A Multiscale Approach for Predicting Certain Effects of Hand-Transmitted Vibration on Finger Arteries

Vibration, 2022
Prolonged exposure to strong hand-arm vibrations can lead to vascular disorders such as Vibration White Finger (VWF). We modeled the onset of this peripheral vascular disease in two steps.

Titanium Suboxides Responsible for Electronic Anomaly Near Room Temperature in the Ti3C2Tx MXene

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Our multi‐technique study reveals that the near‐room‐temperature anomaly in Ti3C2Tx MXene is linked to titanium suboxide nanodomains, including Ti3O5, embedded within the MXene host. Their temperature‐driven transformation provides an alternative explanation to solvent‐ and swelling‐based models and offers new insight into the thermally activated ...

Chiral Phase Change Nanomaterials

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates reversible, non‐volatile phase transitions in chiral Ge2${\rm Ge}_2$Sb2${\rm Sb}_2$Te5${\rm Te}_5$ (GST) nanohelices for high‐speed optical modulation of chirality and dynamic control of the state of polarization (SOP). The chiral nanostructures are fabricated using a highly directional, wafer‐scale physical vapor deposition ...

Exposure to hand-transmitted vibration and pain in the neck and upper limbs [PDF]

Occupational Medicine, 2001
Workers exposed to hand-transmitted vibration (HTV) often experience aches and pains in the upper limbs, but there have been few studies of the pattern and severity of symptoms, or their relationship to the estimated dose of vibration. As part of a wider survey of vibration, we mailed a questionnaire about exposures to HTV and pain in the neck and ...

Measuring the vibration of a brush cutter in different operation modes

International Journal of Horticultural Science, 2014
The vibration load of a hand-held machine depends on many factors not defined in the ISO 5349:2001 standard about the measurements and evaluation of human exposure to hand-transmitted vibration.

Demonstrating Vibrational Current Generation With a Self‐Assembled Bioelectret

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Vacuum‐deposited films of the plant‐derived molecule, Baicalein, form a self‐assembled bioelectret exhibiting spontaneous orientation polarization and a giant surface potential. The films induce alternating current during the vibration of a movable electrode without charging treatments. Hydrocarbon protection enhances the air stability of the Baicalein

Li‐Ion Battery Anodes Combining Intercalation and Plating Energy Storage Mechanisms through SiOx/C Coated Graphite

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A thin SiOx/C coating enables graphite to stably support Li intercalation and Li plating in a hybrid anode. Paired with an optimized localized high‐concentration electrolyte, the full cell achieves 584 mAh g−1 and 86% capacity retention after 500 cycles, highlighting a practical route toward higher‐energy lithium‐ion batteries.

Foundations of hand-transmitted vibration standards.

Nagoya journal of medical science, 1994
Standards for hand-transmitted vibration predict dependent variables (e.g. finger blanching) from measurements of a few independent variables (e.g. vibration magnitude, vibration frequency, exposure duration). This paper illustrates the assumptions in the current International Standard guidelines for the evaluation of hand-transmitted vibration and ...
