Organic solvent-assisted control of hydrogel structures and properties by Zhou, Quan

“…This became possible for the following two reasons: 1) the addition of ethanol makes SA solution exhibit the upper critical solution temperature (UCST) behavior in which gelation occurred when the temperature was reduced below the sol-to-gel transition temperature, and 2) the presence of ethanol significantly increased the viscosity of SA solution and enhanced its shear-thinning feature, thus making it ideal for 3D printing. …”

Second order multi-object filtering with target interaction using determinantal point processes by Teoh, Timothy Zhisheng

“…Our approach relies on posterior moment formulas for the estimation of a general hidden point process after a thinning operation and a superposition with a Poisson Point Process (PPP), and on suitable approximation formulas of the determinantal point process hypothesis. …”

Fabrication and characterization of graphene and carbon nanotube reinforced bioceramic nanocomposites by Hu, Huanlong

“…The reinforcing mechanism was due to the lubrication and pinning effects of rGO, which resulted in high resistance to penetration, elastic recovery capability, low-cycle fatigue resistance, and microcrack propagation inhibition properties. …”

Structural and metamorphic architecture of the Zanskar Himalaya, Suru Valley region, NW India: Implications for the evolution of the Himalayan metamorphic core by Cawood, IP, St-Onge, MR, Weller, OM, Searle, MP, Waters, DJ, Ahmad, T

“…D3 fabrics wrap thermal peak porphyroblasts and realign linear mineral phases. Tectonic thinning adjacent to D3 normal faults is documented by reduced structural spacing of isograds and alignment of isograd surfaces parallel to the faults. …”

Energy storage management for renewable energy systems by Feng, Xue

“…Compared with two conventional methods, the proposed control method for the HES demonstrates improved efficiency of involving the ultracapacitors to handle power spikes while protecting batteries from misuse. …”

Global burden of 288 causes of death and life expectancy decomposition in 204 countries and territories and 811 subnational locations, 1990–2021: a systematic analysis for the Glob... by Naghavi, M, Ong, KL, Aali, A, Almidani, O, Bandyopadhyay, S, Basnyat, B, Maude, R, Dolecek, C, Lacey, BWH

“…These estimates are particularly important following large-scale mortality spikes, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. When systematically analysed, mortality rates and life expectancy allow comparisons of the consequences of causes of death globally and over time, providing a nuanced understanding of the effect of these causes on global populations. …”

Smart material based on magnetorheological elastomer and its 3D printing by Bastola, Anil K.

“…The 3D printability of different materials has been studied by measuring their rheological properties and it was found that the highly shear thinning, and thixotropic properties are important for 3D printability. …”
