Analysis and Prediction of Compressive Properties for Steel Fiber-and-Nanosilica-Reinforced Crumb Rubber Concrete by Danying Gao, Tao Zhang, Yihong Wang, Yiming Kong, Dawei Li, Yang Meng

“…The effects of the steel fiber volume content and nanosilica content on the compressive properties of SFNS-CRC were studied, including compressive strength, elastic modulus, peak strain, compression toughness, and failure pattern. The test results indicated that the modulus of elasticity and compressive strength of SFNS-CRC have the increasing tendency with the addition of steel fibers and nanosilica. …”

Bioprinting of bespoke islet-specific niches to promote maturation of stem cell-derived islets by Myungji Kim, Seungyeon Cho, Dong Gyu Hwang, In Kyong Shim, Song Cheol Kim, Jiwon Jang, Jinah Jang

“…Here, we bioengineer the in vivo-like pancreatic niches by optimizing the combination of pancreatic tissue-specific extracellular matrix and basement membrane proteins and utilizing bioprinting-based geometrical guidance to recreate the spatial pattern of islet peripheries. The bioprinted islet-specific niche promotes coordinated interactions between islets and vasculature, supporting structural and functional features resembling native islets. …”

Minimization of entropy generation rate in methanol steam reforming reactor by Rui Kong, Shaojun Xia, Zhihui Xie, Yu Lin

“…The comparisons show that the decrease in total EGR after optimization is mainly caused by reducing the heat transfer irreversibility, and the optimal profiles of control temperature have a similar distribution pattern. The local EGR due to heat transfer is more uniformly distributed in the axial direction, which conforms approximately to the equalization principle of the entropy production. …”
