In an isotropic vortex system of MgCNi_{3} single crystal, we first observed the collapse of the peak effect (PE), which is a sudden increase in the critical current (I_{c}) near the end of superconductivity. By moving magnetic vortices with dc and ac driving currents, we investigated the vortex dynamics related to the PE. For the dc driving, a sharp peak in I_{c} was observed. As the driving frequency increases, the PE was collapsed and observable flux creep was developed in contrast to the result obtained from the well-studied anisotropic system of NbSe_{2}. Because the vortex matter in our experimental situation is isotropic and has large correlation volume without severe deformation by pinning, the mobility of the vortex matter is intrinsically high. From the detailed observation, we are convinced that the PE is definitely a dynamic phenomenon.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of the SaCo videolaryngeal mask airway (VLMA) in combination with a bronchial blocker in patients undergoing minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 120 patients who underwent minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery from January 2022 to December 2023. Patients were grouped based on their treatment methods: 68 patients who received the SaCo VLMA combined with a bronchial blocker intraoperatively were designated as the L group, while 52 patients who received a tracheal tube combined with a bronchial blocker intraoperatively were designated as the E group.

Background: No appropriate studies have been conducted that compare the biomechanical properties of different fenestration positions in deep circumflex iliac artery (DCIA)-vascularized iliac bone grafts for femoral head necrosis (ONFH) treatment. In this study, we aimed to explore the fenestration locations of DCIA-vascularized iliac grafting in ONFH treatment using FEA and clinical retrospective analysis.

Methods: We simulated an iliac bone flap transplantation with a vascularized tip by finite element analysis (FEA).

A metamaterial absorber capable of swiftly altering its electromagnetic response in the microwave range offers adaptability to changing environments, such as tunable stealth capabilities. Inspired by the chameleon's ability to change color through the structural transformation of photonic lattice crystals, which shift the bandgaps of reflection and transmission of visible light, we designed a crisscross structure that transforms from an expanded to a collapsed form. This transformation enables a switch between broadband absorption and peak transmission in the microwave range (4 to 18 gigahertz).

When underground tunnels in coal mines traverse geological structurally abnormal zones (faults, collapse columns, fractured zones, etc.), excavation-induced unloading leads to instability and failure of the engineering rock mass. Rock masses in fractured zones are in elastic, plastic, and post-peak stress states, and the process of excavation through these zones essentially involves unloading under full stress paths.

The collapse of surface goaf beneath highways can result in instability and damage to roadbeds. However, filling the goaf areas with foam concrete can significantly enhance the stability of the roadbeds while considerably reducing the costs of filling materials. This study analyzes the effects on destructive characteristics, mechanical properties, stress-strain curve features, and relevant metrics, while also observing the microstructure of basalt fiber-calcined gangue-silty clay foam concrete (BF-CCG-SCFC).
