A rapid method for the preparation of an in vitro osteoporosis model of calf vertebrae: histological and biomechanical study by Anli Shi, Anli Shi, Yijie Liu, Qiang Ma, Jiaxin Li, Jiawang Fan, Zhaohui Ge, Zhaohui Ge

“…The impact of decalcification was assessed through histological, imaging, and biomechanical analyses.FindingsDecalcification took approximately 2 months, resulting in osteoporotic vertebrae with a bone mineral density reduction of approximately 50.89% compared to pre-decalcification levels. The bone microstructure was significantly altered, characterized by a decrease in trabecular thickness and number and an increase in trabecular separation. …”

Prediction of Intraformational Remaining Oil Distribution Based on Reservoir Heterogeneity: Application to the J-Field by Jie Zhang, Feifei Fang, Jie Wang, Yajie Tian, Fei Mo, Qi Li, Sainan Li, Xiaoliang Huang, Yi Yang

“…In order to avoid the drawback that a single parameter cannot fully describe the characteristics of pore structure, the composite index of pore structure (SQRT(K/Φ)) is introduced to study the pore microstructure. The composite index of pore structure is used to predict the distribution of remaining oil in the formation, and the results are basically consistent with those calculated by numerical simulation. …”

Phase Composition, Surface Morphology, and Dielectric Properties of Poly(Vinylidene Fluoride)–Cobalt Ferrite Composite Films Depending on Thickness by Pavel A. Vorontsov, Vitalii D. Salnikov, Valerii V. Savin, Stanislav A. Vorontsov, Alexander S. Omelyanchik, Petr V. Shvets, Larissa V. Panina, Petr A. Ershov, Valeria V. Rodionova

“…Atomic force microscopy (AFM) analysis also showed that thicker films have higher tensile strength due to their larger cross-sectional area, while thinner films exhibit lower elasticity. A more uniform microstructure and an increased electroactive phase in thin films result in increased permittivity, which is critical for PVDF-based sensors and energy devices.…”
