We study experimentally at the macroscopic and microstructure scale a dense suspension of non-Brownian neutrally buoyant spherical particles experiencing periodic reversals of flow at constant rate between parallel plates and tracked individually. We first characterize the quasi-steady state reached at the end of half periods. The volume fraction of particles increases from the walls to the center as a result of migration induced by the nonuniform strain rate.

This paper investigates the impact of treatment with chemical solutions of varying pH values on the micro-macroscopic damage in coal samples under load, employing a combination of Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) experiments and uniaxial compression tests. The experimental results show that soaking coal samples in NaOH, HCl, and distilled water for 7 days leads to reductions in uniaxial compressive strength by 39.19%, 47.

Acanthocephalan parasites are often overlooked in many areas of research, and satellitome and cytogenetic analyzes are no exception. The species of the genus Acanthocephalus are known for their very small chromosomes with ambiguous morphology, which makes karyotyping difficult. In this study, we performed the first satellitome analysis of three Acanthocephalus species to identify species- and chromosome-specific satellites that could serve as cytogenetic markers.

Modelling of pollutants provides valuable insights into air quality dynamics, aiding exposure assessment where direct measurements are not viable. Machine learning (ML) models can be employed to explore such dynamics, including the prediction of air pollution concentrations, yet demanding extensive training data. To address this, techniques like transfer learning (TL) leverage knowledge from a model trained on a rich dataset to enhance one trained on a sparse dataset, provided there are similarities in data distribution.
