Utilizing Dynamic Liquid Crystal Elastomer Dressings to Enhance Early Dermal Wound Closure
1 Introduction Dermal wound healing is a complex, multistep physiologic process requiring coordinated cellular and molecular responses. Numerous tissue-specific and patient-specific factors influence both the rate of wound closure and the final healing outcome [1-3]. Among these, mechanical tension is an important determinant of wound healing dynamics and scar formation [4].
A Novel Application-Based Test for Rapid Screening of Olfactory Dysfunction
Key Points Question Can a 5-item, mobile application–based olfactory test reliably screen for olfactory dysfunction (OD)? Findings In this diagnostic study including 484 adult participants, a novel, self-administered olfactory screening tool achieved an area under the curve of 0.87, a sensitivity of 74%, and a specificity of 86% for detecting OD. Meaning These findings suggest that the novel test has potential as a rapid and reliable OD screening tool in patient care.
Annual-to-millennial fluctuations in the physical properties of crystal-rich magma storage zones - Communications Earth & Environment
Abstract Basaltic melts may variably disaggregate macrocrysts (large crystals) from crystal mushes during the assembly of magma bodies beneath ocean-island volcanoes. The entrained macrocrysts modulate the crystallinity, density, and rheology of magmas, parameters that control magma system architecture and eruptive dynamics. However, the timescales, drivers, and consequences of inconstant crystal mush incorporation into carrier melts require quantification.

Early Improved Functional Outcomes in Head and Neck Cancer Patients with Primary Tumor Detection
Original Report 2023 Triological Society Combined Sections Meeting, Coronado, CA; January 26–28, 2023. The authors have no funding, financial relationships, or conflicts of interest to disclose. Abstract Objectives We characterize functional outcomes in head and neck cancer of unknown primary (CUP) based on primary site identification.
How Lefebvre de Beauvray Read His Montesquieu
By Benjamin Bernard Out of the many changes in French society over the course of the eighteenth century that made the Revolution possible, the ideas of celebrated writers known as philosophes remain an important part of the story. Revolutionaries looked back to the likes of Voltaire, Rousseau, Diderot, and Montesquieu either to define political aims or to justify their actions post hoc.
Caldera resurgence during the 2018 eruption of Sierra Negra volcano, Galápagos Islands
Abstract Recent large basaltic eruptions began after only minor surface uplift and seismicity, and resulted in caldera subsidence. In contrast, some eruptions at Galápagos Island volcanoes are preceded by prolonged, large amplitude uplift and elevated seismicity. These systems also display long-term intra-caldera uplift, or resurgence. However, a scarcity of observations has obscured the mechanisms underpinning such behaviour.
Sentencing the Present: An Archive of a Crisis
This is the final compilation of contributions to the “Sentencing the Present” series. For previous seminars, see part one, part two, part three, part four, and part five. A sentence is protean: It can describe, question, or cry out. A sentence is critical: In passing judgment, it names wrongs, makes decisions, and declares publicly.

Should Universities Tap Endowments in Response to Crisis?
Should Universities Tap Endowments in Response to Crisis? As the coronavirus has sent many universities into budget crises, Benjamin Bernard asks whether or not endowments should become welcome shelters from the storm. Read Full Article »
Should universities tap endowments in response to the budget crises brought on by the pandemic? (opinion)
What is the purpose of a university endowment? It is a pressing question in the age of coronavirus, with universities -- even wealthy private ones with generous endowments -- facing massive budget shortfalls. There has been much discussion lately about tapping into such endowments’ unrestricted liquid funds during the crisis. Saving and investing now may seem the obvious path.
Toward A Different Solution: Édouard Louis, Émile Zola, and the Literary Accusation
ONE EVENING, years ago, before Benjamin had learned not to underestimate first-time authors, he met Édouard Louis at a Parisian cafe to discuss French graduate school programs. Rather than Benjamin’s preferred quincy, Louis opted for fruit juice, noting he’d need to revise his manuscript that night.
Bail-ins and bailouts: Incentives, connectivity, and systemic stability
Worried about the cost of public bailouts, governments have proposed bail-ins whereby banks contribute to rescuing their debtors. This column analyses the conditions under which bail-in strategies can be credibly implemented, showing that this heavily depends on the network structure. While earlier work has suggested that denser networks are socially preferred to more sparsely connected networks, the opposite holds in the presence of the government’s strategic intervention.
Juvenile magma recognition and eruptive dynamics inferred from the analysis of ash time series: The 2015 reawakening of Cotopaxi volcano
Forecasting future activity and performing hazard assessments during the reactivation of volcanoes remain great challenges for the volcanological community. On August 14, 2015 Cotopaxi volcano erupted for the first time in 73 years after approximately four months of precursory activity, which included an increase in seismicity, gas emissions, and minor ground deformation.
L'Ermitage
Démarrer le diaporama (1/6) Voici une adresse pas comme les autres à Saint-Cyr-Au-Mont d'Or non loin de la ville de Lyon. Cet établissement très tendance à l'allure résolument contemporaine porte le nom d'Ermitage en référence à un ermite qui habita le site jusqu'au milieu du XXème siècle. La décoration sobre et élégante joue le contraste et l’équilibre entre les objets chargés d’histoire et les technologies de pointes.
