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. …”

Computation fluid dynamics on drag reduction II by Zang, Bin

“…Five RANS turbulence models: Spalart-Allmaras (Vorticity-based production); Spalart-Allmaras (Strain / Vorticity-based production); k-ε Standard (Enhanced Wall Treatment); k-ε Realizable (Enhanced Wall Treatment) and k-ω Standard (Shear Flow Correction), are chosen after comparing with DNS data published by Moser et al (1999). [20] Subsequently, the single and multiple dimpled channel flows are modeled and simulated by the five RANS models chosen in the verification stage with periodic boundary condition, a Reynolds number of 20000, and a three-dimensional channel of L = 1.5 m, B = 0.454 m and H = 1 m. …”

Long-term slip rate of the southern San Andreas Fault from 10Be-26Al surface exposure dating of an offset alluvial fan by Ryerson, Frederick J., Van der Woerd, Jérôme, Klinger, Yann, Sieh, Kerry, Tapponnier, Paul, Mériaux, Anne-Sophie

“…This result puts new constraints on the slip rate of the San Jacinto and on the Eastern California Shear Zone for the last 35 kyr. Our study shows that more sites along the major faults of southern California need to be targeted to better constrain the slip rates over different timescales.…”

Structure-activity relationships of photo-activated soft tissue Adhesive by Wicaksono, Gautama

“…Finally, to demonstrate potential applications, the proposed CaproGlu bioadhesive is mixed with osseointegrative additive to form a bone cement biocomposite using a model PMMA pin that allows biocomposite curing through a transparent light guide, with resulting lap shear strength up to 40 kPa. Overall, this diazirine-based adhesive system demonstrates a novelty in adhesive design where excellent tunability in material properties can be achieved by modifying composition (adding liquid polymer or solid particles) and light activation parameters (power, wavelength) with direct application towards soft and hard tissue adhesion.…”
