The potential of computer vision, optical backscattering parameters and artificial neural network modelling in monitoring the shrinkage of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) during drying

, 2017
BACKGROUND Drying is a method used to preserve agricultural crops. During the drying of products with high moisture content, structural changes in shape, volume, area, density and porosity occur.

Janus Photonic Graphics by Stratified Assembly of Two Distinct Colloids

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Double‐sided Janus photonic micropatterns with vivid structural colors are fabricated through a single‐step bottom‐up strategy. Density‐driven stratification and depletion‐mediated crystallization of PMMA and PS binary colloids lead to exclusive lattices on opposite surfaces under centrifugal force.

Drying shrinkage of cement mortars treated with shrinkage-reducing agents.

Journal of the Society of Materials Science, Japan, 1989
Cement concrete and mortar have some disadvantages such as low tensile strength, large drying shrinkage and low extensibility. Cracks frequently occur in various concrete structures and mortar walls. In particular, the large drying shrinkage is the most important factor affecting crack formation.

Conformal Metallosaccharide Hybrid Films for Protecting Wood Surfaces From Environmental Damage

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Ti‐ribose hybrid films fabricated by molecular layer deposition form a conformal and uniform coating on wood surfaces, which provides water repellence, dimensional stability, and resistance to acidic and alkaline environments, while preserving the natural appearance.

The behaviour of reinforced concrete beams under cyclic temperature profiles [PDF]

, 1986
On a hot summer day, high levels of solar radiation are incident on concrete bridge decks, causing non-linear variations in temperature through the depths of the structures. The changes in temperature lead to axial expansion and curvature of decks.

Multiphase transfer model for intermittent microwave-convective drying of food: Considering shrinkage and pore evolution

, 2017
Intermittent microwave convective (IMCD) drying is an advanced drying technology that improves both energy efficiency and food quality during drying. Although many experimental studies on IMCD have been conducted, there is no complete multiphase porous ...

Flash Assembloids: A Rapid Biofabrication of a Platform for Modeling Early Glioblastoma Invasion at the Glioblastoma–Brain Organoid Interfaces

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a bioengineered assembloid (ASM) system combining glioblastoma (GBM) cells in oxidized alginate (OA) microgels with dorsal organoids (DOs). This model simulates brain tumor‐host interactions, revealing enhanced GBM invasion, altered gene expression, and aggressive infiltration patterns, demonstrating ASM as a valuable platform for ...

Physicochemical Reinforcement Unlocks Sterilization‐Stable Anisotropic Hydrogels for Cell‐Compatible Mock Arteries

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In vitro arterial models offer ethical and robust alternatives for vascular research but require cytocompatible materials that replicate physiological mechanics. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels produced by directional freezing and salting‐out (PVA DFSO) are anisotropic yet lack stability for cell culture. Herein, methacrylated PVA (PVA‐MA)
