Shearing of a simple nonpolar film, right after the liquid-to-solid phase transition under nanometer confinement, is studied by using a liquid-vapor molecular dynamics simulation method. We find that, in contrast with the shear melting and recrystallization behavior of the solidlike phase during the stick-slip motion, interlayer slips within the film and wall slips at the wall-film interface are often observed. The ordered solidified film is well maintained during the slip. Through the time variations of the frictional force and potential energy change within the film, we find that both the friction dissipation during the slip and the potential energy decay after the slip in the solidified film take a fairly large portion of the total energy dissipation.

Physiological and hematological traits and productive performance of Spanish Majorera and Palmera goats reared on the Island of Tenerife-Spain were assessed. 50 adult, clinically healthy, multiparous female goats were studied for 18 months. The data were analyzed in a two (breeds) x four (season) factorial scheme.

Phosphogypsum is the main industrial solid waste from wet process phosphoric acid production, which has significant potential for environmental sustainability and engineering applications when modified. In order to explore the mechanical properties of modified phosphogypsum (MG) in different loading environments, uniaxial compression tests were conducted at four loading rates: 0.03, 0.

Plastic damage of REBCO (REBaCuO, where RE=rare earth) coated conductors by screening current stress (SCS) is a significant concern for ultra-high-field superconducting magnets. Indeed, the third Little Big Coil (LBC3), a REBCO magnet that generated a record, high field of 45.5 T, showed wavy plastic damage produced by excess SCS in all pancakes except two made with single-slit conductors having their slit edges pointing inward towards the magnet center.

Penetrating orocutaneous or oropharyngeal fistulas (POFs), severe complications following unsuccessful oral or oropharyngeal reconstruction, remain complex clinical challenges due to lack of supportive tissue, contamination with saliva and chewed food, and dynamic oral environment. Here, we present a Janus hydrogel adhesive (JHA) with asymmetric functions on opposite sides fabricated via a facile surface enzyme-initiated polymerization (SEIP) approach, which self-entraps surface water and blood within an in-situ formed hydrogel layer (RL) to effectively bridge biological tissues with a supporting hydrogel (SL), achieving superior wet-adhesion and seamless wound plugging. The tough SL hydrogel interlocked with RL dissipates energy to withstand external mechanical stimuli from continuous oral motions like chewing and swallowing, thus reducing stress-induced damage.
