Influence of natural seawater variables on the corrosion behaviour of aluminium-magnesium alloy.

Corrosion is an important issue for alloys in natural seawater, where microorganisms can accelerate or mitigate corrosion. Al-Mg alloys are used for marine activities and various associated technologies. Here, the behaviour of AA5083 alloy was investigated in natural seawater with marine exposure lasting up to 50 days and detailing the first 8 days in two experimental series.

Organic Bio-Based Aerogel from Food Waste: Preparation and Hydrophobization.

In this work, organic aerogels from spent ground coffee and apple pomace were prepared and characterized for the first time. Apple aerogel was found to be much lighter than that from coffee (0.19 vs.

Bayesian network analysis reveals the interplay of intracranial aneurysm rupture risk factors.

Clinical decision making regarding the treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (IA) benefits from a better understanding of the interplay of IA rupture risk factors. Probabilistic graphical models can capture and graphically display potentially causal relationships in a mechanistic model. In this study, Bayesian networks (BN) were used to estimate IA rupture risk factors influences.

Effects of Low and High Aneurysmal Wall Shear Stress on Endothelial Cell Behavior: Differences and Similarities.

Intracranial aneurysms (IAs) result from abnormal enlargement of the arterial lumen. IAs are mostly quiescent and asymptomatic, but their rupture leads to severe brain damage or death. As the evolution of IAs is hard to predict and intricates medical decision, it is essential to improve our understanding of their pathophysiology.
