Abstract Recently, 3D porous graphene–polymer composite-based piezoresistive sensors have gained significant traction in the field of flexible electronics owing to their ultralightweight nature, high compressability, robustness, and excellent electromechanical properties. In this work, we present an improved facile recipe for developing repeatable, reliable, linear graphene–polydimethylsiloxane...

A feeding experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of fermented Terminalia catappa fruit meal (FTCM) with Aspergillus niger as replacement for maize on broiler growth performance, nutrient digestibility, and serum biochemical constituents. Dietary maize was replaced by FTCM at 0, 20, 40, 60, or 80%. One hundred and eighty one-day-old Shaver broiler chicks were randomly allocated to th...

OBJECTIVE The Modified Experiences in Close Relationships (ECR-M36) scale was developed for medically ill, older individuals in 2008 (Toronto, Canada, department of psychosocial oncology and palliative care, Princess Margaret Hospital). The scale has displayed satisfactory reliability and validity. This study aimed to test the reliability and validity of the Korean version of Modified Experienc...

At its foundation, attachment theory (AT) (Bowlby, 1969) is a theory of developmental psychology that uses evolutionary and ethological frameworks to describe how the caregiver*–child relationship emerges and how it influences subsequent social, emotional, and cognitive development. And while AT emerged out of observations of child–caregiver dynamics, it was quickly and readily generalised to a...

Married couples (N = 172) were observed as newlyweds and observed again 1 year later while engaging in 2 problem-solving and 2 personal support discussions. Microanalytic coding of these conversations was used to examine associations between problem-solving and social support behaviors for 1 year and their relative contributions to 10-year trajectories of self-reported relationship satisfaction...

History The patient denies any recent trauma to his left knee but states that approximately 1 year ago he completed a prolonged course of physical therapy for symptoms of medialsided knee pain with activity-related swelling. The symptoms persisted following therapy, and he underwent arthroscopic surgery. During the procedure, a small portion of his medial meniscus was removed, and a damaged are...

What are the factors that influence everyday attributions of cause and blame? The current studies focus on sequences of events that lead to adverse outcomes, and examine people's cause and blame ratings for key events in these sequences. Experiment 1 manipulated the intentional status of candidate causes and their location in a causal chain. Participants rated intentional actions as more causal...

Dry matter intake (DMI) is related to dietary NDF content (Mertens, 1987) and in vitro NDF digestibility (NDFD, % of NDF; Oba and Allen, 1999). The NRC (2001) summative energy equation is based on fiber digestibility calculated using lignin. Whole-plant lignin content was found to have a strong negative relationship with in-vitro NDFD within comparisons of brown midrib (bm3) hybrids to isogenic...

INTRODUCTION Surgical excision of the ununited ossicles has been suggested for unresolved sequelae of Osgood-Schlatter disease in adults resistant to conservative measures. We report a case where arthroscopy was used to excise the ossicles. A bird eye view from the superolateral portal was helpful in the arthroscopic procedure for excision of the deep low lesion. CASE SERIES A 32-year-old, ma...
