Three-dimensional Middle Infrared Spectroscopy Study on Crystalline and Amorphous Structures and Thermostability of Corn, Wheat, and Pea Starch by KONG Xiao-mei, DU Lin-nan, JIANG Meng-wei, CHAI Jia-xin, CHANG Mei-ling, ZHANG Yong, CHANG Ming, XU Yuan-yuan

“…The results showed that the infrared absorption modes of the three types of starch structures mainly include the C—O stretching vibration mode (vC—O starch), and all three types of starch contain crystalline and amorphous structures. The structures of the three types of starch are sensitive to temperature changes, with the amorphous structure being the first to change and the crystalline structure being relatively stable. …”

Simulation and validation of the effect of hydrostatic and non-hydrostatic pressure on contact pressure in a resilient seat butterfly valve by K Yuvaraj, G Arunkumar

“…Finite Element Analysis simulated the contact pressure distribution at the disc-seat interface, revealing pressures ranging between 6.2 MPa and 12.9 MPa, which exceed the applied hydrostatic pressure, ensuring effective containment. Experimental validation included hydrostatic testing per API 598 standards and non-hydrostatic testing using prescale contact pressure films. …”

Nonlinear Hydroelastic Waves beneath a Floating Ice Sheet in a Fluid of Finite Depth by Ping Wang, Zunshui Cheng

“…We find that, in different water depths, the hydroelastic waves traveling beneath the thickest ice sheet always contain the largest wave energy. While with an increasing thickness of the sheet, the wave elevation tends to be smoothened at the crest and be sharpened at the trough. …”

Nano colonies: Rearing honey bee queens and their offspring in small laboratory arenas by Zachary S. Lamas, Serhat Solmaz, Cory Stevens, Jason Bragg, Eugene V. Ryabov, Shayne Madella, Miguel Corona, Jay D. Evans

“…Here we provide a new system to reliably produce queens and worker brood in the laboratory and describe how this system fits with artificial insemination of queens as a step towards a continuous self-contained source of bees. The process creates a bridge between field research and laboratory trials and provides a secure system for contagious or regulated elements while maintaining many of the intrinsic characteristics of a honey bee colony.…”
