Edible films containing natural antimicrobials, like natamycin and nisin, constitute an emerging technology that provides an additional stress factor for food preservation. However, it has been observed that edible films...

Numerous seismic damage investigations have demonstrated that reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures tend to exhibit a Strong-beam Weak-column failure mechanism, which contradicts the intended Strong-column Weak-beam ...

Thermoplastic polymers have emerged as compelling alternatives to conventional thermosets in response to increasing environmental concerns, primarily due to their superior recyclability and enhanced sustainability charac...

IntroductionThe limited availability of suitable scaffolds for three-dimensional (3D) cell culture has driven the development of new biomaterials. In this study, we developed a porcine fibrin matrix gel (PFMG) derived en...

Abstract The elastocaloric effect, driven by stress-induced martensitic transformations, offers a promising route toward efficient and environmentally friendly solid-state cooling. However, its practical implementation h...

This study investigates the tensile mechanical properties of gray sandstone under dynamic impact. Drawing on the one-dimensional stress wave theory, we conducted a one-dimensional spallation experiment using a 50 mm diam...

Abstract This work generalizes Heider’s classical balance theory into a quantum mechanical framework. The core idea is that, just as quantum reality exists in a superposition of possibilities until observed, our real-l...

ABSTRACT Objective The proximal femoral laterally bionic intramedullary nail (PFLBN) is a novel cephalomedullary fixation system incorporating an additional lateral wall screw. This study aimed to compare the stress dist...

Abstract Utilization of industrial waste to produce geopolymer concrete is a good answer to minimize the carbon-dioxide( Co2) released from the traditional procedure of producing Ordinary Portland cement (OPC). This not ...

Abstract Intervertebral disc (IVD) degenerative disease is a prevalent and debilitating spinal disease. Current treatments only focus on symptomatic relief but fail to halt disease progression or restore the native biome...

Abstract This study examines the thermo- and photo-oxidative degradation of bio-based polyamide 5.10, both neat and reinforced with 20 wt% regenerated cellulose fibers (RCF). The materials were additionally modified with...

Reinforced concrete (RC) piers have been widely studied and applied in bridge construction practice. To ensure the normal operation of RC piers under corrosive environments and seismic effects, new corrosion-resistant ma...

The monophyletic group Caviomorpha constitutes the most diverse rodent clade in terms of locomotion, ecology and diet. Caviomorph species show considerable variation in cranio-mandibular morphology that has been linked t...

Duplex stainless steels fabricated by Laser Bed Powder Fusion (LPBF) exhibit refined and metastable microstructures that can be particularly sensitive to intermediate-temperature exposure. In this study, the effect of 47...

Abstract Precise control of electrical properties in conductive micro-structures is essential for the performance and reliability of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). However, the nature of anisotropic physical va...

Abstract Background Matrix stiffness is a key feature of the mechanical microenvironment. Periodontal tissue is a multicomponent structure composed of cementum, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone, and is essential f...

"We study experimentally the properties of the flow of mechanical vibration-driven vehicles confined in two chambers connected through a narrow opening. We report that the density of particles around the opening presents...

This paper reports the results of an experimental program on sustainable cementitious composites made with Recycled Brick Aggregates (RBAs) employed as carriers for Phase-Change Materials (PCMs). The PCM-RBAs were produc...

Background: Cancer stem cells are important for the development of many solid tumors. These cells receive promoting and inhibitory signals that depend on the nature of their environment (their niche) and determine cell d...

The design of implantable biomaterials often aims to guide local cell behavior to control immune response. Non-chemical routes exploit the effect of mechanical properties and structure morphology on cell behavior. A clas...

Medium-entropy superalloys (MESAs) show promise for extreme-temperature applications, yet their governing defect mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we reveal the hot-deformation behavior of a MESA at 1120 °C using atomic-...

Abstract The driver-automation shared driving is a transition to fully-autonomous driving, in which human driver and vehicular controller cooperatively share the control authority. This paper investigates the shared stee...

Abstract Spatial variations in stiffness and mass density make the free-vibration behavior of tridirectionally functionally graded material (3D-FGM) beams highly sensitive to material gradation, while computationally eff...

To address the issues of low solution accuracy, premature convergence, and susceptibility to local optima in the Parrot Optimization (PO) algorithm, a Reinforced Multi-strategy Parrot Optimization (RMPO) algorithm has be...
