Proof-of-concept testing of a mobile application-delivered mindfulness exercise for emotional eaters: RAIN delivered as a step-by-step image sequence

Author(s): Carrière K; Siemers N; Thapar S; Knäuper B;

Background: Over fifty percent of individuals with overweight and obesity are emotional eaters. Emotional eating can be theorized as a conditioned response to eat for reasons that are not associated with physiological hunger. We conducted this proof-of-concept study to gather evidence that a mobile app that delivers a common non-meditative mindfulness exe ...

Hyperelastic Modeling and Validation of Hybrid-Actuated Soft Robot with Pressure-Stiffening

Author(s): Roshanfar M; Taki S; Sayadi A; Cecere R; Dargahi J; Hooshiar A;

Soft robots have gained popularity, especially in intraluminal applications, because their soft bodies make them safer for surgical interventions than flexures with rigid backbones. This study investigates a pressure-regulating stiffness tendon-driven soft robot and provides a continuum mechanics model for it towards using that in adaptive stiffness appli ...

A historical perspective on porphyrin-based metal-organic frameworks and their applications

Author(s): Zhang X; Wasson MC; Shayan M; Berdichevsky EK; Ricardo-Noordberg J; Singh Z; Papazyan EK; Castro AJ; Marino P; Ajoyan Z; Chen Z; Islamoglu T; Howarth AJ; Liu Y; Majewski MB; Katz MJ; Mondloch JE; Farha OK;

Porphyrins are important molecules widely found in nature in the form of enzyme active sites and visible light absorption units. Recent interest in using these functional molecules as building blocks for the construction of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have rapidly increased due to the ease in ...
