Ternesite–ye’elimite (TCSA) cement is a new type of environmentally advantageous binder prepared by introducing ternesite, a reactive phase, into belite calcium sulfoaluminate cement clinker. This paper reports the laboratory production of TCSA cement by the addition of minor elements to achieve the coexistence of ternesite and ye’elimite. The infl...
Damage in the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) is related to numerous neurodegenerative diseases and has consequently drawn the attention of Tissue Engineering (TE), which is considered a promising alternative to already established methods such as surgery and autografts. TE focuses on the design, optimization, and use of scaffolds in vitro and in v...
This work presents the fabrication, characterization, and application of iron-coated carbon fiber ([email protected]), synthesized in a facile in situ iron reduction, for As(III) removal from an aqueous solution. The physico-chemical properties of the composite were characterized using Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area, scanning electron microscopy (SE...
A dynamic viscosity function plays an important role in water hammer modeling. It is responsible for dispersion and decay of pressure and velocity histories. In this paper, a novel method for inverse Laplace transform of this complicated function being the square root of the ratio of Bessel functions of zero and second order is presented. The obtai...
In this manuscript, we discuss our approach to developing novel patient-specific total TMJ prostheses. Our unique patient-fitted designs based on medical images of the patient’s TMJ offer accurate anatomical fit, and better fixation to host bone. Special features of the prostheses have potential to offer improved osseo-integration and durability of...
Sustainable development involves the usage of alternative sustainable materials in order to sustain the excessive depletion of natural resources. Plant fibers, as a “green” material, are progressively gaining the attention of various researchers in the field of construction for their potential use in composites for stepping towards sustainable deve...
In order to obtain better quality TA10 pipes, the Boring and Trepanning Association (BTA) deep-hole drilling process is used. However, this type of machining leads to difficult chip removal, tool wear, and poor hole-surface quality. In this study, a deep-hole drilling experiment was conducted on TA10 workpieces using the designed tool with differen...
Sustainable fabrication of protective cotton, using bio-extracts, is becoming increasingly attractive. However, many shortcomings—including the introduction of potentially hazardous mordants or modifiers to cotton, annoying colour changes after finishing, and low processing efficiency—require further melioration. Therefore, an efficient ultrasonic-...
In this work, La-doped Sr0.6Ba0.4Nb2O6 ferroelectric ceramics were fabricated by the conventional solid state reaction method (CS) and spark plasma sintering (SPS), respectively. The microstructure, phase structure, dielectric properties, relaxor behavior, ferroelectric and energy storage properties were investigated and compared to indicate the ef...
Relatively new double perovskite material, Sr2CaTeO6, has been prepared through conventional solid-state procedures. Structural, dielectric, and optical characteristics of this exquisite solid-state material were analysed in this study. The single-phase monoclinic P21/n structure of this prepared compound was well correlated with the literature rev...
