Mussel-inspired superhydrophobic coating via self-assembled polydopamine/SiO2 for enhancing the durability of marine concrete by Jiang Du, Kexin Zhang, Jianting Zhou, Xiuman Wang, Zhongya Zhang, Yang Zou, Dunyi Liu, Soroush Mahjoubi, Jun Yang

“…Drawing inspiration from the strong underwater adhesion of marine mussels, we report a simple and scalable strategy for producing a robust superhydrophobic coating directly on concrete surfaces. The process relies on the spontaneous self-assembly of polydopamine@SiO2 core-shell nanospheres, which construct a hierarchical roughness, followed by grafting with 1 H, 1 H, 2 H, 2H-perfluorodecanethiol (PFDT) to lower the surface energy. …”

Improved Algorithm to Estimate All-Sky Shortwave Net Radiation Based on Top-of-Atmosphere Albedo by Gaofeng Wang, Tianxing Wang, Wanchun Leng, Pei Yu, Xuewei Yan

“…Shortwave net radiation (SWNR) serves as the vital variable of radiative energy balance and plays a key parameter in global climate, hydrological, and land surface process models. Solar zenith angle (SZA), PWC, DEM, aerosol optical depth (AOD), TOA albedo, and aerosol type are the key factors for estimating SWNR, and it is necessary to fully consider them. …”

Carbonitration of a tool for pressing stainless steel pipes by Ivanov I. V., Mohylenets M. V., Dumenko K. A., Kryvchyk L., Khokhlova T. S., Pinchuk V. L.

“…The high hardness of the carbonitrified layer is maintained up to temperatures above 650 °C. If the stability of the needle-mandrels after conventional heat treatment varies between 50–80 presses, the needles, additionally subjected to chemical-thermal treatment (carbonitration) showed the stability of 100–130 presses due to higher hardness, wear resistance, heat resistance, the formation of a special surface structure due to carbonitration in melts of salts of cyanates and carbonates.…”

Modern treatment for extremities border-line burns by S. V. Bogdanov, O. N. Afaunova

“…The essence of this way is that during the first 2-7 days after receiving a boundary burn in the functional zones and zones inclined to scarring formation, we carry out necrectomy to the lower layers of derma and autoplasty, and on other boundary sites with burns we remove fibrous and necrotic pellicle within surface dermal layers to the level of a bleeding layer and on the processed burn area we place a wound covering.Material and Methods. …”

Proprioceptive Reweighting and Postural Control are Impaired Among Elite Athletes Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction by Benoit Attalin, Telma Sagnard, Eric Laboute, Nicolas Forestier, Olivier Rémy-Néris, Brice Picot

“…Proprioceptive reweighting was determined using the evolution of proprioceptive weighting (eRPW), calculated from the center of pressure (CoP) displacements generated by tendon vibration during bilateral standing tasks on firm and foam surfaces. An eRPW <95% classified individuals as flexible (i.e., able to reweight proprioceptive signals from the ankle to the lumbar region), whereas an eRPW >105% classified individuals as rigid (i.e., maintaining an ankle dominant strategy). …”
