Electrospun Wood‐Derived Biopolymers as Electrodes in Electrochemical Energy Storage Technologies

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Electrospinning transforms wood‐derived cellulose and lignin into architecturally defined, binder‐free carbon electrodes with tuneable porosity and functionality. This review shows how fibre design enables decoupled charge and mass transport, enhancing performance across battery systems, while identifying key challenges in spinnability, scalability ...

Buffer with Dropping Function and Correlated Packet Lengths

Applied System Innovation
We analyze a model of the packet buffer in which a new packet can be discarded with a probability connected to the buffer occupancy through an arbitrary dropping function. Crucially, it is assumed that packet lengths can be correlated in any way and that

Optimal Buffer Allocation in Flexible Manufacturing Systems Using Genetic Algorithm and Simulation

Journal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2012
Over the past few decades, buffer allocation problems have been investigated extensively. It is widely known that buffers play important roles in the manufacturing system, including preparing disruption and improving efficiency.

Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.

A novel method to determine buffer strip effectiveness on deep soils [PDF]

, 2012
Unfertilized buffer strips (BS) generally improve surface water quality. High buffer strip effectiveness (BSE) has been reported for sloping shallow aquifers, but experimental data for plain landscapes with deeply permeable soils is lacking.

Application of isolation technology in shallow super-large comprehensive pipe galleries in seismically vulnerable areas with weak soils

Applied Rheology, 2023
Shallow urban tunnels with super-large sections in weak soils may experience much more devastating seismic hazards than conventionally deep tunnels in seismically vulnerable areas. This study investigates the seismic response and isolation technology for

Dynamically Actuated Reconfigurable Topographical Surface Enables Active Control of Implant‐Associated Infections

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A dynamically actuated reconfigurable topographical surface (DARTS) integrates contact‐mediated bactericidal nanotopography with programmable mechanical actuation to actively disrupt bacterial biofilms. Dynamic surface reconfiguration enhances bacterial killing and suppresses implant‐associated infections in vivo, providing a new strategy for active ...

A Unified Continuous-Time Markov Chain Framework for Modeling and Comparative Performance Evaluation of Finite-Buffer Production Systems

Journal of Manufacturing and Materials Processing
Finite-buffer production systems are widely used in manufacturing, where performance depends on the interaction among machine reliability, buffer capacity, and maintenance policies.

Programming Nanoscale Reaction Environments via Peptide Localization for Gold Nanoparticle Growth in Liposomal Nanoreactors

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The liposome nanoreactor method enables uniform metal nanoparticle synthesis using the interior as a reaction environment. We demonstrate that peptide sequences and lipid compositions act as a functional molecular switch to control reaction environments in liposome nanoreactors.
