Fatigue of SFRC in compression: Size effect & autogenous self-healing by G. Ruiz, Á. de la Rosa, J. J. Ortega, E. Poveda, R. C. Yu, M. Tarifa, X.X. Zhang, Lucía Garijo

“…The review demonstrates that larger SFRC specimens have reduced fatigue lives, attributed to increased elastic energy driving microcrack growth, aligning with classical size effect theory. Additionally, it highlights autogenous self-healing, where fatigue-induced microcracks release occluded water, promoting rehydration and calcium carbonate precipitation, which enhances residual strength. …”

The application of emerging technologies for the quality and safety evaluation of oilseeds and edible oils by Xue Li, Wenwen Liu, Lu Xiao, Jie Zhao, Yan Chen, Liangxiao Zhang, Peiwu Li, Dolores Pérez-Marín, Xu Wang

“…Safety and quality of oilseeds and edible oils cannot be ignored, which can pose risk to human health and cause agro-economic loss. Classical techniques widely used to detect the safety and quality attributes of oilseeds and edible oils often involve time-consuming and tedious operation; therefore, the development of low cost, rapid and non-destructive detection method is necessary. …”

Novel design of drug delivery in stented arteries:A numerical comparative study by Mario Grassi, Giuseppe Pontrelli, Luciano Teresi, Gabriele Grassi, Lorenzo Comel, Alessio Ferluga, Luigi Galasso

“…Implantation of drug eluting stents following percutaneoustransluminal angioplasty has revealed a well establishedtechnique for treating occlusions caused bythe atherosclerotic plaque.However, due to the risk of vascular re-occlusion,other alternative therapeutic strategiesof drug delivery are currently being investigated.Polymeric endoluminal pave stenting is an emerging technologyfor preventing blood erosion and for optimizing drug release.The classical and novel methodologies are compared througha mathematical model able to predict the evolution ofthe drug concentration in a cross-section of the wall.Though limited to an idealized configuration, the presentmodel is shown to catch most of the relevant aspects ofthe drug dynamics in a delivery system.Results of numerical simulations shows that a bi-layer gel paved stenting guarantees a uniform drug elution anda prolonged perfusionof the tissues, and remains a promising and effective techniquein drug delivery.…”

Triplet-ground-state nonalternant nanographene with high stability and long spin lifetimes by Weixiang Zhou, Yiyang Fei, Yu-Shuang Zhang, Xiaohe Miao, Shang-Da Jiang, Junzhi Liu

“…Here, we report a straightforward synthetic and isolation method for synthesizing a nonalternant nanographene (1) with a triplet ground state. Moving beyond the classic m-xylylene scaffold for high-spin organic molecules, seven-five-seven (7–5–7)-membered rings are introduced to create stable high-spin diradicals with half-lives (t 1/2) as long as 101 days. …”

High-throughput and low-overhead probabilistic routing based on multi-player bargaining game for opportunistic networks by Zhi REN, Jian-wei SUO, Wen-peng LIU, Hong-jiang LEI, Qian-bin CHEN

“…To address the problems existing in the present probabilistic routing based on bargaining games,including unidirectional transmission of messages degrades the success ratio,depending on the virtual money decreases the purchasing power of nodes,and redundancy exists in the interaction process of messages,an routing algorithm based on multi-player bargaining game for opportunistic networks,HLPR-MG,was proposed.Through extending the two-player game to a multi-player bargaining game,introducing the barter trade to enhance purchasing power of nodes,and improving the existing interaction mechanism to reduce the times of game,proposed algorithm achieves the effect of increasing network throughput and decreasing control overhead.Theoretical analysis verifies the effectiveness of HLPR-MG,and simulation results show that HLPR-MG improves the network throughput and success ratio at least 3.63%,and reduces the control overhead and average end-to-end delay by more than 17.76% and 4.03%,respectively,as compared to the classical GSCP and BG algorithms.…”
