The Shan and Chen single component multiphase lattice Boltzmann model is used to simulate homogeneous and heterogeneous cavitation. The simulations show excellent agreement with the equation of state for homogeneous cavitation and with energy considerations based on interface formation and bubble expansion for heterogeneous cavitation.

Sorption processes are critical for the drying and durability of cement-based materials, directly affecting their thermal properties. Temperature can substantially influence these processes. This work uses molecular simulations to study sorption in C-S-H pores under varying temperatures and relative humidity, considering pore sizes from the gel to the interlayer scale (between 11.

In many terrestrial habitats, plants experience temporal heterogeneity in water availability both at the intra and inter annual scales, creating dry-wet pulse scenarios. This variability imposes two concomitant challenges for plants: surviving droughts and efficiently utilizing water when it becomes available, whose responses are closely interconnected. To date, most studies have focused on the response to drought following static designs that do not consider consequences of repeated transitions from one state to the other.

Article Synopsis
- * Traditional ultrasound thermometry struggles with high temperatures (over 50 °C) due to reliance on backscattered signals, prompting the exploration of AI for improved monitoring.
- * An AI-driven method called Breath-guided Multimodal Teacher-Student (BMTS) has been developed, achieving accurate temperature reconstruction with errors of just 0.8 °C and a measurement speed of 0.37 seconds, extending the maximum detectable temperature to 67 °C, enhancing future HIFU therapy planning.

Significant knowledge gaps remain in our understanding of the reproductive physiology and diseases of elasmobranchs. The objective of this work is to describe the clinical, imaging, and pathologic findings associated with polycystic ovaries in cownose rays housed in public aquariums. Ten adult female cownose rays Rhinoptera bonasus housed in 4 public aquariums presented with variable nonspecific (lethargy, anorexia, cutaneous discoloration) or no clinical signs.

This study aims to optimize the reduction of free fatty acids (FFAs) in palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD) using hydrodynamic cavitation reactors (HCRs) in series and a solid acid catalyst for biodiesel production. Hydrodynamic cavitation is used to accelerate the esterification of FFAs using a heterogeneous acid catalyst. There are three HCRs units, and each HCR composed of a 3D-printed rotor and stator, is separated by flanges and equipped with a basket for holding Amberlyst-15 catalyst.
