Since ceramic layers coated on machinery components inevitably experience the changes in their properties it is necessary to evaluate the characteristics of ceramic coating layers nondestructively for the reliable use of coated components and the remaining life prediction. To address such a need, in the present study, the ultrasonic backward radiation technique is applied to examine the very thin TiN ceramic layers coated on AISI 1045 steel or austenitic 304 steel substrate. Specifically, the ultrasonic backward radiation profiles have been measured with variations in specimen preparation conditions such as coating layer thickness and sliding loading. In the experiments performed in the current study, the peak angle and the peak amplitude of ultrasonic backward radiation profile varied sensitively according to two specimen preparation conditions. In fact, this result demonstrates a high possibility of the ultrasonic backward radiation as an effective tool for the nondestructive characterization of the TiN ceramic coating layers even in such a thin regime.

East Slovak Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases and School of Medicine, Pavol Jozef Safarik University, Kosice, Slovakia.
Background: Echocardiography is widely used to assess aortic stenosis (AS) but can yield inconsistent results, leading to uncertainty about AS severity and the need for further diagnostics. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate a novel echocardiography-based marker, the signal intensity coefficient (SIC), for its potential in accurately identifying and quantifying calcium in AS, enhancing noninvasive diagnostic methods.
Methods: Between May 2022 and October 2023, 112 cases of AS that were previously considered severe by echocardiography were retrospectively evaluated, as well as a group of 50 cases of mild or moderate AS, both at the Eastern Slovak Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases in Kosice, Slovakia.
Development and Validation of a Risk Mortality Prediction Model for Patients with Pulmonary Tuberculosis Complicated by Severe Community-Acquired Pneumonia in the Intensive Care Unit.

Center of Infectious Diseases, West China Hospital of Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, 610041, People's Republic of China.
Purpose: The mortality rate from pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) complicated by severe community-acquired pneumonia (SCAP) in the intensive care unit (ICU) remains high. We aimed to develop a rapid and simple model for the early assessment and stratification of prognosis in these patients.
Patients And Methods: All adult patients with PTB complicated by SCAP admitted to the ICU of a tertiary hospital in Chengdu, Sichuan, China between 2019 and 2021 (development cohort) and 2022 (validation cohort) were retrospectively included.
Mode conversion of fundamental guided ultrasonic wave modes at part-thickness crack-like defects.
Ultrasonics
August 2024
Department of Mechanical Engineering, University College London (UCL), London, UK.
Guided ultrasonic waves can be employed for efficient structural health monitoring (SHM) and non-destructive evaluation (NDE), as they can propagate long distances along thin structures. The scattering (S mode) and mode conversion of low frequency guided waves (S to A and SH wave modes) at part-thickness crack-like defects was studied to quantify the defect detection sensitivity. Three-dimensional (3D) Finite Element (FE) modelling was used to predict the mode conversion and scattering of the fundamental guided wave modes.

In ultrasonic reflection method, the precision of defect detection in thick carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) is compromised by acoustic energy attenuation. An energy-compensation reverse time migration (ECRTM) method is proposed to identify multiple defects accurately. Forward and backward wavefields are formed using the finite element method within an anisotropic acoustic model based on the Christoffel equation and Bond transformation.

Ultrasound is an effective tool for both diagnostic and therapeutic applications. As an imaging tool, ultrasound has mostly been used for real-time noninvasive diagnostic imaging. As ultrasound propagates through a material, a reflected radio-frequency (RF) signal is generated when encountering a mismatch in acoustic impedance.
