Evaluation of Mechanical Properties of Phase‐Separated Cellulose Filler/Poly(Lactic Acid)/Elastomer Composites via Microstructure‐Informed Physics Simulation and In Situ Synchrotron X‐Ray Micro‐CT

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Phase‐separation microstructure and mechanical properties of a ternary biocomposite evaluated by integrated AFM, AFM‐informed FEM, and in situ X‐ray CT. ABSTRACT This study investigates phase‐separated cellulose filler/poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/elastomer ternary composites to enhance the mechanical performance of bioplastics. Atomic force microscopy (AFM)

Creating space(s) for learning in prison: Developing an andragogical framework

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Learning in prison is too often excluded from wider discussions of educational experiences, processes and impact. This paper proposes, for the first time, an iterative andragogical framework to conceptualise learning spaces within prison contexts.

Energy Balancing of Electrochemical Alternatives to the Solvay Process

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
To overcome the CaCl2 and CO2 emissions custom to the conventional Solvay process in soda ash production, electrochemically based alternatives were investigated. In particular, the mass‐ and energy balances for chlor‐alkali electrolysis and bipolar electrodialysis‐based processes are discussed comprehensively in the presented work.

Pharmacogenomics of Major Depressive Disorder in Indigenous Amazonian Populations

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Major depressive disorder is a highly prevalent psychological disorder worldwide and its main treatment is the use of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors. However, few studies have demonstrated the relationship between the presence of genetic variants in pharmacogenes and the efficacy of these drugs, especially in populations with a unique genetic ...

Study on fracture parameter calibration and failure characteristics of rock with hole and crack

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The SIF and plastic zone equations for a single hole and crack have been derived. The model's failure state leads to the identification of four types of cracks. The plastic zone increases with increased brittleness and decreased crack length. Abstract Cracks within the surrounding rock of roadways significantly affect their stability and failure ...
