Eustachian Tube Opening in Children With and Without Cleft Palate and Association With Otitis Media

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Using transnasal endoscopy in 50 children, structural abnormalities of the torus tubarius—particularly the posterior lip—were significantly more common in children with cleft palate than in those without (52% vs. 20%). Adenoid size, dynamic Eustachian tube opening visibility, and the Eustachian Tube Inflammation Scale correlated with middle ear status ...

Liquid Crystal Elastomers Filaments for Adaptive Textiles and Soft Robotics: A Processing‐Centric Review

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) filaments are fabricated through extrusion with in‐process UV curing, enabling controlled flow alignment and network locking of mesogens. The resulting structure responds to thermal or optical stimuli, inducing molecular reorientation and macroscopic contraction.

Correlating Mid‐Infrared Absorption With Radiative Efficiency in Passive Daytime Radiative Cooling Systems

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
We establish a correlation between the mid‐IR photonic response of Passive Daytime Radiative Cooling systems and their thermal radiation performances, characterized within a dedicated setup that simulates the irradiance toward outer space under controlled and reproducible conditions.

On Compressible Fluid Flows of Forchheimer‐Type in Rotating Heterogeneous Porous Media

open access: yesMathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study the dynamics of compressible fluids in rotating heterogeneous porous media. The fluid flow is of Forchheimer‐type and is subject to a mixed mass and volumetric flux boundary condition. The governing equations are reduced to a nonlinear partial differential equation for the pseudo‐pressure.

A Coupled Extended Finite Element–Cohesive Zone Model for Hydraulic Fracture Propagation Under Poroelastic Effects Across Different Propagation Regimes

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Numerical simulation of hydraulic fracturing remains challenging due to the strong coupling between geomechanics and fluid flow when modelling multiple physical mechanisms of rock deformation, fracture evolution and fluid leak‐off. This study develops a coupled hydraulic fracture propagation framework that combines the extended finite element ...
