Addressing loess salinisation is a crucial element in preserving ecological stability and fostering sustainable development in the northwest Loess Plateau. To investigate the impacts of salt solution on the properties of loess, independently designed salt solution-loess dynamic cyclic erosion equipment was used to soak the loess. Then, numerous tests were performed to analyse the variability of the effects of salt solution concentrations (SSC) and type, as well as the duration of soaking time, on these physico-mechanical properties.

The family Myliobatidae, including manta rays and their relatives, exhibit further modifications associated with invasion of the pelagic environment, and the evolution of underwater flight. Notably, the pectoral fins are split into two domains with independent functions that are optimized for feeding and oscillatory locomotion.

HA/Fe composites were prepared by powder metallurgy. The effects of ball milling time, pressing pressure, and sintering temperature on the porosity and hardness of the composites were investigated, and their mechanical properties and biocompatibility were evaluated. The results show that as the ball milling time increases (30∼60min), the average particle size initially decreases and then increases (82.

Severe infantile tracheobronchomalacia (TBM) is often treated with invasive surgery and fixed-size implants to support the trachea during respiration. A novel 3D-printed extra-luminal splint has been developed as a flexible and bioresorbable alternative. Therefore, the goal of the present study was to use an in vitro breathing simulator model to comprehensively evaluate the structural stiffness and failure modes of two sizes of a novel bioresorbable 3D-printed splint design under a range of physiological degradation conditions.
