Chemical short‐range order (CSRO) plays a central role in governing the behavior of multi‐principal element alloys. This perspective critically assesses computational and experimental approaches for quantifying, characterizing, and validating CSRO, emphasizing modeling–experiment cross‐validation pathways that enable more reliable interpretation of ...

The Power of Unity: Collective Action and Smallholder Agricultural Performance in West Africa
ABSTRACT We analyze the impact of collective action through farmer‐based organizations (FBOs) on smallholders' farm performance and income inequality in Ghana, Benin, The Gambia, and Mali. We find that FBO membership increases cereal yield in Ghana and The Gambia, legume yield in Mali, ruminant numbers in Benin and The Gambia, and total farm income in ...

Multidisciplinary Treatment for Esophagogastric Junction Cancer From a Dutch Perspective
ABSTRACT Esophagogastric junction (EGJ) cancer is an increasing health burden worldwide. Over the past decade, significant advancements in centralization, multimodal treatment strategies, as well as the widespread adoption of minimally invasive surgical techniques, have led to marked improvements in perioperative outcomes and overall survival of EGJ ...

A fluid dynamics-inspired modified reynolds number for microexpression recognition
Facial expressions exhibit a wide range of emotions. They are regulated by neural mechanisms in the brain that are beyond one’s control. Facial expressions are largely involuntary.

CFD modeling and sensitivity‐guided design of silicon filament CVD reactors
Abstract Filament‐based chemical vapor deposition (CVD) for silicon (Si) coatings is often treated as an adaptation of planar deposition. But this overlooks fundamental shifts in transport phenomena and reaction kinetics. In filament CVD, the filament acts as a substrate, heat source, and flow disruptor simultaneously. In this work, we ask: What really

A new drag and lift correlation for spherocylinders from fully resolved Immersed Boundary Method
Abstract Many industrial processes deal with non‐spherical particles, e.g., mineral mining and biomass conversion. It is crucial to understand the particles' hydrodynamics to control and optimize these processes. To extend the current state‐of‐the‐art from arrays of spherical particles to spherocylindrical particles, we performed extensive particle ...

Solid particles focusing, orienting, and de‐focusing in planar Poiseuille flow
Abstract Three‐dimensional, time‐dependent lattice‐Boltzmann simulations of neutrally buoyant particles in planar Poiseuille flow have been performed. The particles are spherical or cylindrical (the latter with a length over diameter ratios in the range 1/3 to 2) and have volume fraction ranging from virtually zero (one particle) to 0.15. The channel's

Abstract Nanofluids containing nanoparticles represent a promising solvent or reaction system for gas–liquid operations. Herein, the effect of nanoparticle (Al2O3 and SiO2) addition on gas–liquid slug flow pattern and mass transfer enhancement was investigated during CO2 absorption into water in microreactors.

NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF TWO ELEMENT CAMBER MORPHING AIRFOIL IN LOW REYNOLDS NUMBER FLOWS [PDF]
Aerodynamic performance of a two-element camber morphing airfoil was investigated at low Reynolds number using the transient SST model in ANSYS FLUENT 14.0 and eN method in XFLR5. The two-element camber morphing concept was employed to morph the baseline
