Kinetics of Dimensional Changes in Glutinous Rice at Different Rice-Water Ratio and Soaking Time

Journal of Engineering and Sustainable Development
White glutinous or sticky rice must be soaked in water before cooking to gelatinize its starch. There has been limited work into the dimensional changes of soaked glutinous rice, owing to differences in rice-to-water ratios and soaking times.

Strong Lead‐Free Bioinspired Piezoceramics for Durable Energy Transducers

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We fabricated brick‐and‐mortar lead‐free piezoceramics with Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 monocrystal platelets as bricks and amorphous silica as mortar. The alignment of the bricks and the presence of the amorphous silica led to anisotropic residual stresses. These residual stresses increase the samples toughness, strength and durability while the brick alignment ...

Laboratory Characterization and Discrete Element Modeling of Shrinkage and Cracking Behavior of Soil in Farmland

Agriculture
Soil desiccation cracks are common in farmland under dry conditions, which can alter soil water movement by providing preferential flow paths and thus affect water and fertilizer use efficiency.

Melanin's Role in Balancing Mechanical Strength and Reproductive Output in Environmentally Stressed Fungal Spores

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...

An Integrated Oxygen‐Supplying Device and Predictive Multiphysics Model for Extended Ambient Transport of Insulin‐Producing Cells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Cell therapies typically rely on cold‐chain logistics and cryopreservation, limiting access and compromising cell quality. Here, a dual‐chamber device separates an oxygen‐supplying chamber from a hyaluronic acid cargo chamber, sustaining oxygen delivery for over 70 h and enabling ambient‐temperature shipment.

Examining the Relationship between Water-Equivalent Diameter (Dw) and Body Mass in Breast Cancer Patients

Indonesian Journal of Electronics, Electromedical Engineering, and Medical Informatics
Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer worldwide, necessitating precise imaging techniques for effective treatment planning. This study aims to analyze the Water-Equivalent Diameter (Dw) in breast cancer patients using Computed Tomography (CT) and to investigate its relationship with patient body mass.
