Embedding of a Blade-Element Analytical Model into the SHYFEM Marine Circulation Code to Predict the Performance of Cross-Flow Turbines

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
Our aim was to embed a 2D analytical model of a cross-flow tidal turbine inside the open-source SHYFEM marine circulation code. Other studies on the environmental impact of Tidal Energy Converters use marine circulation codes with simplified approaches ...

Photothermal Hydrogel with Mn3O4 Nanoparticles Alleviates Intervertebral Disc Degeneration by Scavenging ROS and Regulating Extracellular Matrix Metabolism

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The MPTT‐nanozyme‐hydrogel system (Mn3O4@ChS‐HA) provides a multifunctional therapeutic strategy for intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD), effectively targeting oxidative stress and enhancing AF repair by restoring extracellular matrix (ECM) and redox homeostasis.

The physical oceanography of the transport of floating marine debris

Environmental Research Letters, 2020
Marine plastic debris floating on the ocean surface is a major environmental problem. However, its distribution in the ocean is poorly mapped, and most of the plastic waste estimated to have entered the ocean from land is unaccounted for.

Cholesterol in mRNA‐Lipid Nanoparticles can be Replaced with the Synthetic Mycobacterial Monomycoloyl Glycerol Analogue MMG‐1

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that cholesterol in messenger RNA‐lipid nanoparticles (mRNA‐LNPs) can be completely replaced with an immunopotentiating lipid, i.e., a synthetic analogue of the C‐type lectin receptor agonist monomycoloyl glycerol (MMG‐1), without compromising physicochemical properties, in vivo transfection efficiency, and immunogenicity of the

Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...

ExoCubed: A Riemann-solver-based Cubed-sphere Dynamic Core for Planetary Atmospheres

The Astrophysical Journal
The computational fluid dynamics on a sphere is relevant to global simulations of geophysical fluid dynamics. Using the conventional spherical–polar (or lat–lon) grid results in a singularity at the poles, with orders-of-magnitude-smaller cell sizes at ...

A Laboratory Model of the Large-Scale Atmospheric Circulation of Tidally Locked Exoplanets

Atmosphere
We report on a novel fluid dynamics experiment configuration based on a modified version of the differentially heated rotating annulus, a widely used laboratory model of the large-scale mid-latitude atmospheric circulation.

Toward Robust Ionic Conductivity Determination of Sulfide‐Based Solid Electrolytes for Solid‐State Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The ionic conductivity of a solid electrolyte is just the “tip of the iceberg”. There are many parameters to consider to quantify it reliably in powdered solid electrolyte samples. Abstract All‐solid‐state batteries (ASSBs) are taking the lead as the next‐generation energy storage systems, mainly to the development of new solid electrolytes with high ...
