This article uses extensive experimentation to evaluate the effect of fiber laser micro-cutting parameters over average surface roughness and back wall dross in AISI 316L stainless steel mixture tubes.

Corrigendum to the article titled “Metabolic Syndrome, Inflammation, and Cancer”.

Article describes study in which researchers attribute the 600% increase in creep life in a prototypical Mg–rare earth (RE)–Zn alloy to multiple mechanisms caused by RE–Zn bonding—stabilization of a large volume fraction of strengthening precipitates on slip planes, increase in vacancy diffusion barrier, reduction in activated cross-slip, and enhancement of covalent character and bond strength around Zn solutes along the c-axis of Mg using atomic-scale characterization and first principles calculations.

This article discusses the fabrication of superhydrophobic bamboo timber by magnetron sputtering and nanoimprint stamps. It was expected that this work could promote the applications of superhydrophobic and conductive bamboo products.

In this article, permeability properties and surface roughness of stainless steel (SS316L) surfaces were evaluated through experimentation with three different laser scanning patterns (chessboard, meander, and stripe), and different sloping angles between the fabricated surface and the laser beam incident on the process. Results showed that for each scanning pattern, the roughness decreased as the sloping angle increased consistently in all experimental trials.

This article presents a strong and ductile non-equiatomic high-entropy alloy obtained after friction stir processing.

This article explores single-layer tungsten disulfides (WS₂) because of their unique tunable bandgap. The authors report the scalable synthesis of uniform single-layer WS2 film by a two-step chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method followed by a laser thinning process.

This article investigates the effect of Ni-content on phase transformation behavior of NiTi-20 at. % Zr high temperature shape memory alloy.

Introduction to a special issue of the journal Security and Communication Networks covering security and privacy in emerging wireless networks.

This article reports a plasma-enhanced sequential infiltration synthesis (PE SIS) as a new platform toward deposition of nanoporous inorganic films.

This article describes a study observing the effect of nano calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) modification methods on bamboo fiber (BF) used in BF-reinforced high-density polyethylene composites manufactured by extrusion molding.

This article provides fundamental understanding of the nanocrystalline formation of undercooling TiAl melt and the deformation mechanisms in the nanocrystalline TiAl at the atomic scale.

This review article will focus on known risks following iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) exposure supported by human, animal, and cell culture-based studies, the potential challenges intrinsic to IONPs toxicity assessment, and how these may contribute to the poorly characterized IONPs toxicity profile.

This article describes the theoretical background and experimental design of new research based on previous multi-agent research on collaborative agents. The research extends the concept of agent decommitment into a resource scheduling domain. The problem is no longer time constrained, however, the number of agents is increased dramatically. The actual experimentation is yet to be performed. The authors state that results of the experimentation will be reported in a future article.

This article discusses a novel risk equation for estimating new infections among Females who Sell Sex (FWSS), their clients, and communities.

This article introduces a novel multi-objective attack response system.

This article reviews synthesis methods for renewable and eco-friendly glycosyl adhesives.

This article presents a new approach in designing an Al-based alloy through solid state precipitation route.

This article describes an inkjet printed, biocompatible, heterostructure photodetector that was constructed using inks of photo-active molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and electrically conducting graphene which facilitated charge collection of the photocarriers. The importance of such devices stems from their potential utility in age-related-macular degeneration, which is a condition where the photosensitive retinal tissue degrades with aging, eventually compromising vision. The absence of effective therapeutic remedies for patients with this disorder has motivated the development of such devices to restore some degree of visual function.

This paper presents an aggregation approach that learns a regression model from crowdsourced annotations to predict aggregated labels for instances that have no expert adjudications.
