Inspired by the detachment mechanics of natural adhesive pads, we studied the change in cavity shape during peel tests on a 10% cross-linked polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastic microchannel filled with 1% cross-linked viscous PDMS liquid (patterned bilayer). During peeling, we explored cavity shape as a function of microchannel dimensions and correlated the dimensionless cavity shape factor (CSF) and characteristic stress decay length, K. The peel test on the liquid-filled elastic microchannel shows three distinct cavity-shape regimes, elliptical, circular, and binary, based on the values of CSF and K. Such cavity formation and shape regimes could be important for improving the design of pressure-sensitive adhesives.

A reasonable construction of hollow structures to obtain high-performance absorbers is widely studied, but it is still a challenge to select suitable materials to improve the low-frequency attenuation performance. Here, the FeO@C@NiO nanoprisms with unique tip shapes, asymmetric multi-path hollow cavity, and core-shell heteroepitaxy structure are designed and synthesized based on anisotropy and intrinsic physical characteristics. Impressively, by changing the load of NiO, the composites achieve strong absorption, broadband, low-frequency absorption: the reflection loss of -55.

Through morphological and molecular studies, the natural life cycle of Dollfus, 1960 (Cestoda: Taeniidae) from Argentine Patagonia is elucidated, involving subterranean rodents (Ctenomyidae) as intermediate hosts, and the Andean fox (Canidae) as definitive host. Metacestodes (mono- and polycephalic fimbriocerci) were found mainly in the peritoneal cavity of , and the strobilate adult in the intestine of . Correspondence between metacestodes and strobilate adults was based primarily on number, size and shape of rostellar hooks: 45-53 hooks alternated in two rows, small hooks 88-180 μm long and large hooks 230-280 μm long, with the characteristic shape described in the two main description of the species, both that of the metacestode (original description) and that of the strobilate adult (obtained experimentally).

The numerical analysis examines the attributes of magnetohydrodynamic natural convection in a closed cavity including a circular hollow. Because mono and hybrid nanofluids have many applications in thermal engineering and manufacturing, hybrid nanofluids are utilized as the substance within the entire domain. The investigation centers on a closed, trapezoidal-shaped hollow with a heated surface ring.

Radix entomolaris (RE) characterized by an extra root in mandibular molars is a rare phenotype. When this condition coincides with complex root canal curvatures or S-shaped canals, root canal therapy (RCT) challenges arise. The present study presents three cases of RE along with complex root curvatures.
