Studying photoluminescence (PL) is essential for understanding and engineering light-emitting nanomaterials. Heterogeneous samples, such as thin films and microstructures, require characterization of the spatial distribution of PL intensity, spectra, lifetimes, and photon correlations at the microscale under variable temperatures. Here we describe a cryo-optical setup for micro-PL imaging, sp
Pretrained language models are integral part of AI applications, but their high computational cost for training limits accessibility. Initiatives such as Bloom and StarCoder aim to democratize access to pretrained models for collaborative community development. Despite these efforts, such models encounter challenges such as limited multilingual capabilities, risks of catastrophic forgetting during
PURPOSE: To develop Mexico's first methodologically rigorous clinical practice guideline for the management of adult overweight and obesity. The target audiences are interdisciplinary healthcare professionals across healthcare systems who are the first point of contact for patients with obesity in Mexico, patients, and health system decision makers.RECENT FINDINGS: A review of recent international
Electronics repair is a core component of a circular economy, yet the many social, technical, and financial barriers limit the widespread adoption of repair practices along the value chain. The high complexity of electronics, reinforced by product design choices, and a perpetuating culture of consumption has normalised replacement when a fault occurs. Similarly, a lack of technical knowledge, unce
Metal oxide nanoparticles are widely used in catalysis, photovoltaics, and gas sensing, where surface structure and oxidation state strongly influence performance. This work investigates how carrier gas composition, combined with in-flight heating, can be used to control the surface properties of metal oxide nanoparticles generated via the gas-phase method, spark ablation. Sn, Zn, and Al nanoparti
Osteoarthritis (OA) is an age-related disease of the joint in which the tissues degenerate and the function of the joint is disrupted. Key load-bearing tissues that break down as part of knee osteoarthritis include the articular cartilage and the meniscus. These tissues are complex cartilaginous tissues, consisting of around 70% water confined in a network of collagens and proteoglycans. During OA
Heavy-duty transport is one of the major contributors to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, with internal combustion engines (ICEs) expected to remain an important propulsion technology in long-haul applications during the transition to sustainable transport. The use of renewable gaseous fuels such as biogas and hydrogen offers a promising pathway to significantly reduce the climate impact of
The ability to generate and control movement is essential for human interactions and overall well-being. Neuromuscular impairment caused by neurological injuries and diseases, such as stroke or limb amputation, severely limits the ability of affected individuals to interact with the surrounding environment, necessitating advanced strategies for rehabilitation and restoration of motor function. Vol
Although political governance guides education and research, there are options for researchers, educators and curators to act in the spirit of academic freedom. The deontological ethical guidelines stabilize the archaeological establishment no matter what kind of work. The utilitarian dimensions within archaeological research and higher education open up for critical thinking.Twisting and turning,
We introduce a novel method for extracting a fragmentation model directly from experimental data without requiring an explicit parametric form, called Histories and Observables for Monte-Carlo Event Reweighting (HOMER), consisting of three steps: the training of a classifier between simulation and data, the inference of single fragmentation weights, and the calculation of the weight for the full h
Losses and damages from climate change are not just a future risk but already a present reality, and “Loss and Damage” (L&D) as a policy domain has been formalised under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), alongside mitigation and adaptation. While climate services currently provide strong support for adaptation and disaster recovery, here we propose that an exp
The revised Payment Services Directive (PSD2) is reshaping traditional banking by requiring banks to grant licensed third-party providers (TPPs) access to customer data. This paper explores PSD2’s impact on Fintech market entry, assessing both opportunities and ongoing structural barriers. Through a qualitative investigation, it identifies key barriers such as API standardization gaps, data access
This paper proposes an examination of the intersections of materiality, acoustics, and musical performance practice through the prism of instruments of the tuba family.[*] Investigation into the symbiotic relationship between instrumental evolution and performance practice is a crucial facet of any study of timbre and orchestration. The development of musical objects to produce the sound colors de
Människors nyfikenhet och drivkraft att förstå och mäta vår värld har lett till många vetenskapliga framsteg. Vårt ständiga sökande efter kunskap har hjälpt oss att bland annat förhindra sjukdomar, förbättra skördar och förstå de ekosystem vi lever i. Dock varierar förutsättningar och utmaningar för forskning runt om i världen, och i många forskningsmiljöer saknas det tillgång till avancerad labor
Metal-assisted chemical etching (MACE) is a cheap and scalable method that is commonly used to obtain silicon nano- or microwires but lacks spatial control. Herein, we present a synthesis method for producing vertical and highly periodic silicon microwires, using displacement Talbot lithography before wet etching with MACE. The functionalized periodic silicon microwires show 65% higher PEC perform
Finite Element (FE) model updating is crucial for identifying key parameters in structural design and improving predictive accuracy. Despite extensive research on advanced FE procedures approved for user applications, persistent disparities remain in real-world scenarios, especially for complex materials like wood. Capturing accurate mechanical characteristics with traditional models poses challen
