TL;DR: There remains growing interest in magnesium (Mg) and its alloys, as they are the lightest structural metallic materials Mg alloys have the potential to enable design of lighter engineered systems, including positive implications for reduced energy consumption as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: This work presents surface roughness power spectra of many surfaces of practical importance, obtained from the surface height profile measured using optical methods and the atomic force microscope, and shows how the power spectrum determines the contact area between two solids.

TL;DR: A wide variety of CaPs are presented, from the individual phases to nano-CaP, biphasic and triphasic CaP formulations, composite CaP coatings and cements, functionally graded materials (FGMs), and antibacterial CaPs.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use a geometric classification of damage zones into tip-, wall-, and linking-damage zones, based on their location around faults, which can be sub-divided in terms of fault and fracture patterns within the damage zone.

TL;DR: Morphology (DBH and tree height), and two wood properties (radial and tangential shrinkage and the dynamic elastic modulus of dried-lumber) present opportunities in the heritability or genetic control values in juvenile and they can be introduced in the genetic program.

TL;DR: Electrospinning technique was used to produce new asymmetric membranes, which exhibited a wettability able to provide a moist environment at wound site and the membranes’ hemocompatibility and fibroblast cell adhesion, spreading and proliferation at the surface of the membranes were noticed in the in vitro assays.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a synthesis of available information to support specific areas related to pavements for the safe, economical development of the Trans Texas Corridor (TTC), which is divided into several sections, each of which deals with a specific topic or topics.

TL;DR: In this paper, a multidisciplinary approach was developed to estimate urban groundwater vulnerability to contamination combining hydrogeology, hydrogeochemistry, subterranean hydrogeotechnics, groundwater ecotoxicology and isotope tracers.
