Selection of temperature and power parameters for multi-modular lunar jet penetrator [PDF]
The questions and the particularity of the choice of design parameters of multi-module lunar jet penetrators are considered. A constructive layout of the penetrator is proposed and the advantages of a multi-modular design are presented.

How good are large language models at product risk assessment?
Abstract Product safety professionals must assess the risks to consumers associated with the foreseeable uses and misuses of products. In this study, we investigate the utility of generative artificial intelligence (AI), specifically large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, across a number of tasks involved in the product risk assessment process ...

A functionally graded oxide scale comprising a dense top layer and an underlying fine‐grained layer with a grain size gradient forms on a multicomponent (Hf,Zr,Ti)B2 coating through Ti content optimization. The former is a superior oxygen barrier, and the latter ensures strain tolerance, collectively manifesting the coating's exceptional ablation ...

Liposomes as sustainable delivery systems in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical applications
Overview of liposome preparation methods and applications. Abstract Liposomes are artificial microscopic vesicles composed of phospholipid bilayers with the ability to encapsulate both hydrophobic and hydrophilic molecules, owing to the amphipathic nature of lipids.

Throttleable Solid Propellants Through Embedded Shape Memory Alloy and Resistance Wires
Throttling behavior of expanding propellants ABSTRACT Solid propellants are used in propulsion systems for their high performance, feasibility to manufacture, long shelf life, and ease of storage and handling; however, they are limited by the inability to actively control the burning rate.

Calculating Nozzle Side Loads using Acceleration Measurements of Test-Based Models [PDF]
As part of a NASA/MSFC research program to evaluate the effect of different nozzle contours on the well-known but poorly characterized "side load" phenomena, we attempt to back out the net force on a sub-scale nozzle during cold-flow testing using ...

Mechanical properties of MoW–HfN surrogate cermet fuel for nuclear thermal propulsion
Abstract The mechanical performance of MoW‐HfN, a surrogate cermet for MoW‐UN Nuclear Thermal Propulsion (NTP) fuel, was characterized from room temperature to 1600°C. The modulus of elasticity and flexure strength were obtained from four‐point bend tests.
