Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Patient‐specific brain phantoms can replace animal trials, aid presurgical training, and enable in silico disease research on cerebrospinal fluid and ventricles. This study presents a method to create ventricular brain phantoms from three‐dimensional magnetic resonance images brain scans, resulting in durable, tunable, reproducible models that mimic ...

Does Direct Democracy Matters for Political Parties : An Empirical Test in the Swiss Cantons [PDF]
, 1999 According to most political scientists and commentators, direct democracy seems to weaken political parties. Our empirical analysis in the 26 Swiss cantons shows that this thesis in its general form cannot be maintained. Political parties in cantons with

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This study explores a crystal‐symmetry‐based approach to optimize mechanical properties in laser powder bed fused AISI 316L with predominant {110}<100> Goss textures. By varying the build orientation, the microstructure can be tailored and the tensile properties optimized. The tilted build (T110) achieved the highest strength while preserving ductility,

W‐Based Thin Film Metallic Glasses Doped with Ni, Zr, and B for Industrial Applications
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This work is the first to deal with a comprehensive comparison of two metallic glass systems, W–Zr–B and W–Ni–B, in terms of their suitability for specific industrial applications. Their mechanical and tribological properties are compared and discussed in combination with structural homogeneity on different types of technically relevant substrates and ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.High‐performance nickel‐based superalloys are often not processible in additive manufacturing (AM) due to hot cracking. The findings in this manuscript propose an efficient method to mitigate cracking and enhance mechanical properties of these alloys by producing a metal matrix composite, contributing to the material and process perspective of the AM ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Copper addition profoundly impacts MoNbTi multiprincipal element alloys. This study reveals copper's dual role, promoting microstructural refinement and strengthening intermetallics at optimal concentrations. An ideal copper content significantly boosts hardness and compressive strength, achieving superior mechanical performance.
