Depolymerization of Polycotton-Blended Fabrics: Challenges and Opportunities. [PDF]
The increasing production of cotton/polyethylene terephthalate (PET)‐blended textiles and the limitations of traditional recycling highlight the need for innovative strategies. This minireview explores pretreatments, chemical and enzymatic hydrolysis to selectively recover glucose, terephthalic acid, and ethylene glycol, enabling their reuse in ...

Management of Instrument Sterilization Workflow in Endodontics: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]
Endodontic treatment consists of different working procedures, such as the isolation of the operating field, pulp chamber access, and cleaning and shaping phases with at last the need of a three‐dimensional filling of the canals. Each step requires a series of single‐use or sterilizable instruments.

Abstract This work develops an optimization algorithm for the definition of gear microgeometry modifications (MGM) on a gearbox belonging to an offshore 10‐MW wind turbine. Subsequently, the impact of the gear microgeometry on the performance of gears and bearings is quantified: First, under rated load conditions and, second, accounting for the ...

Abstract Methodological and technological improvements are continually revolutionizing the field of ancient DNA. Most ancient DNA extraction methods require the partial (or complete) destruction of finite museum specimens, which disproportionately impacts small or fragmentary subfossil remains, and future analyses.

It is time for ancient DNA to sweat the small stuff
When one thinks of the field of ancient DNA it conjures images of extinct megafauna, from mammoths and woolly rhinos, through to the giant, flightless elephant bird (but hopefully not dinosaurs – despite the pervasive idea of ‘dino DNA’ from Jurassic park). These taxa have fascinating evolutionary histories, and their extinction stories need to be told.

The addition of a small amount of chromium (1.5 at%) to the Fe–Mn–Al–Ni shape memory alloy results in very good properties that are comparable to those of the initial alloy. Furthermore, the addition of chromium generally improves corrosion resistance by increasing the resistance to localized corrosion. A single crystalline condition shows an enhanced,

Influencing the Hydrogen Porosity in Aluminum Casting by (Re)active Filter Materials
Herein, the influence of active and reactive filter materials on hydrogen porosity in aluminum castings is shown. The use of spodumene as new reactive filter material contributes to a reduction of porosity in the castings. The research is part of the collaborative research center CRC920, which deals with the developing multifunctional filters for metal
