Microemulsion‐Based Drilling Fluids Incorporating Seashell Residue Powder: A Sustainable Approach to Fluid Loss Control

Journal of Surfactants and Detergents, EarlyView.
Two microemulsion‐based drilling fluids incorporating SSRP were formulated using pine oil, the nonionic surfactant Alkonat L100W, and a glycerol/water solution. The results provide valuable insights into how surfactant‐assisted microemulsion systems can be engineered to enhance the performance and eco‐efficiency of drilling fluids.

Nutritional and sensory characteristics of local and hybrid East African Highland cooking bananas: Implications for breeding programs

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Bananas (Musa species) are an important staple food and cash crop in many parts of the world. The East African Highland cooking bananas form the backbone of food security for millions of Ugandans. The demand for high quality cooking bananas is thus closely linked to their sensory characteristics (which drive consumer preference) and

Aluminizing of Austenitic Stainless Steel - Thermodynamic and Kinetic Modeling

, 2020
The deleterious effects of corrosion are mitigated by the application of coatings that can form a protective oxide layer. Halide Activated Pack Cementation (HAPC) is a coating method in which a halide vapor is generated within a pack and undergoes ...

Functional alignment in robotic total knee arthroplasty provides favourable outcomes and minimal early revisions: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Functional alignment (FA) has emerged as a personalised alignment strategy in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), enabled by robotic‐assisted technology. Although early clinical results are encouraging, evidence remains heterogeneous and long‐term safety is uncertain.

Mechanical axis correction after total knee arthroplasty alters ankle alignment but does not affect ankle function

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) restores knee function, but correction of coronal plane deformities may alter the biomechanics of adjacent joints. This study aimed to determine whether changes in knee alignment after TKA have clinical or radiological effects on the ankle.

Increased radiolucency on conventional radiographs around tibial components does not imply more load‐induced displacement of a total knee arthroplasty

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose After total knee arthroplasty (TKA), radiolucent lines on routine conventional radiographs are commonly interpreted as impaired tibial component fixation, although their relation to implant motion remains unclear. This necessitates a comparison with measured component displacement.

Hearing Preservation Rates After Cochlear Implantation Using Soft Surgery Techniques

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To determine if hearing preservation rates after cochlear implantation varied over time with soft surgery techniques. Methods The hearing preservation rate over time in adult cochlear implant patients over 10 years was analyzed. The association between hearing preservation rate and sex, age, perioperative steroid dose, and type of ...

Polymaterial Lattice Discrete Particle Model for the Optimization of Lightweight Aggregate Concrete: Intragranular Fracture and Compression Behavior

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) offers clear advantages for sustainable construction, including reduced density and improved thermal insulation. However, its mechanical and fracture behavior is difficult to characterize due to the heterogeneity and brittle crushing of porous lightweight aggregates.
