Computational fluid dynamics and shape analysis enhance aneurysm rupture risk stratification by Benemerito, I, Ewbank, F, Narracott, A, Villa-Uriol, M, Narata, AP, Patel, U, Bulters, D, Marzo, A

“…Non-sphericity index (shape variable) and maximum oscillatory shear index (CFD variable) were the strongest predictors of a ruptured status. …”

Physical properties of keropok (fried crisps) in relation to the amylopectin content of the starch flours by Mohamed, Suhaila, Abdullah, Norakiah, Muthu, Mangayar Karasi

“…These starches can be recognised physically by their clarity on gelatinisation, stability to retrogradation, low resistance to shear and high cold‐paste viscosity. The addition of mung bean flour to tapioca flour helped increase the protein content and flavour of the keropok; it also reduced the oil absorption of the keropok during frying. …”

Detailed turbulent structures investigation around piers group induced flow by Ikani, Nima, H. Pu, Jaan, Zang, Shuyan, Hussein Al-Qadami, Ebrahim Hamid, Razi, Adib

Studies on the assessment of abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture risk by Canchi, Tejas

“…A comparative analysis of two patient models with differing maximum diameters and literature based inlet and outlet boundary conditions was carried out by extracting biomechanical parameters such as principal stresses and wall shear stresses from the simulation. The patient model with the larger maximum transverse diameter developed lower principal and wall shear stresses than the one with a smaller value of the diameter. …”

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. …”
