Article demonstrating a technique utilizing acoustic metasurfaces (AMSes) with high reflective characteristics using relatively lightweight materials for noise reduction without any change in mechanical strength or weight of the tire. The proposed design can significantly reduce the noise arising from tire–pavement interaction over a broadband of acoustic frequencies under 1000 Hz and over a wide range of vehicle speeds using a negative effective dynamic mass density approach.

This article builds on a previous study [Kashefolgheta et al., J. Chem. Theory. Comput., 2020, 16, 7556–7580] by extending the comparison to five additional force fields, GROMOS-54A7, GROMOS-ATB, OPLS-LBCC, AMBER-GAFF2, and OpenFF.

This article provides an extended analysis of void shape by means of X-ray computed tomography (CT) applied to fused deposition modeling (FDM) samples. Furthermore, a relation between the tensile mechanical properties and digital void measurements is established. The results lead to the formulation of a novel criterion that predicts the mechanical behavior of AM components.

This article investigates the impact of nutrient intake on hydration biomarkers in cyclists before and after a 161 km ride, including one hour after a 650 mL water bolus consumed post-ride. Most predictor groups showed significant association with at least one hydration biomarker: (1) Glycemic Load + Carbohydrates + Sodium, (2) Protein + Fat + Zinc, (3) Magnesium + Calcium, (4) Pinitol, (5) Caffeine, (6) Fiber + Betaine, and (7) Water; potassium + three polyols, and mannitol + sorbitol showed no significant associations with any hydration biomarker. The authors conclude that in a real-life scenario, some nutrients may serve as mediators of body water, and urine-specific hydration biomarkers may be more responsive to nutrient intake than measures derived from plasma or body mass.

Article presents research where friction stir additive manufacturing technique was employed to fabricate AZ31B magnesium-hydroxyapatite composite. The study aims to evaluate effect of hydroxyapatite (HA, Ca₁₀(PO₄)₆OH₂), a ceramic similar to natural bone, into AZ31B Mg alloy matrix on biomineralization and biocompatibility.

This article presents dispersions of WS₂ and h-BN using cyclohexanone and terpineol as the solvent to subsequently print prototype capacitive nanodevices.

Article asserts that plastic packaging dominates the US grocery industry, which raises the question of whether consumers are purchasing food that is not wrapped in conventional plastic but environmentally friendly packaging. Through their study, the authors hope that their findings provide marketers with fresh insights into the characteristics of consumers willing to purchase grocery items packaged in environmentally friendly materials.

Article introducing a novel ultrasonic non-destructive and non-invasive elastography method demonstrated to evaluate the mechanical properties of fused deposition modeling 3D printed objects using two-dimensional dynamical elasticity mapping. Based on the recently investigated dynamic bulk modulus and effective density imaging technique, an angle-dependent dynamic shear modulus measurement was performed to extract the dynamic Young’s modulus distribution of the FDM structures. The elastographic image analysis demonstrated the presence of anisotropic dynamic shear modulus and dynamic Young’s modulus existing in the fused deposition modeling 3D printed objects. The non-destructive method also differentiated samples with high contrast property zones from that of low contrast property regions. The angle-dependent elasticity contrast behavior from the ultrasonic method was compared with conventional and static tensile tests characterization. A good correlation between the nondestructive technique and the tensile test measurements was observed.

Article asserts that the nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily includes phylogenetically related ligand-activated proteins, which play a key role in various cellular activities. The authors developed Nuclear Receptor Prediction Tool (NRPreTo), a two-level NR prediction tool with a unique training approach where in addition to the sequence-based features used by existing NR prediction tools, six additional feature groups depicting various physiochemical, structural, and evolutionary features of proteins were utilized.

This article's aim is to determine whether (a) the spatial use of domestic dogs increases with habitat destruction, and (b) domestic dogs and habitat destruction drive the spatial use of native carnivores in a heavily degraded agricultural landscape. Conclusions highlight that domestic dog occupancy was positively correlated with habitat loss and future conditions of increased fragmentation and habitat loss will likely increase the potential contact between domestic dogs and native carnivores.
