This study investigates the effect of water saturation in a two-layer fluidization behavior of an overlying dry sand bed. Building on prior work showing that moisture inhibits fluidization in granular media, the authors address an underexplored configuration involving layered dry and wet sand. The experiments demonstrate that even minimal water saturation in the sub-layer prevents uniform fluidization of the dry upper layer, leading to the conclusion that two-layer fluidized beds with moisture are not viable under the conditions tested.

The authors studied the impact of menstrual costs on the gender wage gap.

Pathogenic bacteria cause major economic losses in agriculture, and widespread antibiotic use has led to increasing resistance. This study tested whether a low-cost DIY method could produce antibacterial colloidal silver effective against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive plant pathogens.

Here the authors evaluate the relationship between state-level abortion policies and maternal mortality across the United States from 2018 to 2021. Their findings reveal that states with restrictive abortion laws consistently experienced higher maternal mortality ratios than those with protective policies, culminating in a 72% increase in deaths within restrictive states by the end of the study period.

The authors looked at the ability subjects to rotation a 4D cube and how the ability to practice cube rotation impact their ability to understand 4D space.
