Experimental studies of the influence of the characteristics of the metal bond coat on the durability of the heat-protective coating of the turbine blades of a gas turbine engine

The service life of gas turbine engine (GTE) turbine blades with thermal barrier coatings (TBC) depends on many factors, including the composition, structure and properties of the metal bond coating (MB). The positive effect of using TBC is...

New Compounds Derived from Nitrophenol Synthesis, Structural investigation and anticorrision Properties

A new azo compound [2-((4-hydroxy-3-(E)-(2-hydroxy-5-nitrophenyl)diazenyl)benzaldeyde and the azo schiff derivative [2-((4-hydroxy-3-((E)-(2-hydroxy-5-nitrophenyl)diazenyl)benzylidene)amino)-4-nitrophenol (Azo-S) has been synthesized. 13C-N...

Integrating ayurvedic eye care into primary health practice: an exploratory study on the combined effect of pratimarsha nasya, avagundana, and aschyotana in meibomian gland dysfunction

BackgroundMeibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) has become increasingly common in community practice, often presenting as dryness, irritation, and ocular fatigue. Factors such as prolonged screen exposure, environmental irritants, and advancing...

The use of tear ferning test in cats for evaluation of ocular surface

Abstract Background The tear film is a trilaminar fluid composed mainly of lipids, electrolytes, proteins and water. It is responsible for lubrication, nutrition and protection against microbial and toxic agents. Disruption of any these com...

Influence of thin surface oxide films on hydrogen isotope release from ion-irradiated tungsten

We studied the influence of thin, electro-chemically grown tungsten (W) surface oxide films on hydrogen isotope release from W. As deuterium (D) reservoir underneath the oxide, we used a defect-rich, ion-irradiated W layer that was filled w...

Air‐Resistant Titanium Oxide Capping for Graphene/Ferromagnet Heterostructures

Abstract Graphene/ferromagnet interfaces have widely demonstrated the capability to host peculiar magnetic and electronic properties relevant for spintronic devices. In principle, besides strengthening perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA...

Dynamic of upper body sweat distribution in young males wearing fully encapsulated chemical protective ensembles

Abstract Impermeability is a feature of fully encapsulated chemical protective ensembles (FCPE), which can affect people's sweat and affect their clothing's thermal-wet comfort. This study investigated the dynamics of upper-body sweat distr...

Tensioned flexible riser vibrations under wave excitation, an investigation on the scale effect

In order to study the scale effect in wave-structure interactions and the role that structure-related parameters (tension T or bending stiffness EI) plays, riser model tests under regular waves were conducted using the model with multiple g...

Influence of Intellectual-cultural Orientation as Family Culture on Chinese College Students’ Subjective Well-being: A Moderation Model

The well-known mediation-moderation model of subjective well-being has been criticized because it oversimplified the concept of culture. This study aimed to explore whether the family culture, as supplement of social culture, has significan...

Online Course Tailoring Design through Project-Based Learning Syntax in Fashion Studies

In learning Tailoring courses, understanding theory is a very important basis before students practice. Without a strong understanding of theory, tailoring practice will only be trial and error. Therefore, lecturers must ensure that each st...

Organic Waste Bio-Based Materials for 3D Extrusion

This study explores bioplastics fabrication based on alginate polymer with added glycerine as a plasticizer, creating flexibility, and organic waste was used as a filler avoiding shrinkage. Exploratory, observational and experimental, Lit...

Utilizing Waste Cotton/Pigeon Pea Stalk Fibers Composites for Enhanced Sound Absorption and Insulation in Automotive Interiors

This study investigates the synthesis and characterization of composite materials, pigeon pea stem, and cotton fibers blended in different ratios such as 100/0, 70/30, 60/40, 50/50, 30/70, and 0/100. These composite materials were produced ...

BFLP: blockchain-based federated learning protocol with verifiable contribution proof

Abstract Cross-institutional federated learning suffers from centralized trust fragility, poisoning attacks, and the lack of verifiable contribution-based incentives. This paper proposes BFLP, a blockchain-based federated learning protocol ...

The Application of Food-Grade Chemical Treatment and Its Effect on the Mechanical Performance Characteristics of Ham Nets

This study involves the use of food-grade chemicals in the integrated pest management of dry-cured ham through the use of 100% polyester weft knitted mesh nets, an idea that was derived from a previously published study in the literature. T...

Theoretically Speaking – An Autoethnographic Journey in Crossing Disciplines to Being-Becoming a Practical Scholar

Becoming a PhD scholar requires a change in identity and new ways of thinking. This is difficult for those from practical backgrounds who struggle to merge the theoretical/scholarly with the creative/practical. Moving towards the scholarly ...
