Turbomachinery engines face significant failure risks due to the combination of thermal loads and high-amplitude vibrations in turbine and compressor blades. Accurate stress distribution measurements are critical for enhancing the performance and safety of these systems. Blade tip timing (BTT) has emerged as an advanced alternative to traditional measurement methods, capturing blade dynamics by detecting deviations in blade tip arrival times through sensors mounted on the stator casing.

Autonomous technologies have revolutionized transportation, military operations, and space exploration, necessitating precise localization in environments where traditional GPS-based systems are unreliable or unavailable. While widespread for outdoor localization, GPS systems face limitations in obstructed environments such as dense urban areas, forests, and indoor spaces. Moreover, GPS reliance introduces vulnerabilities to signal disruptions, which can lead to significant operational failures.

Aero-engines, particularly turbofan engines, are highly complex systems that play a critical role in the aviation industry. As core components of modern aircraft, they provide the thrust necessary for flight and are essential for safe and efficient operations. However, the complexity and interconnected nature of these engines also make them vulnerable to failures and, in the context of intelligent systems, potential cyber-attacks.

One of the most critical components of reinforced concrete structures are beam-column joint systems, which greatly affect the overall behavior of a structure during a major seismic event. According to modern design codes, if the system fails, it should fail due to the flexural yielding of the beam and not due to the shear failure of the joint. Thus, a reliable tool is required for the prediction of the failure mode of the joints in a preexisting population of structures.

Skin inflammation represents a hallmark of many skin conditions, from psoriasis to eczema. Here, we present a novel microemulsion formulation for delivering a low dose of potent immunosuppressant, tacrolimus, to the skin for local inflammation control. The efficacy of topically delivered tacrolimus in controlling skin inflammation can be enhanced by packaging it into microemulsions.
