UNLABELLED: Novel antimicrobial agents are needed to combat antimicrobial resistance. This study tested novel pentafluorosulfanyl-containing triclocarban analogs for their potential antibacterial efficacy. Standard procedures were used to produce pentafluorosulfanyl-containing triclocarban analogs. Twenty new compounds were tested against seven Gra...
Crosslinked poly(ethylene oxide) (XLPEO) membranes are leading candidates for membrane post-combustion carbon capture, because of their high CO2/N2 selectivity and CO2 permeability. However, their crosslinked nature makes it difficult to process them into thin films through conventional coating techniques. In this study, interfacially initiated cha...

Subsurface porous rocks hold significant hydrogen (H2) storage potential to support an H2 -based energy future. Understanding H2 flow and trapping in subsurface rocks is crucial to reliably evaluate their storage efficiency. In this work, we perform cyclic H2 flow visualization experiments on a layered rock sample with varying pore and throat sizes...
Horticultural diseases caused by bacterial pathogens provide an obstacle to crop production globally. Management of the infection of kiwifruit by the Gram-negative phytopathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa) currently includes copper and antibiotics. However, the emergence of bacterial resistance and a changing regulatory landscape are ...
Freeze-thaw cycling is a critical issue in cold-climate engineering because these cycles impact the mechanical properties of soils due to the translocation of water and ice at temperatures near 0 °C. Reinforcement methods have been developed to decrease these adverse effects, including the use of polypropylene (PP) fibers. However, few macrostructu...
Introduction Loss of blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity is hypothesised to be one of the earliest microvascular signs of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Existing BBB integrity imaging methods involve contrast agents or ionising radiation, and pose limitations in terms of cost and logistics. Arterial spin labelling (ASL) perfusion MRI has been recently a...
Significance: Wounds of all types remain one of the most important, expensive, and common medical problems, for example, up to approximately two-thirds of the work time of community nurses is spent on wound management. Many wounds are treated by means of dressings. The materials used in a dressing, their microarchitecture, and how they are composed...
