In this paper, the previously proposed shaft-loaded blister test technique for the synchronous characterization of the surface and interface mechanical properties of a thin-film/substrate system is further studied theoretically. The large deflection problem of the steady shaft-loaded blistering thin film is reformulated by surrendering the small-rotation-angle assumption of the membrane, which was previously adopted in the out-of-plane and in-plane equilibrium and radial geometric equations. A new and more accurate analytical solution to this large deflection problem is presented and is used to improve the previously presented synchronous characterization theory. The new analytical solution is numerically compared with the previous analytical solution to confirm the superiority of the new analytical solution over the previous analytical solution. An experiment is conducted to verify the beneficial effect of the improved synchronous characterization theory on improving the characterization accuracy.

The oxidation of 5-HMF to HMFCA is an important yet complex process, as it generates high-value chemical intermediates. Achieving this transformation efficiently requires the development of non-precious, highly active catalysts derived from renewable biomass sources. In this work, we introduce UoM-1 (UoM, University of Mazandaran), a novel cobalt-based metal-organic framework (Co-MOF) synthesized using a simple one-step ultrasonic irradiation method.

Electroosmosis and surcharge preloading represent two effective soil consolidation methodologies. Their combined application has been proven to be effective in shortening the consolidation period and mitigating the degradation of electroosmotic consolidation performance due to crack generation. In this study, an axisymmetric free-strain consolidation analytical model incorporating a continuous drainage top boundary was established.

This paper presents an analytical solution derived with force method for the internal forces in the ring lining of maglev train tunnels, which are typically in a circular section and shallowly buried with low vacuum air pressure in the lining. The model incorporates the vacuum pressure induced by the differences in air pressures outside and inside the lining, and the vacuum pressure is assumed to be the active load exerting to the outside of the lining. The model assumes the vertical overburden acting on the lining is proportional to the soil depth at every particular point along the tunnel lining circumference.

Physical and photophysical properties of starch-based biopolymer films containing 5-(4-nitrophenyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-amine (NTA) powder as a nanofiller were examined using atomic force microscopy (AFM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), stationary UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy as well as resonance light scattering (RLS) and time-resolved measurements, and where possible, analyzed with reference to pristine NTA solutions. AFM studies revealed that the addition of NTA into the starch biopolymer did not significantly affect surface roughness, with all examined films displaying similar Sq values ranging from 70.7 nm to 79.

Background: Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) is defined as feeding infants only breast milk of the mother or a wet nurse for the first six months, without additional food or liquids except the oral rehydration solution or drops/syrups of vitamins, minerals or medicines. The working status of women in developed countries adversely affects the EBF rates, which calls for an assessment in rapidly developing countries like India. Therefore, the primary aim of the present study is to determine the prevalence of EBF using the data from the National Family Health Surveys (NFHS 3, 4, 5) conducted between 2005 and 06, 2015-16 and 2019-21 to estimate the likelihood EBF according to mothers' employment status.
