Abstract Non-contact actuated microbeads have attracted a lot of attention in recent years because of its enormous potential in medical, biological, and industrial applications. Researchers have proposed a multitude of e...

This study employs molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to systematically investigate the effects of the degree of polymerization (DP 10, 20, and 35) on the mechanical and tribological properties of nitrile butadiene rubb...

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising materials for atmospheric water harvesting (AWH). Large-pore MOFs provide high water capacity, but their significant hysteresis between sorption and desorption ...

"We propose a new goodness-of-fit test for normal and lognormal distributions with unknown parameters and type-II censored data. This test is a generalization of Michael's test for censored samples, which is based on the...

Abstract Bearing layers are commonly produced using coarse aggregates, gravel, and filler, where excessive filler content can reduce drainage performance. This study investigates an alternative production method for conv...

The productivity and linkages in the food web of the southern region of the west Antarctic Peninsula continental shelf were investigated using a multi-trophic level mass balance model. Data collected during the Southern ...

A refinement method is proposed to solve the difference in the macroscopic elasticity and the interpenetration in interface area between different particle-size areas in the DEM. In simulations of 3D DEM large-scale prob...

Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) is commonly used to permanently reduce spasticity in children with cerebral palsy (CP). However, studies have yielded varying results regarding muscle strength and activity after SDR. Som...

Abstract Background During the COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, a major challenge for policymakers was finding the balance between containing outbreaks and supporting mental health. Although lockdowns slowed COVID-19 tran...

Outstanding questions about the RNA world hypothesis for the emergence of life on Earth concern the stability and self-replication of prebiotic aqueous RNA. Recent experimental work has suggested that solid substrates an...

Abstract This study applies a stochastic framework to quantify Potentially Toxic Elements (PTEs) and related risks in soils of the Maluwe–Tinga–Wasipe corridor in the Savannah Region of Ghana. A total of 729 B-horizo...

The spinning metering pump serves as a critical component that delivers the spinning solution with high precision and directly governs the efficiency of wet spinning industrialization. Nevertheless, manual adjustment of ...

The configuration of the Northern Hemisphere ice sheets during the Last and Penultimate Glacial Maxima (LGM; PGM) influenced millennial-scale climate changes, as well as solid Earth and sea level changes that occurred du...

We present an overview of the Middle Ages Galaxy Properties with Integral Field Spectroscopy (MAGPI) survey, a Large Program on the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope. MAGPI is designed to study the physi...

Sustainable development requires both CO2 emission reduction and management of existing greenhouse gases. Utilizing CO2 as a substrate in light-assisted catalytic reactions is promising, particularly with metal-organic f...

This study investigated the effectiveness of integrating virtual laboratories into secondary school chemistry instruction on acid–base equilibrium concepts in Addis Ababa. It examined the impact of simulation-based vir...

Low thermal sensitivity of the optical propagation phase in optical fiber is critical for high-precision fiber systems, including applications such as ultra-low noise lasers, highly sensitive interferometric sensing, and...

Many astrophysical simulations involve extreme dynamic range of timescales around 'special points' in the domain (e.g. black holes, stars, planets, disks, galaxies, shocks, mixing interfaces), where processes on small sc...

We measure the change in transverse orbital angular momentum (tOAM) per photon, Δ⟨L y⟩, applied to an optical pulse by a pure amplitude perturbation. The results are in excellent agreement with calculations and simu...

Abstract Graphene has superhigh thermal conductivity up to 5000 W/(m·K), extremely thin thickness, superhigh mechanical strength and nano-lamellar structure with low interlayer shear strength, making it possess great po...

We report the synthesis, structural characterization, and atomistic simulations of AgPd-Pt trimetallic (TM) nanoparticles. Two types of structure were synthesized using a relatively facile chemical method: multiply twinn...

Grounded in the need to modernize science education and promote learner-centred approaches, this study examined the effectiveness of integrating context-based 7E instructional strategies, rooted in constructivist learnin...

Prior validation against well-documented benchmark experiments is essential for establishing a reliable computational foundation for liquefied natural gas (LNG) vapor dispersion simulations in safety assessments and haza...

El objetivo de este trabajo es mostrar que una toma de decisión puede ser optimizada realizando una simulación exploratoria previa a un estudio de bioequivalencia. Los métodos estadísticos para bioequivalencia se apl...
