The structure of foam sound absorbers is not strictly regular, and it is difficult to create a geometric model. In this study, a method for estimating the sound absorption properties of foam sound absorbers with the membrane removed was proposed based on computed tomography (CT) scan images: the circumference of the structure and the cross-sectional area of the voids in the foam cross-section were determined from CT scans of foam materials. The propagation constant and characteristic impedance at the voids were obtained by approximating the foam material cross-section as the clearance between two planes, and the transfer matrix method was used to calculate the normal incident sound absorption coefficient. Further, the sound absorption coefficient was theoretically derived using the effective density with the measured tortuosity applied and compared with the experimental value using a two-microphone impedance measuring tube. By extracting the skeletal part of foam materials by using image processing and removing the residual noise in CT images, and then varying the correction factor for the skeleton surface area, the theoretical value of the sound-absorbing foam without a membrane was closer to the measured value.

Silica-based aerogels are widely regarded as promising sound-absorbing materials due to their low density and high specific surface area. However, their hard surface and small pores hinder sound wave penetration, resulting in a relatively poor sound absorption performance. To overcome this limitation, our study employs melamine foam (MF) as a scaffold to construct a gradient aerogel composite acoustic absorber.

Introduction: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is known for its high malignancy, limited clinical treatment options, and poor chemotherapy outcomes. Although some advancements have been made using nanotechnology-based chemotherapy for TNBC treatment, the controlled and on-demand release of chemotherapeutic drugs at the tumor site remains a challenge.
Methods: We manufactured DOX/BaTiO@cRGD-Lip (DBRL) nanoparticles as an ultrasound (US)-controlled release platform targeting the delivery of Doxorubicin (DOX) for TNBC treatment.

It is a great challenge to prepare lightweight porous materials with high-efficiency broadband sound absorption and good mechanical properties. In this work, a series of melamine foams (MF) which were decorated by silver (Ag) and cellulose nanofiber (CNF) were prepared by the in-situ deposition and freeze-drying method. The deposition of Ag particles on the foam skeleton formed nanopores, and hierarchical porous structures were constructed along with the existence of micropores in MF.

Ses i 3 is one of the major allergens in sesame, and this study aimed to investigate the effect and mechanism of ultrasound-assisted glycation on the potential allergenicity of Ses i 3. Results showed that the IgG and IgE binding of Ses i 3 was significantly reduced after ultrasound-assisted glycation, and the KU812 cell degranulation results showed a significantly decrease of degranulation in the ultrasound-assisted glycation group, suggesting a reduction in the allergenicity of Ses i 3. Subsequently, results from the contents of free amino groups and available lysine showed that ultrasound pretreatment facilitated the glycation reaction.
