Cermet coatings are one of the best surface protection of machine elements against wear. On the other hand, the most universal and economically justified method of applying such coatings is high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) spraying. This method makes it possible to produce coatings characterized by compact structure, low porosity and very good adhesion to the substrate. All these fundamental properties...
In the domain of clinical imaging, the exact and quick identification proof of bone fractures assumes a crucial part in a pivotal role in facilitating timely and effective patient care. This research tends to this basic need by harnessing the force of profound learning, explicitly utilizing a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model as the foundation of our technique. The essential target of our study...
The article presents analysis of mechanical properties of specimens fabricated by fused deposition modeling (FDM). The four of considered materials are the well-known 3D printing filaments i.e., polylactide (PLA), Nylon 12 (PA12), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PET-G). The other four of the considered materials are composites with carbon i.e. polylactide...
Optical microscopes face limitations due to diffraction, which can impact the clarity and resolution of the resulting images. Enhancing these images typically involves techniques such as contrast improvement, sharpening, and noise reduction, which help make features more discernible. In this study, we propose an algorithm aimed at enhancing contrast and illumination using Dark Channel Prior (DCP)...
The paper presents an analysis of the influence of the Shelf Ready Packaging (SRP) machine performance parameters on the repeatability of generated cardboard boxes’ selected geometric features. As part of the research, two batches of packaging were measured. Each batch contained 100 pieces of packaging, manufactured either at a rate of 15 pcs/min or 20 pcs/min, 50 pcs each. Both batches were measured...
The start-up is a transient state of operation of an internal combustion engine during which many negative phenomena occur that affect the technical condition of the engine, its electrical equipment and the natural environment. The start-up process of an internal combustion engine is influenced by many factors, such as: technical condition of the starting system, technical condition of the engine,...
The paper presents the results of research on the influence of the material condition – HSLA steel with Ti and Nb microadditions – on the course of the austenitic transformation. In order to determine the kinetics of phase transformations occur in steel during individual stages of the austenitic transformation, tests were carried out using a Bähr 805 A/D dilatometer. In order to determine the influence...
Rechargeable aprotic lithium (Li)‐oxygen battery (LOB) is a potential next‐generation energy storage technology because of its high theoretical specific energy. However, the role of redox mediator on the oxide electrochemistry remains unclear. This is partly due to the intrinsic complexity of the battery chemistry and the lack of in‐depth studies of oxygen electrodes at the atomic level by reliable...
With the emergence of gene therapy utilizing viral vectors, the potential risks associated with these vectors have prompted increased attention toward non‐viral alternatives. DNA nanotechnology enables the assembly of specific oligonucleotide chains into nanostructures possessing defined spatial configurations. Due to their inherent characteristics, DNA nanostructures possess natural advantages as...
Quantum dots (QDs) are inorganic semiconductor nanocrystals capable of emitting light. The current major challenge lies in the use of heavy metals, which are known to be highly toxic to humans and pose significant environmental risks. Researchers have turned to indium (In) as a promising option for more environmentally benign QDs, specifically indium phosphide (InP). A significant obstacle remains...
Doxorubicin (DOX) is widely used as a chemotherapeutic agent for both hematologic and solid tumors and is a reasonable candidate for glioma treatment. However, its effectiveness is hindered by significant toxicity and drug resistance. Moreover, the presence of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) brings a crucial challenge to glioma therapy. In response, a GSH‐responsive and actively targeted nanoprodrug...
Fine‐tuning nanoscale structures, morphologies, and electronic states are crucial for creating efficient water‐splitting electrocatalysts. In this study, a method for electronic structure engineering to enhance overall water splitting in a corrosion‐resistant electrocatalyst matrix by integrating Pt, P dual‐doped Ni4Mo electrocatalysts onto a Ti4O7 nanorod grown on carbon cloth (Pt, P–Ni4Mo–Ti4O7/CC)...
“Perovskite / Carbon” interface has remained a key bottleneck for the hole‐conductor‐free perovskite solar cells based on carbon‐electrode (CPSCs), due to problems like loose physics contact, defects, energy mismatch, poor chemical coupling, etc. A previous study shows that octylammonium iodide (OAI) blending in carbon paste induced a kind of “in‐situ healing” effect for “perovskite / carbon” interface,...
Low‐cost and eco‐friendly Ni/NiO heterojunctions have been theoretically proven to be the ideal candidate for stepwise electrocatalysis of alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction, attributed to the preferred OHad adsorption by incompletely filled d orbitals of NiO phase and favorable Had adsorption energy of Ni phase. Nevertheless, most Ni/NiO compounds reported so far fail to exhibit excellent catalytic...
Some oxide‐based particulate photocatalyst sheets exhibit excellent activity during the water‐splitting reaction. The replacement of oxide photocatalysts with narrow‐bandgap photocatalysts based on nonoxides could provide the higher solar‐to‐hydrogen energy conversion efficiencies that are required for practical implementation. Unfortunately, the activity of nonoxide‐based photocatalyst sheets is...
Immunotherapy utilizing anti‐PD‐L1 blockade has achieved dramatic success in clinical breast cancer management but is often hampered by the limited immune response. Increasing evidence shows that immunogenic cell death (ICD) recently arises as a promising strategy for enlarging tumor immunogenicity and eliciting systemic anti‐tumor immunity effectively. However, developing simple but versatile, highly...
Violet phosphorus (VP) has attracted a lot of attention for its unique physicochemical properties and emerging potential in photoelectronic applications. Although VP has a van der Waals (vdW) structure similar to that of other 2D semiconductors, direct synthesis of VP on a substrate is still challenging. Moreover, optoelectronic devices composed of transfer‐free VP flakes have not been demonstrated...
The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyzed by transition‐metal single‐atom catalysts (SACs) is promising for practical applications in energy‐conversion devices, but great challenges still remain due to the sluggish kinetics of O═O cleavage.

As an innovative technology, four‐dimentional (4D) printing is built upon the principles of three‐dimentional (3D) printing with an additional dimension: time. While traditional 3D printing creates static objects, 4D printing generates “responsive 3D printed structures”, enabling them to transform or self‐assemble in response to external stimuli. Due to the dynamic nature, 4D printing has demonstrated...
Miniaturized flow cytometry has significant potential for portable applications, such as cell‐based diagnostics and the monitoring of therapeutic cell manufacturing, however, the performance of current techniques is often limited by the inability to resolve spectrally‐overlapping fluorescence labels.
