Modeling linear and nonlinear viscoelastic oscillatory rheometric stress-strain hysteresis of asphalt binders.

Understanding the complex stress-strain hysteresis behavior of asphalt binders under varied conditions is critical for optimizing pavement performance. This study addresses the challenge by analyzing and modeling asphalt binder responses in oscillating shear mode across different aging states (unaged, short-term aged, and long-term aged), stretch amplitudes, frequencies, and temperatures. Fifty-three stress-strain hysteresis loops were meticulously analyzed, revealing distinct stress paths relative to applied stretch levels.

Gamma radiation-induced synthesis of novel PVA/Ag/CaTiO nanocomposite film for flexible optoelectronics.

A flexible nanocomposite film based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), silver nanoparticles, and calcium titanate (CaTiO) was synthesized using gamma radiation induced-reduction. Temperature-dependent structural, optical, DC electrical conductivity, electric modulus, and dielectric properties of PVA/Ag/CaTiO nanocomposite film were investigated. The XRD pattern proved the successful preparation of the nanocomposite film.

Recycled high-density polyethylene plastic reinforced with ilmenite as a sustainable radiation shielding material.

In this work, recycled high-density polyethylene plastic (r-HDPE) reinforced with ilmenite mineral (Ilm) in different ratios (0, 15, 30, and 45 wt%) as a sustainable and flexible radiation shielding material was manufactured using the melt blending method. XRD patterns and FTIR spectra demonstrated that the polymer composite sheets were successfully developed. The morphology and elemental composition were addressed using SEM images and EDX spectra.

Irreducible inflamed inguinal hernia with infected gangrenous omentum after laparoscopic appendectomy: a case report.

We reported a rare complication of laparoscopic appendectomy in a 19-year-old patient, who was admitted with acute appendicitis and had no history of inguinal hernia. He underwent laparoscopic appendectomy for suppurative appendicitis. Eight days later, he presented with irreducible incarcerated right inguinal hernia.

1,2-Dihydroxyanthraquinone: Synthesis, and induced changes in the structural and optical properties of the nanostructured thin films due to γ-irradiation.

1,2‑Dihydroxyanthraquinone (Alizarin-AZ) is available, low-cost organic compound. Besides, AZ has multiple applications owing to its drawing attention photoactivity. This paper is devoted to study the influence of Gamma irradiation on the morphology, optical, and dielectric properties of AZ nanostructured thin films.
