1. TAKE CARE: MINERALIZATION, HYDROCHEMISTRY AND THE ENVIRONMENTS OF GREEK THERMALISM IN THE NINETEENTH AND TWENTIETH CENTURIES. 

   Xynogala, Lydia (2024)

   The scientific analysis of mineral springs, rocks, and soil in Greece in the late nineteenth century led to a new understanding of the country’s landscape and resources: its airs, waters, and places. In a process of conceptual mineralization, the terrain was documented as a broad chemical network with healing properties. Doctors, chemists, and geologists constructed knowledge through fieldwork, laboratory studies, and treatises. From ...

2. Fabrication and characterization of sodium alginate-silicon nitride-PVA composite biomaterials with damping properties 

   Du X.; Zhou Y.; Schümperlin D.; et al. (2024)

   Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials

   Silicon nitride is utilized clinically as a bioceramic for spinal fusion cages, owing to its high strength, osteoconductivity, and antibacterial effects. Nevertheless, silicon nitride exhibits suboptimal damping properties, a critical factor in mitigating traumatic bone injuries and fractures. In fact, there is a scarcity of spinal implants that simultaneously demonstrate proficient damping performance and support osteogenesis. In our ...

3. Subcostal bilateral internal thoracic artery harvesting with the da Vinci Single Port system: an experimental feasibility study 

   Stein H.; Falk V.; Zacharias J.; et al. (2024)

   Interdisciplinary Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery

   We evaluated the feasibility of harvesting bilateral internal thoracic arteries with the da Vinci Single Port system (SP) through a single left-sided subcostal incision. Complete bilateral mobilization with sufficiently long conduits for multivessel grafting was possible in 2 human cadavers and 2 live porcine. Creating the subcostal access and docking the SP system took between 14 and 21 min and the total harvest time ranged from 65 to ...

4. Does subjective wellbeing modify travel behaviour changes among older people in response to a new metro line? 

   Du Y.; Sun G.; Heinen E. (2024)

   Journal of Transport Geography

   This research aims to estimate how subjective wellbeing at baseline would affect the changes in travel behaviour among older people due to a new public transport infrastructure. Cross-sectional studies have begun to establish the connection between subjective wellbeing and travel behaviour, indicating that a high level of wellbeing can lead to beneficial outcomes such as active mode choice, frequent transport use, and social engagement. ...
