Anthropometric test devices (ATDs) such as the Hybrid III dummy have been widely used in automotive crash tests to evaluate the risks of injury at different body regions. In recent years, researchers have started using automotive ATDs to study the high-speed vertical loading response caused by underbody blast impacts. This study analyzed the Hybrid III dummy responses to short-duration, large magnitude vertical accelerations in a laboratory setup. Two unique test conditions were investigated using a horizontal sled system to simulate underbody blast loading conditions. The biomechanical responses in terms of pelvis acceleration, chest acceleration, lumbar spine force, head accelerations, and neck forces were measured. Subsequently, a series of finite element (FE) analyses were performed to simulate the physical tests. The correlation between the Hybrid III test and numerical model was evaluated using the correlation and analysis (cora) version 3.6.1. The score for the Wayne State University (WSU) FE model was 0.878 and 0.790 for loading conditions 1 and 2, respectively, in which 1.0 indicated a perfect correlation between the experiment and the simulated response. With repetitive vertical impacts, the Hybrid III dummy pelvis showed a significant increase in peak acceleration accompanied by a rupture of the pelvis foam and flesh. The revised WSU Hybrid III model indicated high stress concentrations at the same location, providing a possible explanation for the material failure in actual Hybrid III tests.

Sheath blight, caused by AG1 IA, is a challenging disease of rice worldwide. In the current study, nine isolates, within the anastomosis group AG-1 IA, were isolated, characterized based on their macroscopic and microscopic features, as well as their ability to produce cell wall degrading enzymes (CWDEs), and further molecularly identified via ITS sequencing. Although all isolates were pathogenic and produced typical sheath blight symptoms the susceptible rice cultivar, Sakha 101, AG1 IA -isolate SHBP9 was the most aggressive isolate.

Scintillators that convert ionizing radiation into low-energy photons are essential for medical diagnostics and industrial inspections. Despite advances in X-ray scintillators, challenges remain in achieving high efficiency, environmental compatibility, stability, and flexibility. Here, we present experimental investigations of a new type of europium(III)-based hybrid ternary complex scintillators for improved X-ray detection and imaging.

Background: Patients with multiple myeloma without high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities are classified as having standard-risk MM (SRMM), and data focusing on their outcomes after autologous stem-cell transplantation (autoHCT) are limited.
Objective: To evaluate survival outcomes for patients with SRMM receiving autoHCT, and to elucidate factors that impact these outcomes.
Study Design: Single-center retrospective analysis that included consecutive MM patients who received upfront autoHCT between 2013-2021, had available cytogenetic information and had no high-risk chromosomal abnormalities on fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), defined as t(4;14), t(14;16), del(17p) or 1q21 gain or amplification.

Silicon photonics is a rapidly developing technology that promises to revolutionize the way we communicate, compute and sense the world. However, the lack of highly scalable, native complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-integrated light sources is one of the main factors hampering its widespread adoption. Despite considerable progress in hybrid and heterogeneous integration of III-V light sources on silicon, monolithic integration by direct epitaxy of III-V materials remains the pinnacle of cost-effective on-chip light sources.

Article Synopsis
- Gastrointestinal (GI) barrier dysfunction is a critical early indicator of multiple complex diseases, but current testing methods for saccharide molecules used to assess this function are expensive and time-consuming.
- A new one-component system utilizing a naphthyl-pyridine core and boronic acid receptor has been developed for the early detection of saccharide biomarkers like lactulose, which indicates GI barrier issues.
- The innovative design incorporates a scalable 96-well format with gold nanoparticles and combines plasmonics and fluorescence for sensitive lactulose quantification, aiming to create an affordable and portable diagnostic tool for routine GI permeability testing.
