Study2 replicated the experimental design of Study 1 to examine the effect of delight as a mediator in a retailer context and found significant indirect effects of delight when fine print is enforced/unenforced.

4D printing represents one of the most advanced fabrication techniques for prospective applications in tissue engineering, biomedical devices, and soft robotics, among others. In this study, a novel multiresponsive architecture is developed through stereolithography-based 4D printing, where a universal concept of stress-induced shape transformation is applied to achieve the 4D reprogramming. The light-induced graded internal stress followed by a subsequent solvent-induced relaxation, driving an autonomous and reversible change of the programmed configuration after printing, is employed and investigated in depth and details. Moreover, the fabricated construct possesses shape memory property, offering a characteristic of multiple shape change. Using this novel multiple responsive 4D technique, a proof-of-concept smart nerve guidance conduit is demonstrated on a graphene hybrid 4D construct providing outstanding multifunctional characteristics for nerve regeneration including physical guidance, chemical cues, dynamic self-entubulation, and seamless integration. By employing this fabrication technique, creating multiresponsive smart architectures, as well as demonstrating application potential, this work paves the way for truly initiation of 4D printing in various high-value research fields.

The ABP group has got a new chief editor and publisher, Atideb Sarkar. This is the formal handing over of the baton to the next generation of the Sarkar family that owns the ABP group, which is celebrating its centenary year.
Asked how he thought this decision could impact the group, Dipankar Das Purkayastha, who served in the company for about four decades and retired in April as managing director and chief executive officer, refused to comment.
Till 2016, the two brothers worked in coordination very well without one interfering in the role of the other. Aveek looked after the editorial issues and enjoyed his involvement in the making of the product: planning coverage and page layouts, choosing photographs, and giving headlines, at least those on the front page. Arup looked after the finances and management, including editorial of some magazines. After Aveek stepped down, Arup decided to entrust professionals in the role of editors of Anandabazar and the Telegraph.
It was in 2016 that Anandabazar, for the first time since 1959, got an editor in Anirban Chattopadhyay who was not part of the Sarkar family. Chattopadhyay resigned in 2020 to pursue personal interests. The current editor is Ishani Datta Ray, also outside the family. In 2016, the Telegraph too got another editor outside the family after M J Akbar when R Rajagopal, who continues till date, replaced Aveek.
Also, in 2017, the group that had so long enjoyed the reputation of being a benevolent employer undertook a downsizing initiative and retrenched at least 300 people from various print publication related jobs.
Veteran journalist Jayanta Ghosal, who worked at Anandabazar Patrika for about two decades before retiring as its editor, Delhi, said that in his personal understanding, the decision to formally hand over the baton was an appropriate one.

Professor Anwesha Sarkar talks to John Darvall in the BBC Raio Bristol on 21st April 2022 about whether or not we all have unique tongue prints. She mentioned her work at University of Leeds on characterization of human tongue prints and the differences in height, diameter and distribution of filiform and fungiform papillae in the tongue of individuals (work published in ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces). She also mentioned about her ongoing collaboration with the School of Informatics in the University of Edinburgh that aims to find a definitive answer to the question of whether or not tongue prints can be used as unique identifiers using artificial intelligence. Her interview starts at approximately 3 hours 44 minutes 43 seconds in, check out here:
UK scientists led by theUniversity of Leeds in collaboration with the University of Edinburgh havereplicated the highly sophisticated surface design of a human tongue anddemonstrated that their printed synthetic silicone structure mimics thetopology, elasticity and wettability of the tongues surface.
Particularly, since theonset of the COVID-19 pandemic, social distancing has posed significantchallenges to carry out such sensory trials and consumer tests. A biomimetictongue will be immensely helpful to increase development productivity andreducing manufacturers reliance on human trials in the early stages.
Studylead author, Dr Efren Andablo-Reyes conducted this research while apostdoctoral fellow in the School of Food Science and Nutrition at Leeds. He said: Recreating the surface of anaverage human tongue comes with unique architectural challenges. Hundreds ofsmall bud-like structures called papilla give the tongue its characteristicrough texture that in combination to the soft nature of the tissue create acomplicated landscape from a mechanical perspective.
"Both kinds of papillaeplay a critical role in providing the right mechanical friction to aid food processingin the mouth with the adequate amount saliva, providing pleasurable mouthfeelperception and proper lubrication for swallowing.
Thestudy that brought together unique expertise in food colloid science, softmatter physics, dentistry, mechanical engineering and computer science ispublished today in the journal ACSApplied Materials & Interfaces.
Theteam took silicone impressions of tongue surfaces from fifteen adults. Theimpressions were 3D optically scanned to map papillae dimensions, density andthe average roughness of the tongues. The texture of a human tongue was foundto resemble a random layout.
Theteam used computer simulations and mathematical modelling to create a3D-printed artificial surface to function as a mould containing wells with the shapeand dimensions of the different papillae randomly distributed across thesurface with right density. This was replica-moulded against elastomers of optimisedsoftness and wettability.
