Traditional flexure hinges are designed by using a single material, and their performance is inadequate, compared to the ideal hinge.This paper presents a topology-optimization design method for multi-material flexure hinges based on the element stacking method.A topology optimization model for multi-material flexure D-Mannose hinges is constructed
Dairy Manure-Derived Biochar in Soil Enhances Nutrient Metabolism and Soil Fertility, Altering the Soil Prokaryote Community
Although various studies have investigated biochar (BC) soil amendments for improving soil microbial abundance, functions, and community structure, a comparison of dairy manure biochar (MBC) to wood biochar (WBC) is warranted given the large volume of manure produced in high-intensity dairy production.Additionally, the synergistic effects of differ
Branding Wakatobi: marine development and legitimation by science
Marine protected areas (MPAs) serve as a WATCHES potential defense against marine degradation, meeting the conflicting priorities and needs of multiple actors.Biodiversity, conservation, and ecotourism constitute a triad of sustainability tropes in tropical MPAs that intersect with and reinterpret local histories of marine interaction, subsistence,

Electrocardiographic Changes and Their Prognostic Effect in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke without Cardiac Etiology
Objective: Acute ischemic stroke has an effect on electrocardiography (ECG) results and cardiac enzyme levels, but its mechanism has not been clearly established.Our aim was to research ECG and cardiac enzyme changes in acute ischemic stroke and to investigate the association between these changes and stroke localizations and prognosis.Materials an
