Article Abstract
Background: Accurately determining fiber composition is essential for optimizing material properties across diverse applications in textiles, composites, packaging, and other bio-based materials. Fiber performance in textiles, composites, and bio-based materials depends upon their intricate composition. This review explores advanced analytical techniques for the comprehensive characterization of natural (cellulose-hemicellulose-lignin) and synthetic (polymeric) fibers. Natural fibers primarily consist of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, while synthetic fibers are formed by linking small monomer units, such as nylon, polyester, and acrylics.
Results: A variety of analytical methods are employed for fiber composition analysis, including microscopy, spectroscopy, chromatography, thermal analysis, and wet chemical methods. A multi-modal approach employing advanced techniques is essential for in-depth fiber analysis. Spectroscopic methods like Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) offer rapid, non-destructive determination of chemical functionalities. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) offers another efficient approach, particularly when integrated with chemometric techniques like Principal Component Regression (PCR) and Partial Least Squares (PLS) for precise quantification of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Additionally, thermal analysis methods such as Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), and Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) provide insights into thermal stability and mechanical characteristics of fibers.
Significance: This review emphasizes the importance of an integrated approach utilizing various analytical methods for comprehensive fiber characterization. While traditional wet chemical methods offer limited advantages, the combined use of advanced techniques provides a more holistic understanding of fiber properties. As technology evolves, this integrated approach is expected to shape the future of fiber analysis and its applications across diverse industries.

Warfarin is a widely used vitamin K antagonist (VKA) with known pleiotropic effects beyond anticoagulation. Preclinical and case-control evidence suggests that warfarin may affect hematopoiesis, but longitudinal human evidence is lacking. To explore this potential effect, we conducted a post-hoc analysis of participants in the Hokusai-VTE and ENGAGE AF-TIMI 48 trials, which randomized patients to warfarin or the direct oral anticoagulant edoxaban with routine laboratory testing at predefined follow-up visits.

Objective: To compare parenting stress between parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities (DDs) and to examine ASD's influence on parenting stress through mediation analysis.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 48 children with ASD (ASD group) and 77 with non-ASD DDs (non-ASD group), along with one of their parents, at the Gyeongsang National University Hospital between May 2021 and August 2024. All underwent developmental assessments and completed the Korean version of the Parenting Stress Index-4 and the Child Interactive Behavior Test (CIBT).

Groundwater overextraction presents persistent challenges due to strategic interdependence among decentralized users. While game-theoretic models have advanced the analysis of individual incentives and collective outcomes, most frameworks assume fully rational agents and neglect the role of cognitive and social factors. This study proposes a coupled model that integrates opinion dynamics with a differential game of groundwater extraction, capturing the interaction between institutional authority and evolving stakeholder preferences.

The stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway represents a promising target in cancer immunotherapy. However, the clinical translation of cyclic dinucleotide (CDN)-based STING agonists remains hindered by insufficient formation of functional CDN-STING complexes. This critical bottleneck arises from two interdependent barriers: inefficient cytosolic CDN delivery and tumor-specific STING silencing via DNA methyltransferase-mediated promoter hypermethylation.
