigation of a flat-type piezoelectric motor using in-plane vibrations.

Rev Sci Instrum

January 2025

School of Perceptual Science and Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai 200240, China.

This paper presents a flat-type piezoelectric motor utilizing in-plane vibration modes. Two piezoelectric ceramic plates in combination with a brass metal sheet were used to construct the stator. The superposition of two second order in-plane vibration modes can generate a traveling-wave inside the stator.

Layer-by-Layer (LbL) self-assembly encapsulation is a promising technology for the protection and delivery of lactic acid bacteria. However, laboratory-scale encapsulation is often time-consuming, involves intensive protocols tailored for small-scale operations, requires substantial amounts of energy and water, and results in a low yield of encapsulated biomass. Scaling-up this process to a bench-bioreactor scale is not simply a matter of increasing culture volume as different key parameters (not particularly relevant at lab scale) become critical, including biomass production, the number of polymer layers, and the biomass-to-polymer mass ratio.
