Influence of Implantable Hearing Aids and Neuroprosthesison Music Perception by Torsten Rahne, Lars Böhme, Gerrit Götze

“…As hearing loss interferes with the perception and enjoyment of music, we approach the individual timbre discrimination skills in individuals with severe to profound hearing loss using a cochlear implant (CI) and normal hearing individuals using a bone-anchored hearing aid (Baha). With a recent developed behavioral test relying on synthetically sounds forming a spectral continuum, the timbre difference was changed adaptively to measure the individual just noticeable difference (JND) in a forced-choice paradigm. …”

Achilles Rupture Repair: Modified Gift-Box With a Proximal Myotendinous Backup Fixation Technique by Nicholas D. Cominos, B.S., Joseph S. Tramer, M.D., Andrew J. Peace, M.D., Matthew A. Zaborowicz, M.D., Erik B. Eller, M.D., Lafi S. Khalil, M.D.

“…This technical note describes a technique that combines a modified gift-box primary repair with backup fixation using calcaneal anchors. This technique is performed with a small, medially based incision that reduces wound and nerve complications, while promoting end-to-end tendon healing by reducing tension across the repair site through the calcaneal backup fixation.…”

Tat-fimbriae (“tafi”): An unusual type of haloarchaeal surface structure depending on the twin-arginine translocation pathway by Anna V. Galeva, Dahe Zhao, Alexey S. Syutkin, Marina Yu Topilina, Sergei Yu Shchyogolev, Elena Yu Pavlova, Olga M. Selivanova, Igor I. Kireev, Alexey K. Surin, Gennady L. Burygin, Jingfang Liu, Hua Xiang, Mikhail G. Pyatibratov

“…Based on protein structure prediction (including AlphaFold 3), tafi exhibits a linear structure: TafC at the tip, TafE acting as an adapter, TafA forming the core filament, and they link the fourth subunit TafF, anchoring tafi to the cell wall. To our knowledge, this is the first case that the Tat-pathway has been linked to the secretion of protein subunits forming prokaryotic filamentous structures.…”

Coupling Cu2O clusters and imine-linked COFs on microfiltration membranes for fast and robust water sterilization by Shijia Luo, Jinglin Gao, Congcong Yin, Yanqiu Lu, Yong Wang

“…The deposited TbPa, generating uniformly distributed reduction sites under illumination, facilitates the uniform formation of Cu2O clusters. Furthermore, these anchored Cu2O clusters significantly optimize electron transport within the ultra-thin layer of TbPa, thereby enhancing the performance of the membrane in generating reactive oxygen species (ROS). …”

Failure Mechanism and Mechanical Properties of a Retard-Bonded Prestressed Concrete Girder While Curing by Wei-ning Sui, Zi-yi Wang, Zhong-hua Zhao, Zhan-fei Wang

“…The measurements include the following: the retard-bonded agent ages versus the load-carrying capacity of the girder, the deflection of girder, the strain distribution at key cross sections through the girder, the pressure at PT tensile and anchoring ends, crack distribution, and so on. The experimental results indicate that when stretching the PT within proper tensile period, the retarder curing ages have less impact on the cracking load and a greater impact on the ultimate bending strength; the ultimate bending strength of the RB-type PC girder increased with increased retarder curing. …”
