convective heat transfer enhancement of non-condensing vertical upward slug flow using capillary-assisted phase separation [PDF]
This paper discusses the convective heat transfer enhancement of non-condensing slug flows by using phase separation for local liquid circulations through a porous-tube insert. Numerical simulations were carried out to study the air-water slug flow and heat transfer without phase change (boiling and condensation) in a vertical upward flow.

2D Vermiculite Nanolaminated Membranes for Efficient Organic Solvent Nanofiltration
Intercalating multivalent cations into 2D vermiculite nanolaminates significantly improves the structural stability and sieving capabilities of membranes in both aqueous and organic media, rendering them effective for organic solvent nanofiltration. Abstract Membrane separation technology has found widespread application in molecular sieving and water ...

Circulant Tensors with Applications to Spectral Hypergraph Theory and Stochastic Process [PDF]
Circulant tensors naturally arise from stochastic process and spectral hypergraph theory. The joint moments of stochastic processes are symmetric circulant tensors. The adjacency, Laplacian and signless Laplacian tensors of circulant hypergraphs are also symmetric circulant tensors.

A flexible micro‐electrocorticography array with PEDOT:SS electrodes is shown to be compatible with ultra‐high magnetic field MRI up to 9.4 T. Multimodal brain monitoring is demonstrated by performing simultaneous blood oxygen level‐dependent functional MRI in parallel with electrophysiology.

Bioresorbable and Wireless Rechargeable Implanted Na‐ion Battery for Temporary Medical Devices
An all‐solid‐state bioresorbable Na‐ion battery is developed, composed entirely of bio‐eliminable materials. In vivo and ex vivo tests confirmed harmless disintegration of this implanted battery. Lifetime of the implanted battery can be precisely controlled by adjusting the dissolvable encapsulation layer's thickness.

Exploring Multidimensional Checkworthiness: Designing AI-assisted Claim Prioritization for Human Fact-checkers [PDF]
Given the massive volume of potentially false claims circulating online, claim prioritization is essential in allocating limited human resources available for fact-checking. In this study, we perceive claim prioritization as an information retrieval (IR) task: just as multidimensional IR relevance, with many factors influencing which search results a ...

Some (Hopf) algebraic properties of circulant matrices [PDF]
We study some (Hopf) algebraic properties of circulant matrices, inspired by the fact that the algebra of circulant $n\times n$ matrices is isomorphic to the group algebra of the cyclic group with $n$ elements. We introduce also a class of matrices that generalize both circulant and skew circulant matrices, and for which the eigenvalues and ...

Time‐Controlled Dual Targeting to Program Systemic and Intercellular Transfer of Therapeutic Effects
Aspirin‐liposomes loaded onto monocytes enable inflammation‐triggered targeting and efficient hand‐over of aspirin to inflamed cells. Monocytes uptake a significant portion of aspirin‐liposomes, prolonging therapeutic action. This approach enhances anti‐inflammatory effects through intercellular transfer, demonstrating a translational strategy for ...

Vector-Circulant Matrices over Finite Fields and Related Codes [PDF]
A vector-circulant matrix is a natural generalization of the classical circulant matrix and has applications in constructing additive codes. This article formulates the concept of a vector-circulant matrix over finite fields and gives an algebraic characterization for this kind of matrix.

Shape‐Stabilization of Phase Change Materials with Carbon‐Conscious Poly(hydroxy)Urethane Foams
Poly(hydroxy)urethane (PHU) foam, derivable from carbon dioxide (CO2) and bio‐based resources, is a promising material platform for shape‐stabilizing phase change materials (PCMs). We demonstrate the encapsulation of both paraffins and calcium chloride hexahydrate in PHU foam, achieving 48 stable thermal cycles by introducing 5 wt.% barium carbonate ...
