Published: November 2019

Dielectric relaxation measurements, in combination with density determinations, on tetramethyl tetraphenyl trisiloxane (DC704) over an unusually broad range of temperatures and pressures revealed a state-point dependency in its density scaling exponent. This is the first unambiguous experimental demonstration of a breakdown of density scaling in a nonassociated glass-forming material, and unanticipated for DC704, among the "simplest" of liquids, having a constant breadth of the relaxation dispersion and a Prigogine-Defay ratio near unity characteristic of approximate single-parameter systems. We speculate that the anomalous behavior has origins in the large value of its scaling exponent and relative flexibility of the chemical structure.

Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, Monash University, Clayton, VIC 3800, Australia.

This study presents a novel approach for monitoring waste substrate digestion under high-density polyethylene (HDPE) geomembranes in sewage treatment plants. The method integrates infrared thermal imaging with a clustering algorithm to predict the distribution of various substrates beneath Traditional outdoor large-scale opaque geomembranes, using solar radiation as an excitation source. The technique leverages ambient weather conditions to assess the thermal responses of HDPE covers.

High Speed Sintering of Polyamide 12: From Powder to Part Properties.

Polymers (Basel)

December 2024

Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA, Universitaetsstrasse 9, 95447 Bayreuth, Germany.

High Speed Sintering (HSS) is an additive manufacturing process with great potential to produce complex, high-quality polymer parts on an industrial scale. However, little information is currently available on the characteristics of the powder materials used and the part properties that can be achieved. This is also the case for the standard material polyamide 12 (PA 12) and the first commercially available HSS machine, the VX200 HSS.

Menopause leads to a decline in estrogen levels, resulting in significant metabolic alterations that increase the risk of developing metabolic syndrome-a cluster of conditions including central obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. Traditional interventions such as hormone replacement therapy carry potential adverse effects, and lifestyle modifications alone may not suffice for all women. This review explores the potential role of palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), an endogenous fatty acid amide, in managing metabolic syndrome during the postmenopausal period.

Objectives: To explore whether the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and the triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio are associated with the trajectories of depressive symptoms.

Methods: In this longitudinal study, 4215 participants aged 45 years and older were recruited from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study from 2011 to 2018. The trajectories of depressive symptoms, measured by the 10-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD-10), were identified using group-based trajectory modeling.

Gold recovery from refractory pyrite-arsenopyrite concentrates using stirred tank reactor biooxidation is widely applied worldwide. Therefore, studies to address the characteristic problem of this technology are urgent. The goal of the present work was to research the possibility of counteracting the negative effects of unfavorable conditions (increasing pulp density and temperature) on the biooxidation of pyrite-arsenopyrite concentrate in laboratory-scale stirred tank reactors using additional carbon supply in the form of CO.
