The flow parameter measurement of the gas-liquid two-phase flow in small channels is very crucial and challenging in both academia and industry. Conventional techniques based on radiations, optics, acoustics, or electrics most lose their superiorities in the scenario with small channels due to the spatial limitation and the online and contactless measurement requirements. In addition, the conductive characteristic of the two-phase flow is equivalent to an impedance rather than a resistance due to the existence of multi-phases. The equivalent impedance information of the two-phase flow, especially the imaginary part, is promising to provide more flowing details but has seldom been detected or analyzed. In this paper, a method for the void fraction measurement of bubble/slug flow in small channels is proposed. The method implements void fraction measurement in a contactless way, based on the acquisition of the total impedance information of the gas-liquid two-phase flow. First, a new contactless impedance detection sensor is designed, based on the simulated inductor technique and the analog phase sensitive demodulation technique, to obtain the complete equivalent impedance information of the two-phase fluid. Then, based on the flow pattern identification result, the void fraction measurement model is developed, which is a fusion of the relationships between the void fraction and the real part/the imaginary part of the equivalent impedance information, respectively. Experimental results on prototypes with different inner diameters (2.48, 3.64, and 4.52 mm, respectively) validate the effectiveness of the proposed void fraction method. The maximum void fraction measurement biases are within 5.0%.

This study reports the synthesis of plasmonic hot nanogap networks-in-triangular nanoframes (NITNFs), featuring narrow intraparticle nanogap networks embedded within triangular nanoframes. Starting from Au nanotriangles, Pt NITNFs are synthesized through a cascade reaction involving simultaneous Pt deposition and Au etching in a one-pot process. The Pt NITNFs are then transformed into plasmonically active Au NITNFs via Au coating.

As additive manufacturing (AM) with composite materials becomes more widely used in industry to create high-strength components, it is vital to have quantified material properties that provide designers and engineers accurate data to decide which materials are suitable for their applications. This study replicates the build processes and tensile tests undertaken by AM material manufacturers to compare tensile strengths achieved with those stated on the manufacturers' data sheets. These are important data to research and analyze as either it will corroborate properties given by the manufacturers and provide confidence in the values provided or it will show that the manufacturer's values cannot always be achieved and that designers and engineers must be more critical about the values manufacturers are providing when using the materials in their own applications.

A theoretical model for porous viscoelastoplastic (VEP) materials in the dry state is investigated in this research study. The model is based on the principles of conservation of mass and energy using the rheological dynamic theory (RDT). The model provides expressions for the creep coefficient, Poisson's ratio, modulus of elasticity, damage variable, and strength as a function of porosity and/or void volume fraction (VVF).

The purification of large biotherapeutic modalities such as viral coat proteins, plasmid DNA, mRNA, therapeutic viruses and vesicles is more challenging than the purification of smaller and more established products such as monoclonal antibodies. This is because these entities, due to their large size, have limited access to binding sites present in the pores of conventional resin-based chromatographic media. However, this transport limitation could potentially be exploited for their purification using size exclusion chromatography (SEC).

Background: The potential of carbon ion radiation therapy (CIRT) as a curative treatment for localized prostate cancer (PCa) has garnered attention due to its characteristic dose distribution. We prospectively collected and analyzed over five years to investigate the outcomes of localized PCa treated with CIRT at our institution.
Patients And Methods: The study included patients with histologically confirmed prostate adenocarcinoma.
