Use of wood-plastic composites in 4D printing technology by Daša Krapež Tomec, test test, Aleš Straže, Matevž Kokot, Manja Kitek Kuzman, Mirko Kariž

“…In 4D printing, the hygroscopicity of wood – usually considered a disadvantage – can be used as a positive property to design products that change their shape according to climatic conditions, especially humidity. In this research, we used the FDM (fused deposition modelling) technology of 3D printing PLA (polylactic acid) and wood-plastic composites (wood-PLA) to produce specimens with different material proportions, whose response to changing climatic conditions we monitored. …”

Controllable Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Three-Phase Flow Pulsating Mixing Microfluidic Chip by Guojun Liu, Xiang Ma, Xiaodong Sun, Yanhui Jia, Tengfei Wang

“…Experimental results show that the spherical AgNPs with an average particle diameter of about 29 nm, high yield, fine morphology, and good monodispersity were synthesized using the microfluidic chip under the conditions of the working frequency (200 Hz), the initial concentration of silver nitrate (1 mM), the synthesis temperature (80°C), the concentration ratio of sodium hydroxide to silver nitrate (2 : 1), the concentration ratio of glucose to silver nitrate (4 : 1), the inlet flow rate (3.5 ml/min), and the quality ratio of PVP to silver (more than 1 : 1). The related research shows that it is an efficient synthesis method to develop the controllable synthesis experiments of AgNPs under multifactors using the three-phase pulsating mixing microfluidic chip.…”

Influence Factors’ Analysis of the Face-End Roof Leaks Exposed to Repeated Mining Based on Multiple Linear Regression by Qiang Li, Dezhong Kong, Guiyi Wu, Zhijie Wen, Yuqi Shang

“…In view of the fact that the face-end roof fall under repeated mining of close-distance coal seams seriously affects the normal production of the working face, this paper takes working face 17101 as the background, different influencing factors of face-end roof caving exposed to repeated mining are analyzed through field observation of mine pressure data, different calculation schemes are obtained by using the orthogonal experiment, the subsidence of the face-end roof is taken as the judgment index, UDEC simulation software is used to calculate the subsidence of the face-end roof when different influencing factors change, and the application of SPSS statistical software is used for various parameters of multivariate linear regression analysis. The research results show that the influence degree of different factors from large to small is, respectively, mining height > tip-to-face distance > advancing speed > distance of coal seams > surrounding rock strength > support setting load. …”

A mathematical model for the spread of west nile virus in migratory and resident birds by Louis D. Bergsman, James M. Hyman, Carrie A. Manore

“…We find that yearly seasonal outbreaks depend primarily on the number of susceptible migrant birds entering the local population each season.We observe that the early growth rates of seasonal outbreaks is more influenced by thethe migratory population than the resident bird population.This implies that although the death of highly competent resident birds, such as American Crows,are good indicators for the presence of the virus, these species have less impact on the basic reproductive number than the competent migratory birds with low death rates, such as the American Robins.The disease forecasts are most sensitive to the assumptions about the feeding preferences of North American mosquito vectors and the effect of the virus on the hosts. Increased research on the these factors would allow for better estimates of these important model parameters, which would improve the quality of future WNV forecasts.…”
