Comparative strength analysis of two popular options of the radial centrifugal fan impeller design used in horizontal conveyor dryer for fine-grained raw materials is presented. Three types of materials for impeller manufacturing-ASTM A36 steel, Hardox 450 steel and aluminium alloy 6061-T6 are considered. The finite element method (FEM) has been used to investigate stresses and deformations of the impeller within the operational speed range. Analysis shows that the better design is the impeller made of Hardox 450 steel with a central disk. Although the maximum stress is slightly higher in the blades slot for central disk fitting for this design option, it has greatly reduced stresses in contact edges with two other disks (by 22-38%) and blades bending deformation (by 51%). For this design, the maximum operational rotation speed is 1135 min-1 according to the yield strength with a 15% safety factor, while for basic design, it is 1225 min-1. The rational choice of material depends on maximum value of the yield stress to density ratio as well as taking into account the operating conditions and required fan performance. Recommendations for manufacturing the centrifugal fan impeller related to chosen material are given.

Higher-order DNA nanomaterials have emerged as programmable tools for probing biological processes, constructing metamaterials, and manipulating mechanically active nanodevices with the multifunctionality and high-performance attributes. However, their utility is limited by intricate mixtures formed during hierarchical multistage assembly, as standard techniques like gel electrophoresis lack the resolution and applicability needed for precise characterization and enrichment. Thus, it is urgent to develop a sorter that provides high separation resolution, broad scope, and bioactive functionality.

Blades are the core components of rotating machinery, and the blade vibration status directly impacts the working efficiency and safe operation of the equipment. The blade tip timing (BTT) technique provides a solution for blade vibration monitoring and is currently a prominent topic in research on blade vibration issues. Nevertheless, the non-stationary factors present in actual engineering applications introduce inaccuracies in the BTT technique, resulting in blade vibration measurement errors.

Objectives: Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are nanosized vesicles with biological activities that exist in milk, playing functional roles in immunity, gut balance, and the nervous system. Currently, little is known about the impact of processing on milk sEVs.
Methods: In this study, sEVs were collected from raw goat milk (g-sEV), pasteurized goat milk (pg-sEV), and goat milk powder (-sEV) using a sucrose cushion centrifugation combined with qEV chromatography.

Artificial simulated communication networks inspired by molecular communication in organisms use biological and chemical molecules as information carriers to realize information transmission. However, the design of programmable, multiplexed and general simulation models remains challenging. Here, we develop a DNA nanostructure recognition-based artificial molecular communication network (DR-AMCN), in which rectangular DNA origami nanostructures serve as nodes and their recognition as edges.

Halogenated organic pollutants (HOPs) have attracted considerable attention owing to their persistence, bioaccumulation, and toxicity. The development of methods to detect HOPs in fish is challenging owing to the compositional complexity of fish matrices, which contain high levels of lipids and relatively low concentrations of HOPs. In addition, the lipophilicity of most HOPs renders their extraction difficult.
