Correlates of Inconsistent Refusal of Unprotected Sex among Armenian Female Sex Workers by Karine Markosyan, Delia L. Lang, Ralph J. DiClemente

“…One hundred and eighteen street-based FSWs between the ages of 20 and 52 completed a questionnaire assessing FSWs’ demographic, psychosocial, and behavioral characteristics. A total of 52.5% (n=62) of FSWs reported inconsistent refusal of unprotected sex with clients in the past 3 months. …”

A framework for handweaving robotic textiles with liquid crystal elastomer fibers by Sarah Nicita, James C. Weaver, Hiroshi Ishii, Jack Forman

“…To this end, liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) are a promising candidate for enabling these reversible actuation behaviors in fabric-based constructs. Drawing on traditional textile manufacturing techniques and through a detailed exploration of the vast woven textile design space, we have demonstrated programmable and reversible curling, puffing, and in-plane shrinkage behaviors by embedding the functionality of LCE fibers into single and multi-layered woven structures. …”

High-order interactions distort the functional landscape of microbial consortia. by Alicia Sanchez-Gorostiaga, Djordje Bajić, Melisa L Osborne, Juan F Poyatos, Alvaro Sanchez

“…We explain the mechanistic basis of these findings and propose a quantitative framework that allows us to separate the effect of behavioral and population dynamics interactions. Our results suggest that the functional robustness of a consortium to pairwise and higher-order interactions critically affects our ability to predict and bottom-up engineer ecosystem function in complex communities.…”
