Adhesive abilities of insects, spiders and reptiles have inspired researchers for a long time. All these organisms show outstanding performance, particularly for force, adhesion and climbing abilities, relative to their size and weight. Scientists have focused on the gecko's adhesive paw system and climbing abilities. Its adhesion mechanism has been an important topic of research for nearly 150…
Polymer composites with different reinforcements have many applications. By adjusting process settings and adding fibers and fillers, composite properties can be improved. Additive manufacturing is popular in the polymer industry because it can manufacture intricately designed parts with fewer defects and greater strength with less material consumption
his study aimed at evaluating the microtensile bond strength (MTBS) and fractographic features of dentine-bonded specimens created using universal adhesives applied in etch-and-rinse (ER) or self-etching (SE) mode in combination with modern ion-releasing resin-modified glass-ionomer cement (RMGIC)-based materials after load cycling and artificial saliva aging
This work aims to develop cornstarch (CS) based films using fructose (F), glycerol (G), and their combination (FG) as plasticizers with different ratios for food packaging applications. The findings showed that F-plasticized film had the lowest moisture content, highest crystallinity among all films, and exhibited the highest tensile strength and thermostability.
Infrastructure construction is society's cornerstone and economics' catalyst. Therefore, improving mobile machinery's efficiency and reducing their cost of use have enormous economic benefits in the vast and growing construction market. In this thesis, I envision a novel concept smart working site to increase productivity through fleet management from multiple aspects and with Artificial Intell…
This reprint focuses on the hot issue of bearing lubrication and thermal analysis, and brings together many cutting-edge studies, such as bearing multi-body dynamics, bearing tribology, new lubrication and heat dissipation structures, bearing self-lubricating materials, thermal analysis of bearing assembly process, bearing service state prediction, etc. The purpose of this reprint is to explore…
This eBook is a collection of articles from a Frontiers Research Topic. Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers Journals Series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researcher…
Perampokan dan membawa pulang barang-barang berharga dari musuh yang kalah adalah aktivitas yang umum di dunia Yunani dan Romawi Hellenistik. Dalam volume ini, kritikus sastra, sejarawan, dan arkeolog bersatu untuk menyelidiki fenomena ini dalam hal penguasaan dan perubahan budaya. Interpretasi mendalam tentang spoliasi kuno yang terkenal, seperti yang dilakukan oleh orang Yunani setelah Pertem…
Sementara keterlibatan Althusserian yang eksplisit dengan Kapital karya Marx sebagian besar terbatas pada Membaca Kapital, setelah 1968, Nick Nesbitt berpendapat, intervensi teoretis ini tetap gigih, mengadopsi bentuk teori umum dialektika materialis. Buku ini dengan demikian menganalisis teori dialektika materialis Althusserian di berbagai tempat termasuk arsip tak terpublikasi Althusser, eksp…
