Li, Yue (author), Li, Hongxiang (author), Katgerman, L. (author), Du, Qiang (author), Zhang, Jishan (author), Zhuang, Linzhong (author)Hot tearing is one of the most severe and irreversible casting defects for many metallic materials. In 2004, Eskin et al. published a review paper in which the development of hot tearing of aluminium alloys was evaluated (Eskin and Suyitno, 2004). Sixteen years have passed and this domain has undergone considerable development. Nevertheless,...review 2021

Chen, Z. (author), Zeilstra, Christiaan (author), van der Stel, Jan (author), Sietsma, J. (author), Yang, Y. (author)High-temperature reduction processes of iron oxide particles suspension are promising in carbon emission abatement. Recently, researchers have contributed abundant knowledge of the reaction mechanism and kinetics of iron oxide particles above 1473 K, while there was very limited information 10 years ago. Although the understanding of the high...review 2020

Sheldon, R.A. (author), Norton, Michael (author)The linear economy for plastic packaging, which currently leads to excessive carbon dioxide emissions and leakage into the environment, needs to be reformed to a greener circular model which is resource efficient and environmentally benign. This requires a system-wide redesigning of rules and incentives that apply to the plastics value chain,...review 2020

Nostadt, Nicolas (author), Abbink, D.A. (author), Christ, Oliver (author), Beckerle, Philipp (author)Subjective experience of human control over remote, artificial, or virtual limbs has traditionally been investigated from two separate angles: presence research originates from teleoperation, aiming to capture to what extent the user feels like actually being in the remote or virtual environment. Embodiment captures to what extent a virtual...review 2020

Geoff (author), Ki-wai Ho, Kevin (author), Qin, Ling (author)Clinical treatments for the repair of osteochondral defects (OCD) are merely palliative, not completely curative, and thus enormously unfulfilled challenges. With the in-depth studies of biology, medicine, materials, and engineering technology, the conception of OCD repair and regeneration should be renewed. During the past decades, many...review 2020

Ekka, A. (author), Pande, S. (author), Jiang, Yong (author), van der Zaag, P. (author)The process of development has led to the modification of river landscapes. This has created imbalances between ecological, economic, and socio-cultural uses of ecosystem services (ESs), threatening the biotic and social integrity of rivers. Anthropogenic modifications influence river landscapes on multiple scales, which impact river-flow...review 2020

Zhao, Jiale (author), Yang, Fu Qiang (author), Guo, Yong (author), Ren, X. (author)As the shallow mineral resources are nearly depleted, the mining of deep resources has become an urgent problem to be studied. The increase in mine depth can lead to the increase of mine heat hazard, which is a critical concern for mining safety/occupational health and safety. However, there are limited review articles available regarding the...review 2023

Saint-Michel, B.F.B. (author), Garbin, V. (author)Bubbles in complex fluids are often desirable, and sometimes simply inevitable, in the processing of formulated products. Bubbles can rise by buoyancy, grow or dissolve by mass transfer, and readily respond to changes in pressure, thereby applying a deformation to the surrounding complex fluid. The deformation field around a stationary,...review 2020

Glazenburg, M.M. (author), Laan, L. (author)Cellular life exhibits order and complexity, which typically increase over the course of evolution. Cell polarization is a well-studied example of an ordering process that breaks the internal symmetry of a cell by establishing a preferential axis. Like many cellular processes, polarization is driven by self-organization, meaning that the...review 2023
