This paper deals with the experimental and numerical characterization of a high damping CuAlMn sheet with a martensitic micro-structure at ambient temperature. A Cu-Al-Mn shape memory alloy containing 11.65 wt.% of Al and 3 wt.% of Mn, was cast and hot rolled to the thickness of 0.4-0.3 mm. Transformation temperatures, micro-structure and mechanical properties were studied. Effects of the heat treatment on damping were investigated, identifying the proper heat treatment to obtain a higher damping. Having to model the amplitude dependent damping of the material investigated, a material model was developed based of cyclic behavior under traction-compression load. The model was validated with experiments on the non-linear damping of the material.

The recovery of valuable materials from spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has experienced increasing demand in recent years. Current recycling technologies are typically energy-intensive and are often plagued by high operation costs, low processing efficiency, and environmental pollution concerns. In this study, an efficient and environmentally friendly dielectrophoresis (DEP)-based approach is proposed to separate the main components of "black mass" mixtures from LIBs, specifically lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and graphite, based on their polarizability differences.

Nevertheless, condensates have been shown to interact with lipid membranes in diverse biological processes, such as autophagy and T-cell activation. Since many condensates are known to have a net surface charge density and associated electric potential(s), we hypothesized that they can induce a local membrane potential.

The enzymatic reaction kinetics on cellulose and other solid substrates is limited by the access of the enzyme to the reactive substrate sites. We introduce a general model in which the reaction rate is determined by the active surface area, and the resulting kinetics consequently reflects the evolving relationship between the exposed substrate surface and the remaining substrate volume. Two factors influencing the overall surface-to-volume ratio are considered: the shape of the substrate particles, characterized by a single numerical parameter related to its dimensionality, and the distribution of the particle sizes.

Background: A health assets-based approach seeks to identify health-promoting or protective factors across multiple levels. Evidence of the health assets of refugees at the individual, family, and community levels in Australia is scarce. We aimed to synthesise current evidence from Australia to identify refugee health assets and explore how they influence health and well-being.
