This study investigates the characteristics and performance of ceramic coatings fabricated on 2024 aluminum alloy surfaces using the scanning plasma electrolytic oxidation (SPEO) process. The effects of various scanning parameters, including discharge gap, scanning frequency, scanning speed, and overlap rate, on coating properties were systematically examined. The coatings were characterized using potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), microhardness testing, roughness analysis, and thickness measurement. The results reveal that optimizing scanning parameters significantly enhances coating performance. The SPEO process enables efficient localized coating deposition through progressive scanning, achieving performance comparable to that of conventional full-surface PEO. Although the high current density associated with the SPEO process generates more surface pores and microcracks, which slightly affect hardness, roughness, and corrosion resistance, the differences are minimal and acceptable for most applications. Furthermore, the SPEO process demonstrates high efficiency in repairing large or complex components, highlighting its significant potential for industrial applications.

A fully plant-based wall material, quinoa protein isolate-gum Arabic (QPI-GA) complex coacervate, was developed for stability improvement of different spice essential oils (EOs): Sichuan pepper EO (SPEO), ginger EO (GEO), and star anise EO (SAEO). The optimum pH and QPI-to-GA ratio to form QPI-GA coacervates were experimentally confirmed to be 3.6 and 4:1.

Quinoa protein isolate-gum Arabic coacervates (QPI-GA coacervates) was cross-linked with sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) to enhance their physicochemical properties. The optimum concentration of STPP for cross-linking was determined experimentally to be 0.2 g/g of QPI-GA mixture.

Introduction: The aim of the study was to investigate the occurrence of balance disorders in children after mild head trauma.
Material And Methods: Ninety patients after mild head trauma, aged 7-18 years, were examined on a stabilometric platform 48 h and 12 weeks after injury. The results were compared with 50 healthy children.

Three types of stearyl poly(ethylene oxide) (SPEO) with Mn of 2,300, 6,000 and 12,000 were synthesized; accordingly, three types of amphiphilic coupling-polymer SPEO-MDI-SPEO (MSPEO) were prepared by the reactions with 4,4'-methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI). As the surface-modifying additives (SMA), MSPEOs were coated onto the outer wall of the medical guiding catheters. Due to the lack of stability, when coated, MSPEO blended with the film building agent (FBA), poly(ether urethane) (PEL).
