Due to cost and variability of geotechnical test results, the number of samples for geotechnical material parameters in one engineering project is limited, resulting in a certain degree of errors in the calculation of probability distribution, mean,...

Ucuuba (Virola surinamensis) is a fruit of Amazonian origin with anti-inflammatory, nutritional, and phenolic substances. This study aimed to prepare and characterize the ucuuba co-product extract as well as to evaluate its antioxidant and cytotoxic...

Droplet-based microfluidics has rapidly advanced applications in chemistry, biology, materials science, medicine, food science, and cosmetics. Using this technology, various oils have been employed for fluid encapsulation. This study is the first to...

Particle-based 3D printing shows great potential in high-performance composite fabrication due to high raw material utilization and flexible material compatibility. However, constrained by conventional extrusion system structures, critical issues (no...

The development of Braille recognition technology is intrinsically linked to the educational rights of individuals with visual impairments. The key challenges in natural scene Braille detection include three core trade-offs: difficulty extracting sma...

To meet the demand for simulative materials exhibiting suitable hydraulic characteristics in geomechanical model tests, this research developed a type of simulative material using iron powder, quartz sand, and barite powder as aggregates, white cemen...

The hydrogenation of p-cymene to p-menthane, a bio-based solvent, over four platinum-group catalysts, was thoroughly investigated in this study. The effect of the support material, pressure, and temperature were explored. Rhodium was the most effecti...

As the demand for high-quality visual experiences continues to grow, advanced imaging technologies offering higher realism and immersion are being increasingly integrated into various fields. Among them, glasses-free 3D imaging has gained significant...

The design and validation of a reverberation chamber (RC) specifically constructed for conducting large-scale experimental animal carcinogenicity studies using RF electromagnetic fields (EMF) relevant to contemporary 4G and 5G mobile communication (9...

Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and Huntington’s disease are characterized by progressive neuronal loss, driven mainly by the misfolding, aggregation, and accumulation of each disease&rsq...
