Application of Non‐Isothermal Network Theory With Curved‐Channel Element Characteristics to Predict Melt Conveying in High‐Performance Single‐Screw Extruders

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a fast and accurate calculation tool to predict conveying of polymer melts in single‐screw extruders. Integrating generalized sub‐models into network theory allows to represent the complex screw shapes and material behavior more realistically. Tests on an industrial extruder show close agreement with experiments, outperforming older

Dual‐Functionality, Bio‐Friendly Artificial Muscles for Actuation and Motion Sensing in Smart Wearable Systems

Small, EarlyView.
This work presents a biofriendly carbon nanotube yarn artificial muscle operating either as an in‐air unipolar actuator or as a self‐powered ionotronic strain sensor. Using a non‐volatile eutectogel‐derived electrolyte, the system achieves up to 2.9% contraction and 0.5 mV/% strain sensing sensitivity.

Punching shear of unbonded post‐tensioned steel fiber reinforced concrete slabs: The fiber contribution

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) enhances the flexural capacity of flat slabs and, due to its effectiveness in statically redundant bi‐dimensional elements, represents a viable alternative to conventional reinforcement. Although numerous studies have investigated the flexural behavior of SFRC slabs with and without bonded reinforcement ...

Progress in bone tissue engineering biomaterials: Development, challenges, and prospects

VIEW, EarlyView.
Scheme 1 Application of biomaterials in immunomodulation during bone tissue engineering. Abstract Bone defect repair remains a major clinical challenge in orthopedics. Over 2 million cases caused by trauma, tumors, and other factors occur annually, with large‐scale defects posing a particular bottleneck due to limited self‐healing capacity.

From Conflicting Outcomes to Mutual Losses: How Punitive Responses to Problematic Substance Use Suppress Help‐Seeking and Cause Harm

Human Resource Management Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Problematic substance use (PSU) is a significant, inadequately managed people management challenge. Drawing on the conflicting outcomes and mutual losses perspectives on HRM and employee wellbeing, and using Job Demands‐Resources theory to explain underlying strain‐driven loss cycles, we examine factors shaping PSU and help‐seeking among 575 ...
