Bio-inspired 3D printing approach for bonding soft and rigid materials through underextrusion by Arman Goshtasbi, Luca Grignaffini, Ali Sadeghi

“…This technique leverages the common issue of underextrusion to create a strong bond between soft and rigid materials. Underextrusion generates a porous structure, similar to fibrous connective tissues, that provides a robust interface with the rigid part through layer fusion, while the porosity enables interlocking with the soft material. …”

Effects of ultrasonication on electrical and self-sensing properties for fiber-reinforced cementitious composites containing MWCNTs by Jin-Seok Woo, Ai-Hua Jin, Hyun-Do Yun, Junhee Yu, Je Hyun Bae, Sun-Woo Kim, Soo-Yeon Seo, Gun-Cheol Lee, Seongwon Hong, Kang-Soo Kim, Sangyoung Han

“…Additionally, this optimal dispersion within the cementitious composite enhanced self-sensing capability, accuracy to strain changes, and repeatability, indicating strong self-sensing capabilities. These results were validated by the strongest linear correlation observed between fractional change in resistance and compressive strain, with an R2 value of 0.935, outperforming other specimens. …”

Sensitivity Study of WRF Parameterization Schemes and Initial Fields on Rainstorm Simulation in Minjiang River Basin by LIN Sinuo, ZHANG Yinchi, SUN Shao, GUAN Xiaojun, JIANG Caiying, GAO Lu

“…As one of the most dominant weather forecasting tools,numerical models have been widely employed for early warning and prediction of strong weather processes such as extreme rainfalls.In practical forecasting operations,numerical models are affected by initial fields,boundary conditions,and parameterization schemes,which makes it difficult to conduct long-time accurate forecasts.Based on the new-generation mesoscale numerical weather forecasting model,i.e.…”

“The advice? Think bigger”: Community perspectives on dairy farming, including surplus calves—An Australian focus group study by Sarah E. Bolton, Bianca Vandresen, Marina A.G. von Keyserlingk

“…Despite this, many people still hold strong values about how food is produced. The aim of this study was to attain an in-depth understanding of Australian public attitudes toward sustainability and animal welfare in dairy production, as well as early-life killing of surplus dairy calves and cow-calf separation, issues commonly identified as being out of step with public values. …”

Flavoured leptogenesis and CPμτ symmetry by Rome Samanta, Manibrata Sen

“…Abstract We present a systematic study of leptogenesis in neutrino mass models with μτ-flavoured CP symmetry. In addition to the strong hierarchical N1-dominated scenario (N1DS) in the ‘two flavour regime’ of leptogenesis, we show that one may choose the right-handed (RH) neutrino mass hierarchy as mild as M2 ≃ 4.7M1 for a perfectly valid hierarchical N1DS. …”

Intense Cooling of the Upper Ocean with the Merging of Tropical Cyclones: A Case Study in the Southeastern Indian Ocean by Oliver Wurl, Jens Meyerjürgens

“…Merging occurred on 9 April (20.5°S, 108.5°E), and with this interaction a sudden reversal from a downward to an upward velocity of up to 30 m d–1 was observed with subsequent transitions from maxima in downward and upward velocities (–10 to 10 m d–1). As a consequence, strong upwelling processes in the upper 200 m occurred, which were confirmed by in-situ data from ARGO floats. …”
