Leading-edge erosion (LEE) of wind-turbine blades, driven primarily by rain erosion, particulate erosion, and environmental ageing, remains one of the most pervasive causes of performance loss and maintenance cost in offshore and onshore wind farms. Self-healing coatings, which autonomously or semi-autonomously restore barriers and mechanical function after damage, promise a paradigm shift in blade protection by combining imme...

Industrialized environments, despite benefits such as higher levels of formal education and lower rates of infections, can also have pernicious impacts upon brain atrophy. Partly for this reason, comparing age-related brain volume trajectories between industrialized and non-industrialized populations can help to suggest lifestyle correlates of brain health. The Tsimane, indigenous to the Bolivian Amazon, derive their subsisten...
