Multi-objective optimization of graphene far-infrared paddy drying process based on response surface methodology by Jiyou An, Yuanjie Du, Jianchun Yan, Hai Wei, Huanxiong Xie

“…This study examined the impacts of infrared radiation temperature (45–55 °C), air flow (300–460 m3/h), and grain flow rate (6–8 kg/min) on the stress cracking index (SCI), specific energy consumption (SEC), and thermal efficiency. The Box–Behnken response surface methodology and expectation function method were employed to model and optimize the quality of far-infrared drying of paddy graphene. …”

A Fetus with Imperforate Anus Developing Pulmonary Hypoplasia Triggered by Transient Urethral Obstruction by Masatake Toshimitsu, Takayuki Iriyama, Seisuke Sayama, Kan Suzuki, Satsuki Kakiuchi, Mari Ichinose, Takahiro Seyama, Kenbun Sone, Keiichi Kumasawa, Takeshi Nagamatsu, Tomoyuki Fujii, Yutaka Osuga

“…Prenatal and postnatal findings strongly suggested that the meconium in the colon might have passed into the urethra in the penis, resulting in the physical blockage of urine outflow to the amniotic space which leads urine flow from the bladder to the colon through the fistula, which resulted in subsequent oligohydramnios and bowel dilation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of a fetus with imperforate anus developing pulmonary hypoplasia possibly due to urethral obstruction.…”
