The reliability of carotid ultrasound in determining the return of pulsatile flow: A pilot study.

Manual palpation of pulses is unreliable in detecting pulsatile flow in human participants, complicating the assessment of return of spontaneous circulation after cardiac arrest. Ultrasound may offer an alternative. This study's objective was to investigate whether return of pulsatile flow in humans can be reliably assessed by common carotid artery ultrasound.

Icephobic Behavior of UV-Cured Polymer Networks Incorporated into Slippery Lubricant-Infused Porous Surfaces: Improving SLIPS Durability.

Ice accretion causes damage on power generation infrastructure, leading to mechanical failure. Icephobic materials are being researched so that ice buildup on these surfaces will be shed before the weight of the ice causes catastrophic damage. Lubricated materials have imposed the lowest-recorded forces of ice adhesion, and therefore lubricated materials are considered the state-of-the-art in this area.
