Degradable Magnetic Composites from Recycled NdFeB Magnets for Soft Actuation and Sensing

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents a degradable soft magnetic composite made from recycled NdFeB particles embedded in a gelatin‐based organogel. The material is processed into magnetic sensors and soft robotic components, which can later be dissolved in a green solvent to recover NdFeB magnetic particles.

Ammonia Gas Sensor Fabricated by Multifunctional ZnO/GO Nanocomposites for Long‐Term, Self‐Powered Monitoring

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Zinc oxide/graphene oxide (ZnO/GO) nanocomposites serve as a gas‐sensitive film for ammonia sensing and as high‐performance electrode materials in supercapacitors, simultaneously. A wearable contact‐separated triboelectric nanogenerator is designed to directly drive the ZnO/GO nanocomposites‐based ammonia sensor.

Finite element analysis of footwear and ground interaction [PDF]

, 2005
Military boots are designed to prevent the soft tissue and skeletal structure of the feet from damage under heavy usage. Good slip-resistant tread patterns of the outer-sole are vital to minimise the risk or severity of slipping under demanding ...

Automated Optical 3d Scanner to Assess Postoperative Edema Following Forefoot Surgery. [PDF]

J Foot Ankle Res
ABSTRACT Background Postoperative edema is a common and often underestimated consequence of forefoot surgery, potentially affecting wound healing, patient comfort, and recovery time. Traditional measurement techniques, such as water displacement and circumferential taping, have limitations in the immediate postoperative period due to infection risk and

Superannuation Reimagined: Moving Beyond the Origins to an Indigenous Focus

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Retirement income systems, such as superannuation, are meant to be non‐discriminatory and consider disadvantage faced by members of society. There are significant differences between the life expectancies of Indigenous and non‐Indigenous peoples. The gap in life expectancies is not considered when determining when Indigenous peoples can retire.
