Composite textile materials, created from a blend of different fibers, have long been used to engineer the properties and performance of fabrics to combine comfort with functionality, such as to create materials with differing optical properties. Some changes to the optical properties of materials in the infrared are subtle and difficult to measure. We present a measurement technique, experimental apparatus, and associated data analysis procedure for detecting small changes in the emissivity of fabrics in the mid-infrared wavelength range (7.5-14 µm). Using this technique, we demonstrate that the emissivity of polyester fabric can be engineered controllably via the inclusion of ceramic microparticles within the fabric fibers.

6PPD-quinone (6PPD-Q) as a derivative of the rubber antioxidant N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (6PPD), is attracting intensive attention due to the significant hazard to ecosystems. However, the effective management of this type of contaminant has been scarcely reported. Hydrangea-like hollow O, Cl-codoped graphite-phase carbon nitride microspheres (HHCN), featuring open pores were readily prepared by molecular self-assembly and utilized to address 6PPD-Q in an aqueous system for the first time.

Osteoarthritis (OA) has been the most common arthritis affecting public health all over the world. Previous experimental research reported that increased low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, along with decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol may be associated with increased ectopic bone formation and possible knee OA, while clinical evidence is absent. This study aimed to investigate the association between blood high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and OA.

Decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) bioinks hold significant potential in the 3D bioprinting of tissue-engineered constructs (TECs). While 3D bioprinting allows for the creation of custom-designed TECs, the development of bioinks based solely on dAM, without the inclusion of supporting agents or chemical modifications, remains underexplored. In this study, we present the concentration-dependent printability and rheological properties of dAM bioinks, along with an analysis of their in vitro cellular responses.

The role of artificial intelligence (AI) in dentistry is becoming increasingly significant, particularly in diagnosis and treatment planning. This study aimed to assess the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and precision of AI-driven software in analyzing dental panoramic radiographs (DPRs) in patients with permanent dentition. Out of 638 DPRs, 600 fulfilled the inclusion criteria.

CO separation is an important environmental method mainly used in reducing CO emissions to mitigate anthropogenic climate change. The use of mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) arrives as a possible answer, combining the high selectivity of inorganic membranes with high permeability of organic membranes. However, the combination of these materials is challenging due to their opposing nature, leading to poor interactions between polymeric matrix and inorganic fillers.
