Sonographic Diagnosis of an Intercostal Artery Pseudoaneurysm: A Case Report and Literature Review

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
A 63‐year‐old male presented to the emergency department after being found unconscious during a welfare check. Following a prolonged three‐month hospital admission, the patient developed left flank pain. Spectral Doppler ultrasound revealed a large isoechoic lesion with layering echoes, and spectral Doppler demonstrated bidirectional flow.

Effect of in situ amylase and fermented maize starch on texture and after‐cooking storability of lafun dough

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Lafun is made by fermenting and drying cassava chunks, which are then milled into flour and cooked into dough. Its quality characteristics are variety‐dependent, while it may become too soft or even liquefy during storage, leading to rejection by end‐users.

Photoresponsive Metallo‐Supramolecular Systems Constructed From a Bidentate Ligand

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Metallosupramolecular polymer organogels based on dynamic metal–ligand (ML) cross‐links are rendered optically responsive by incorporating a photoacid generator. Exposing these systems to UV light releases an acid that protonates the ligands, causing network disassembly and thereby softening.

Seismic response of mitigation of sand liquefaction beneath existing buildings using microbial induced desaturation

Case Studies in Construction Materials
Earthquake-induced liquefaction is a geological disaster that caused extensive damage to buildings, railways, dams. Due to the construction techniques and economic conditions, the subsurface layers of some buildings must be reinforced to resist seismic ...

Numerical Investigation of the Influence of Interparticle Cohesion During the Shear Behavior of Granular Soil

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Interparticle cohesive forces play a crucial role in governing the shear behavior of many soils; however, quantifying this effect remains challenging due to limited microscopic insights available from laboratory experiments. In this context, the current study aims to investigate the influence of microscale cohesion on the shear response using ...

Investigating the Performance of Polytetrafluoroethylene and Polyoxymethylene Creasing Rules in the Package Conversion of Coated Paperboard

Packaging Technology and Science, EarlyView.
Two sets of creasing tools were designed and machined from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and polyoxymethylene (POM) in this study to improve the creasability of commercial dispersion‐coated paperboard. Their performance was evaluated by measuring the oil and grease resistance of the samples before and after creasing/folding and comparing the results ...
