Hierarchical Nanocellulose Photonic Design for Synergistic Colored Radiative Cooling.
ACS Nano
January 2025
State Key Laboratory of Polymer Materials Engineering, Polymer Research Institute of Sichuan University, Chengdu 610065, China.
Daytime radiative cooling (DRC) materials offer a sustainable, pollution-free passive cooling solution. Traditional DRC materials are usually white to maximize solar reflectance, but applications like textiles and buildings need more aesthetic options. Unfortunately, colorizing DRC materials often reduce cooling efficiency due to colorant sunlight absorption.

PLoS One
January 2025
Volta Regional Health Directorate, Ghana Health Service, Ho, Volta Region, Ghana.
Background: Hepatitis B and C viral (HBV and HCV) infections are endemic in Ghana. Also, the National Policy on Viral Hepatitis stipulates that there is unreliable data, limited knowledge, and a deficiency in research on viral hepatitis, especially among some high-risk workers in the eastern part of the country. This study therefore assessed the knowledge level and occupational practices of street beauticians and barbers in the transmission of HBV and HCV in the Volta Region of Ghana.

Noise Health
January 2025
K M Shah Dental College and Hospital, Sumandeep Vidyapeeth deemed to be University, Waghodia, Vadodara - 391760, India.
Background: Noise sources in paediatric dental offices include machinery and children's cries and screams. Although the presence of occupational noise-induced hearing loss (ONIHL) among dental operators is established, preventive measures such as ear protection devices (EPDs) are not frequently employed as prophylactic intervention. The primary aim of this study was to quantitatively assess the noise levels in paediatric dental clinics and to qualitatively evaluate the operators' perception of noise with and without the use of EPDs.

Department of Anthropology, University of Akron, Akron, Ohio, United States of America.
In the Iron Age, the Neo-Assyrian empire (c. 900-600 BC) conquered territory across southwest Asia and established regional capitals along its borders to secure its gains. Governors at these centers oversaw resource extraction and craft production for shipment to the imperial heartland in modern-day northern Iraq.

Antibiotics (Basel)
December 2024
School of Fashion and Textiles, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong SAR, China.
: Standard test methods for evaluating the antibacterial performance of plastic (non-porous) and textile (porous) materials are accurate and reliable, but completing a standard assessment generally requires at least several days to a week. Well-trained and experienced technicians are also required to conduct the standard tests consistently and analyse the samples and test results systemically. These costs are often not favourable for the performance assurance of antimicrobial products in industrial production, nor for meeting the fast-return demands in research and development of antimicrobial materials nowadays.
