♾️ #Entropy: The ultimate storyteller of system behavior Bridging the first and second laws of thermodynamics, Dr. Jude Osara, PhD PE and Michael Bryant's study introduces a Phenomenological Entropy Generation (PEG) theorem. What does this mean? 🤔 By comparing phenomenological vs. reversible entropy, the study crafts accurate equations for diverse systems—from grease degradation to battery performance, metal fatigue, and pump flows. 🔧 Applications: Diagnostic monitoring, system optimization, advanced design... This approach simplifies #thermodynamics while unlocking powerful tools for predictive analysis. https://brnw.ch/21wOPBo

🧩 #Autism in Greece: Untangling predictors for better outcomes. What influences the functionality of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)? This nationwide study of 517 children aged 4–7 in Greece by Mrs. Katerina Sousamli, Dr. Antigoni Sarantaki, and colleagues reveals some thought-provoking insights: 📌 Key predictors of lower functionality: - Higher maternal age - Delayed ASD diagnosis - Lower family income - Higher birth order The findings underscore the importance of early diagnosis, equitable access to resources, and systematic screening to improve outcomes. https://brnw.ch/21wOPvO University of West Attica #AutismResearch #PublicHealth #ASDCare

🚢 From hydrostatic pressure to wind and wave forces, ship hulls endure a spectrum of challenging loads. 🌊 Ensuring structural integrity is critical—not just for safety but also for environmental protection. Mr. Rabby Sarkar's review explores how Finite Element Methods (FEM), powered by ANSYS software, can assess stress concentrations and deformation in cargo ship hulls. Key focus areas: ✅ Local vs. global structural analysis ✅ Effects of grounding incidents ✅ Insights to refine design practices and elevate safety standards 💡 The findings spotlight the vital role of FEM in advancing safer, more efficient ship designs. https://brnw.ch/21wONtp Military Institute of Science and Technology (MIST) #MarineEngineering #ShipDesign #FiniteElementAnalysis

We are so very proud to have published our first research paper on the extensive health benefits of phytase! Dietary Phytic Acid, Dephytinisation and Phytase Supplementation Alter Micronutrient Bioavailability – a Literature Review of Human Interventions. It is currently being peer reviewed, but the pre-print version is here for anyone interested in reading it. A huge thank you to the lead investigator: Vaios Svolos and our scientific advisors: Professor Simon Hirota, Marie Schiller. It's been a heavy lift but we are hoping this starts to influence policy in addressing anemia, malnutrition and hidden hunger globally! https://lnkd.in/g3KvUK4i GoodPhyte Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Sight and Life #hiddenhunger #malnutrition #anemia #jointhegoodphyte

🎗 #PancreaticCancer: where progress meets urgency With its 5-year survival rate rising from 3% to 12%, pancreatic cancer (PC) still battles the odds as one of the deadliest cancers. 📊 Despite advances, challenges persist due to the complexity of cancer cell behavior and their interplay with the microenvironment. Here’s where it gets interesting: Necroptosis, a unique form of programmed cell death, is emerging as a key focus in unraveling PC progression. In Dr. Valentina Giansante et al's review, they dive into the historical background of necroptosis and tackle the ongoing debate—does necroptosis fuel or fight pancreatic cancer? 📖 Read the full review to explore: https://brnw.ch/21wOLOG Università degli Studi "G. d'Annunzio" Chieti - Pescara #CancerResearch #Therapeutics

🎯 When lab methods clash with compliance standards, data variability speaks volumes. At a former uranium mining and milling site in Wyoming, inconsistent results in groundwater monitoring for radium isotopes (226Ra + 228Ra) are keeping scientists on their toes. 🧪 It turns out, how labs handle samples matters more than the analytical method itself. 🔎 The solution proposed by Dr. David Levy: Reanalysis and confirmatory splits with external labs to ensure accurate reporting for compliance. https://brnw.ch/21wOLLo WORTHINGTON MILLER ENVIRONMENTAL LLC #EnvironmentalScience #GroundwaterMonitoring

🌊 Synthetic mooring lines in #FloatingWindTurbines need robust damage detection for operational safety. 🔬 Study by Dr. Christos Sakaris et al: 390 simulations of a 10MW FOWT show TF model-based SHM methods successfully detect early-stage damage (10-14% stiffness loss) even under new conditions. This highlights a promising path for enhancing the reliability of FOWTs. https://brnw.ch/21wOLjE Universitetet i Stavanger (UiS) #RenewableEnergy #SHM
