Analytical and Numerical Investigation of Knee Brace Equipped with a Shape Memory Alloy Damper by Milad Shakiba, Seyed Mohammad Reza Mortazavi

“…The most important advantage of these materials is their superelastic behavior, which allows the alloy to return to its original shape after a large deformation. In superelastic behavior, the shape memory alloy can also dissipate a significant amount of energy while returning to its original shape. …”

Numerical Simulation of the Supporting Effect of Anchor Rods on Layered and Nonlayered Roof Rocks by Chao Yuan, Lei Fan, Jian-feng Cui, Wei-jun Wang

“…The research results show that when the original rock stress is not considered, the bolt support shows obvious tensile, compressive stress areas and positive and negative displacement areas in the surrounding rock of the roof of the roadway; when the original rock stress is taken into account, the tensile and compressive stress zones and the positive and negative displacement zones of the anchor support in the surrounding rock of the roof plate disappear obviously. …”

Multi-objective optimization of custom implant abutment design for enhanced bone remodeling in single-crown implants using 3D finite element analysis by Pongsakorn Poovarodom, Chaiy Rungsiyakull, Jarupol Suriyawanakul, Qing Li, Keiichi Sasaki, Nobuhiro Yoda, Pimduen Rungsiyakull

“…The optimum model significantly increased cortical bone density from 1.2 to 1.937 g/cm3 in 2 months, while the original model reached 1.91 g/cm3 in 11 months. The standard deviation of density showed more uniform bone apposition, with the optimum model showing values 2 to 6 times lower than the original over 12 months. …”

Intercultural and Intertextual Crossings in Sarah Howe’s Loop of Jade (2015) by Yasna Bozhkova

“…Loop of Jade explores the experience of cultural hybridity and deracination through an intertextual poetics predicated on artifice and irony, going against the grain of a simple, unmediated confessional poetic narrative “of the origins.” After the actual experience of return paradoxically leads to a crisis of identification, intertextuality becomes an alternative route allowing Howe to approach her origins obliquely. …”

Occurrence of Fungi and Mycotoxins in Fish Feeds and Their Impact on Fish Health by Esther Marijani, Emmanuel Kigadye, Sheila Okoth

“…Use of animal protein in fish feeds is expensive; hence, a majority of farmers from developing countries use local feed ingredients from plant origin as a source of dietary protein. However, these ingredients of plant origin provide the best natural substrates for fungi, which can be easily accompanied by mycotoxin development under suitable conditions. …”
