Aluminum (Al), a commonly used reactive metals, is widely applied in reactive material systems. However, its relatively low reactivity restricts the energy release of systems. To improve the reactivity of aluminum, we in...

Abstract Quantum-mechanical simulations provide the most fundamental description of matter, yet their computational cost commonly limits applications to systems containing at most thousands of atoms. Here, we present an ...

Traditional hepatology conceptualizes liver cirrhosis as the linear accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM). However, the stagnation of fibrosis reversal and the persistent risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) despi...

In this work, the characteristics of a commercial sample of LaNi5 are compared to those of an experimental one obtained by mechanical alloying followed by low temperature annealing. The nominal composition of the experim...

In this work we address the classical statistical mechanical problem of calculating the residual entropy of ice models. The numerical work found in the literature is usually based on extrapolating to infinite-size result...

Cavity optomechanical systems enable interactions between light and mechanical resonators, providing a platform both for fundamental physics of macroscopic quantum systems and for practical applications of precision sens...

One-dimensional photonic crystal (1D-PhC) pillar cavities allow transducing mechanical pillar vibrations to the optical domain, thereby relaxing the requirements typically associated with mechanical motion detection. In ...

Today, CAD/CAM is increasingly gaining its importance in the field of mechanical design. However, these systems are not operated easily by those without proper computer programming skills. This paper aims to allow these ...

Abstract Backgrounds Nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary instruments are widely used in endodontics because of their flexibility and superelasticity. However, the cyclic fatigue resistance of ORODEKA and M3-L systems in curved...

Effective-medium approaches, such as the coherent potential approximation, are commonly used to describe the rigidity transition of disordered elastic networks. While successful in capturing the universal critical behavi...

ABSTRACT Cu–Sn alloy is a key raw material used in the preparation of Nb3Sn superconducting wires using the bronze method. The mechanical properties of this Cu–Sn alloy are directly responsible for determining the pr...

Abstract This study investigated the design and implementation of an adaptive front-lighting system (AFS) utilizing diffractive optical elements (DOEs) for automotive applications, addressing challenges found in conventi...

Abstract The remaining useful life (RUL) prediction of mechanical products has been widely studied for online system performance reliability, device remanufacturing, and product safety (safety awareness and safety improv...

Abstract In previous studies about the synchronization of vibrators, the restoring forces of springs are mainly treated as linear directly, whereas the nonlinear features are rarely considered in vibrating systems. To ma...

Abstract With the further development of service-oriented, performance-based contracting (PBC) has been widely adopted in industry and manufacturing. However, maintenance optimization problems under PBC have not received...

Abstract At present, the active control of gear vibration mostly relies on existing algorithms. In order to achieve effective vibration reduction of the gear system, particularly during the vibration process, this paper ...

Abstract The new energy vehicle plays a crucial role in green transportation, and the energy management strategy of hybrid power systems is essential for ensuring energy-efficient driving. This paper presents a state-of-...

Abstract Epistyliasis has been characterized as an emergent disease which has a great impact on fish farms, especially on Oreochromis niloticus production systems. Although epidemiological important, information about th...

In nanocomposites containing single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), the final properties strongly depend on the dispersion quality of these fillers. Various methods have been used to improve the dispersion of nanofillers...

Three dimensional (3D) in vitro neuronal cultures can better reproduce physiologically relevant phenotypes compared to 2D-cultures, because in vivo neurons reside in a 3D microenvironment. Interest in neuronal 3D culture...

Bobbin tool friction stir welding (BT-FSW) is a solid-state joining technique that produces high-strength welds without the need for backing plates. This study introduces a new variant, termed hybrid bobbin tool friction...

Biologic therapeutics have transformed the treatment of chronic and life-threatening diseases, yet their clinical use depends almost entirely on parenteral administration. Oral delivery is the preferred route for patient...

As a novel reactive damage material, high-entropy alloys (HEAs) have garnered widespread attention in the field of reactive damage in recent years due to their excellent mechanical properties and favorable energy release...
