The Development of Thermoresponsive Multifunctional Chitosan Films Suitable for Food Packaging by Nihal Sarier, Anıl Eloglu, Emel Onder

“…We developed bio-based chitosan–gelatin films, CHG-LO films, incorporating lavender essential oil (15–26 wt% LO) and oleic acid (33–47 wt% OA) with smooth surfaces and thicknesses of 0.42–0.99 mm. For their manufacture, the nanoemulsions were prepared to possess uniform dispersion and colloidal stability with average droplet sizes of 475–854 nm, polydispersity indices (PDI) of 0.095–0.235, and zeta potentials of 23.7–56.9 mV at 40 °C, where OA served as surfactant and phase change material. …”

Structure, short-range order, and phase stability of the Al x CrFeCoNi high-entropy alloy: insights from a perturbative, DFT-based analysis by Christopher D. Woodgate, George A. Marchant, Livia B. Pártay, Julie B. Staunton

“…Our approach is based on a perturbative analysis of the internal energy of the paramagnetic solid solution as evaluated within the Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker formulation of density functional theory, using the coherent potential approximation to average over disorder. Via application of a Landau-type linear response theory, we infer preferential chemical orderings directly. …”

The example of BTJE flow path contamination assessment with anti-icing fluid using statistical models by S. V. Nekrasov, B. A. Chichkov

“…In particular, contamination of the compressor rotor blades leads to the reduction in the cross-sectional areas of the inter-blade channels, changes in their shape, and an increase in the roughness of the blade surfaces. All these phenomena compromise compressor performance: result in reduced efficiency, decreased pressure ratio, and airflow, resulting in lower engine thrust, increased jet pipe temperature, higher fuel consumption, reduced gas-dynamic stability, and altered rotor speeds. …”
