Microscale Mapping of Fiber Strain and Damage in Composite Wrinkled Laminates Using Computed Tomography Assisted Wide‐Angle X‐Ray Scattering

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study combines full‐field tomography with diffraction mapping to quantify radial (ε002$\varepsilon _{002}$) and axial (ε100$\varepsilon _{100}$) lattice strain in wrinkled carbon‐fiber specimens for the first time. Radial microstrain gradients (−14.5 µεMPa$\varepsilon \mathrm{MPa}$−1) are found to signal damage‐prone zones ahead of failure, which ...

Polymer‐in‐Cage Strategy for Pore Tuning of High‐Aspect Ratio ZIF Nanoplate: Toward Sub‐Micrometer‐Thick Large Area CO2 Separation Membranes

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A “polymer‐in‐cage” strategy transforms a zinc‐acrylate copolymer into an active pore‐modulating agent for ZIF‐8 nanoplates. The polymer actively tunes the MOF's pore structure by anchoring within its windows, while the nanoplates create tortuous pathways.

Rheumatoid arthritis: direct and indirect costs

Joint Bone Spine, 2004
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) causes disability, deformities, progressive radiological joint damage often with a need for joint replacement surgery, premature death, and alterations in quality of life. The economic burden created by RA is enormous. Direct costs per patient have been estimated at 1812-11,792 Euro annually and indirect costs at 1260-37,994 ...

Costs of endometriosis in Austria: a survey of direct and indirect costs

Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics, 2013
The literature includes a wealth of medical data on endometriosis, but the economic significance of the condition has so far been neglected. An analysis of hospital costs for endometriosis in Austria was, therefore, carried out for economic purposes.Seventy-three patients with endometriosis were included in the study.

Estimating Direct and Indirect Costs of Premenstrual Syndrome

Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2005
To quantify the economic impact of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) on the employer.Data were collected from 374 women aged 18-45 with regular menses. Direct costs were quantified using administrative claims of these patients and the Medicare Fee Schedule.
