GelMA has controllable mechanical properties depending on its degree of methacryloylation and its concentration. In addition, GelMA retains its intrinsic biological properties such as enzyme-degradability and cell-adhesion promotion [23,24,28]. In these respects, GelMA could be a good candidate for ...
A problem to consider is that charcoal tends to get dirty and its production depends largely on good weather conditions [18]. On the other hand, masonry kilns are built in areas that have a medium or long-term forestry plan, they must be located at a midpoint where the availability of ...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of wood coating with BW and Chinese wax on the colour and surface chemical changes after long-term (7 years) exposure to natural light in indoor conditions in a simulated natural ageing test, with the view of adding new useful data ...
Based on the evaluation of the results, the haunch reinforcements strengthened the selected steel frame and improved the dynamic performance compared to the frame with unreinforced connections under blast loading, and the biggest haunch configuration is the "best" type. Keywords: blast loading; welded...
However, parameters strongly depending on the type of selected grinder and nature of the sample (e.g., pretreatment duration and rotor speed) are currently used to describe the processes of mechanical activation of the biomass. Grinding and mechanochemical processes are very energy-intensive, ...
Ren et al. [19] found that the addition of SBR powder to the gilsonite improved the low-temperature deformation capacity by decreasing the stiffness values of asphalt binder with opposed impact on the m-value (i.e., the change rate in stiffness to time). The results suggested that the ...
Keywords: ice storage system; heat exchanger; numerical modeling; ice-on-coil tube; solidification 1. Introduction The enormous consumption of energy, especially for electrical demand from polluting energy sources, is expected to increase by 48% till 2040 [1]. There is then a growing interest in...
