Indexable face milling tools are often used to machine workpieces with large axial and radial depth of cuts, and thus, the inserts quickly wear out in machining. A kernel technique of smart machining is tool wear compensation, which is to regularly and automatically measure the insert radius/length with a laser tool setter on the machine table during mach ...

Inefficient electron transfer is one of the main challenges in practical denitrification applications. To address this issue, a novel ternary mediator functional material (Mxene@Fe-TA) was successfully synthesized, which exhibited pseudocapacitive properties to facilitate electron mediation and distribution. Batch experiments revealed that 50 mg/L MXene@F ...

Urban flooding has become a growing concern for many cities due to accelerating urbanisation, changing weather, and drainage system aging. Earlier studies of floods have taken primarily the traditional process-based approach to predicting urban floods, offering limited exploration of recent advancements in AI-driven, real-time, and community-integrated ap ...

In individuals with obesity, the onset of chronic comorbidities coincides with the excessive accumulation of adipose tissue in various tissue beds. As obesity progresses, adipose tissue becomes increasingly dysfunctional causing chronic low-grade inflammation. Indeed, adipose tissue inflammation, which partially stems from macrophage infiltration and expr ...

Although rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is often thought of as a singular state, it consists of two substates, phasic and tonic REM, defined by the presence (respectively absence) of bursts of rapid eye movements. These two substates have distinct EEG signatures and functional properties. However ...

Despite high recurrence rates in major depressive disorder (MDD), little is known about the factors influencing recurrence. Understanding the changes that occur between major depressive episodes (MDEs) is imperative. It is possible that being fearful of experiencing another MDE may lead to cognitive and behavioural changes that increase MDD recurrence ris ...

Humans can flexibly extract a regular beat from complex rhythmic auditory patterns, as often occurs in music. Contemporary models of beat perception suggest that the premotor cortex (PMC) and the supplementary motor area (SMA) are integral to this process. However, how these motor planning regions actively contribute to beat perception, along with any pot ...

The priming effect (PE) refers to the enhanced remineralization of recalcitrant organic carbon (OC) driven by the respiration of labile OC, potentially increasing CO2 fluxes from aquatic ecosystems. Patterns of PE induced by marine and terrestrial OC inputs can be explored through sedimentary contributions to the degraded OC pool. In this study, coastal s ...

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic caused a drastic shift in the practice of research and clinical services. It has been noted that cognition measured via in-person versus remote methods differ substantially, and it is possible that subjective and experiential differences exist between modalities. Objective: The aim of the study is to explore the percepti ...
