Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are materials capable of changing their structural configuration from a fixed shape to a temporary shape, and vice versa when subjected to a thermal stimulus.The present work has investigated the 3D printing process of a shape memory polymer (SMP)-based polyurethane using a material extrusion technology.Here, SMP pellet
To look or not to look: Subliminal abrupt-onset cues influence constrained free-choice saccades
Subliminal cues have been shown to capture attention and modulate manual response behaviour but their impact on eye movement behaviour is not well-studied.In two experiments, we examined if subliminal cues influence constrained free-choice saccades and if this influence is under strategic control as a function of task-relevancy of the cues.On each
AI Can Be a Powerful Social Innovation for Public Health if Community Engagement Is at the Core
There is a critical need for community engagement in the process of adopting artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in public health.Public health practitioners Conditioner Sets and researchers have historically innovated in areas like vaccination and sanitation but have been slower in adopting emerging technologies such as generative AI.However
Rational structural design of Nile barges
This paper has demonstrated the design aspects for inland water units working in the River Nile.The acting loads and stresses induced within the structural elements of Nile barges are still water bending moment and stresses, local hydrostatic pressure and local stresses.The objective of this work is to rationalize the design procedure using the act
A novel reduced graphene oxide decorated with halloysite nanotubes (HNTs-d-rGO) hybrid composite and its flame-retardant application for polyamide 6
The improvement of flame-retardant properties of polyamide 6 (PA6) was achieved by using reduced graphene oxide decorated with halloysite nanotubes (HNTs-d-rGO) hybrid composite as the additive in PA6 matrix.The intimate integration of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) through a three-step chemical functionalization, enab
