Soil health assessment using buried cotton underpants with the help of 1000 citizen scientists

S. Franz Bender, Diane Buerge-Weirich, Luca Bragazza, Eva Knop et autres

Societal Impact Statement Soil is a vital resource for life on Earth. Although many soils are degraded, societal awareness of soil‐related issues is limited. To highlight soil as a key resource and fascinating study system, we initiated a citizen science project together …

The Evolving Research Landscape of Stress Fracture Risk Factors in Athletes

Dharish Kalaisenthil, Pranay Gadikota, Omar Viswanath, Latha Ganti

Introduction: Stress fractures are repetitive overuse injuries in which loading exceeds the bone's threshold to repair damage, thus being prevalent among active people like athletes and soldiers. Methods: The present bibliometric analysis of 2,365 papers from the Web of Science Core Collection …

Relaxation spectrum of glass-forming alloys: Mechanical and microscopic insights

Z.R. Xu, Shaoyi Meng, Qi Hao, Yajuan Duan et autres

This work reviews recent findings on the dynamics of metallic glasses, focusing on the relationship between mechanical relaxation and microscopic dynamics, the latter explored by means of coherent x-ray scattering experiments. We first summarize the fundamental features of the mechanical relaxation spectrum …

Correction: Baumann et al. Moldavian Dragonhead Extract: A Natural Collagen-Booster to Target Skin Aging. OBM Geriatrics 2025; 9: 305

Julia Baumann, Eva Bönzli, Franziska Wandrey, Torsten Grothe

The complex process of skin aging results in noticeable changes, including decreased collagen content, reduced elasticity, and decreased hydration. Interventions to preserve or restore collagen, a key structural protein, may help counteract these signs. The concept of "beauty from within” through nutritional …

Effect of the polymer network on the diffusion of foreign particles in hydrogels

Yu. F. Zabashta, Yaroslav Lazarenko, A. N. Alekseev, L.Yu. Vergun et autres

In the present work, we introduce a physical model of foreign particle diffusion in polymer hydrogels that accounts for the network architecture of these systems. The model employs a classical diffusion theory framework in condensed media to derive a theoretical dependence of …

UVA Irradiation Promotes ROS-Mediated Formation of the Common Deletion in Mitochondrial DNA

Gabriele Fontana, Navnit K. Singh, Nadezhda Rotankova, Antonia Eichelberg et autres

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun causes adverse skin changes such as premature aging. UV-induced mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) alterations, including deletions, contribute to photoaging and cellular dysfunction. While the most frequent mtDNA rearrangement is the common deletion (CD), characterized by the loss …

A Systematic Approach to Tune the Rheological Behavior of Perovskite Quantum Dot Inks for Inkjet Printing Applications

M. Zimmermann, M. Hölzle, M. Oszajca, F. Krieg et autres

Modern displays utilize color conversion layers to convert blue backlight into colored sub-pixels. Perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) are a very efficient material for this conversion and are currently applied as one continuous film combined with a color filter layer. Inkjet printing could …

Energy-Space Gravity: Toward a Unified Entropic Framework for Gravitation and Quantum Geometry

Andrew P. Whittaker

We present a reformulation of gravity in which spacetime curvature emerges from entropy gradients in a generalized energy-space manifold, eliminating the need for fundamental time. Building on thermodynamic principles, we derive entropy-corrected Einstein field equations and modified geodesic motion from a covariant …

Revealing More Than Intended: On Metaphor Shifts, Clashes and Contradictions in Public Discourse

Maria Boghiu

Abstract: This paper applies the theoretical framework of analysis provided by the Cognitivist school and the concept of metaphorical shift (Shen and Balaban, 1999) on a corpus of public speeches and statements issued by local authorities (political and church leaders) and media …
