Industrial design

This English-language learning resource introduces the concept, history, and scope of industrial design and contrasts it with craft design and engineering. It includes a reading passage with ten multiple-choice comprehension questions, a pr...

GTApprox: Surrogate modeling for industrial design

Industrial Design

There is a multiplicity of facets, specialisations and skills required to design the matching spectrum of products that are produced. These products range from those where appearance or consumer appeal have high priority, for example in cer...

The Roles of Marketing and Industrial Design in Discontinuous New Product Development *

Radical or “discontinuous” products based on new technological breakthroughs are playing an ever‐increasing role in the success of firms. However, little research has been conducted that investigates the roles of marketing and industrial de...

Health researchers' experience collaborating with patient partners: a qualitative study

Abstract Background Patient-oriented research (POR) and patient engagement (PE) have been increasingly adopted over recent decades, as they generate many positive academic and patient outcomes within various health research fields. While th...

Mediating role of neutrophil-percentage-to-albumin ratio in the association between stroke and heart failure among U.S. adults

Background: Stroke is an independent risk factor for heart failure (HF), and they are both linked to systemic inflammation. The neutrophil-percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR) is a novel inflammation biomarker. However, it is unclear whether ...

Predictivity of bioimpedance phase angle for incident disability in older adults

Abstract Background Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA)‐derived phase angle is expected to be an efficient prognostic marker of health adverse events with aging as an alternative of muscle mass. We aimed to examine the predictive ability...

Effects of electron beam welding on the microstructure and impact properties of three reconstituted steels

Specimen reconstitution technology is important for the in-service safety of reactor pressure vessels (RPVs) in nuclear power plants. To verify the feasibility of electron beam welding for the restructured specimens, the electron beam weldi...

2D materials-based 3D integration for neuromorphic hardware

Abstract Neuromorphic hardware enables energy-efficient computing, which is essential for a sustainable system. Recently, significant progress has been reported in neuromorphic hardware based on two-dimensional materials. However, tradition...

Breaking of Thermopower–Conductivity Trade‐Off in LaTiO3 Film around Mott Insulator to Metal Transition

Abstract Introducing artificial strain in epitaxial thin films is an effective strategy to alter electronic structures of transition metal oxides (TMOs) and to induce novel phenomena and functionalities not realized in bulk crystals. This s...

Soft x-ray high-harmonic generation in an anti-resonant hollow core fiber driven by a 3 μm ultrafast laser

High-harmonic upconversion driven by a mid-infrared femtosecond laser can generate coherent soft x-ray beams in a tabletop-scale setup. Here, we report on a compact ytterbium-pumped optical parametric chirped pulse amplifier (OPCPA) laser s...

The Importance of Rare-Earth Additions in Zr-Based AB2 Metal Hydride Alloys

Effects of substitutions of rare earth (RE) elements (Y, La, Ce, and Nd) to the Zr-based AB2 multi-phase metal hydride (MH) alloys on the structure, gaseous phase hydrogen storage (H-storage), and electrochemical properties were studied and...

Improved object detection method for autonomous driving based on DETR

Object detection is a critical component in the development of autonomous driving technology and has demonstrated significant growth potential. To address the limitations of current techniques, this paper presents an improved object detecti...

Comparative Study of Electrochemical Biosensors Based on Highly Efficient Mesoporous ZrO2‑Ag-G-SiO2 and In2O3‑G-SiO2 for Rapid Recognition of E. coli O157:H7

Recent progress in tailoring Ni-rich layered oxides via coating and doping strategies for enhanced lithium-ion battery performance

Nickel-rich layered oxide cathodes, typified by compositions such as LiNi₁₋ₓ₋ᵧCoₓMnᵧO₂ (NCM) have garnered significant attention as high-energy-density candidates for next-generation lithium-ion batteries. However, their widespread deployme...

Influence of chemical composition and discontinuities on energy transformation and rock mass behaviour: Insights into geological dynamic

Abstract In this study, efforts were made to incorporate the influence of discontinuities and failure modes of rock into the classification of rock masses. The past tectonic activities may create microfractures in the rock body therefore th...

Investigation of the Structural, Electrical, and Optical Properties of the Nano-Scale GZO Thin Films on Glass and Flexible Polyimide Substrates

In this study, Ga2O3-doped ZnO (GZO) thin films were deposited on glass and flexible polyimide (PI) substrates at room temperature (300 K), 373 K, and 473 K by the radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering method. After finding the depositi...

The electrochemical effects of pitch stabilization for supercapacitor-grade activated carbon precursors

Petroleum pitch (PP) is a by-product generated during the petroleum refining process, characterized by its high carbon content, tunable structure, and cost-effectiveness. These attributes have spurred extensive research into its potential a...

Effect of Corrosion Product Films Induced by Tensile Stress on P110 Casing Steels Induced in CO2 Environment
