Mineralization of Octacalcium Phosphate under Magnetic Field

Crystals
The mineralization of octacalcium phosphate (OCP) crystals in gel media was studied in the presence of a magnetic field. OCP crystal growth was found to be dependent on mineralization temperature, mineralization time, and the magnetic field.

In Vitro Calcification Evaluation of Polycarbonate Urethane—Impact of Production Processes

Artificial Organs, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 231-240, February 2026.
The study shows that hot pressing induces chemical changes in PCU, promoting calcification, while solution‐cast patches remain unaffected. ABSTRACT Background Heart valve diseases remain a leading cause of death in industrialized nations. Polycarbonate urethane (PCU) is a promising material for heart valve prostheses due to its biocompatibility and low

Initial and residual benefits of soil amendments in reducing phosphorus release from soils with simulated snowmelt flooding

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract In the Canadian prairies, spring snowmelt occurs rapidly and causes flooding in low‐lying areas, inducing anaerobic soil conditions and exacerbating phosphorus (P) release to meltwater. Soil amendments can mitigate P loss from flooded soils soon after amendment application; however, their residual benefits are less understood.
