Abstract Background This study aimed to develop and assess a bedside nasojejunal tube placement technique designed for resource‐limited settings to address the specific challenges of enteral nutrition (EN) delivery in neurocritical care patients, particularly those at high risk of reflux and aspiration. The technique sought to overcome the drawbacks of

Exploring the Tribological Properties of 3D Printed Polymer Composites: An Experimental Study
Tribological pin‐on‐disc testing of FDM‐manufactured pins. Pins made from PLA, TPU, bronze‐filled PLA (BRO), and their combinations were tested against a SAE 1020 steel disc to evaluate friction, wear, and surface morphology. ABSTRACT In recent years, additive manufacturing, especially 3D printing, has been gaining more space in the production of parts

Modeling Fiber Dispersion in a Single‐Screw Extruder for Long Fiber‐Reinforced Thermoplastics
Fiber dispersion throughout the screw channel ABSTRACT Understanding the mechanics of fiber attrition during the plasticizing process is important in predicting the strength of long fiber‐reinforced thermoplastics (LFT) composites. Fiber dispersion has been found to impact fiber damage during processing and therefore final fiber length in the final ...
