Prediction of Depth-Induced Stress Distribution and Maintenance Cost Implications for Submerged Structural Components
Abstract: This study investigates the influence of water depth on stress distribution and structural integrity of submerged mechanical components . Structural models fabricated from mild steel, stainless steel, carbon steel, and copper alloy were examined under hydrostatic loading corresponding to water depths between 30 cm and 150 cm. Results indicate that normal and shear stresses increased proportionally with depth due to intensified hydrostatic pressure. Mild steel exhibited the highest stress concentrations, …

Cosmetic Topical Formulations: Design Strategies, Skin Interaction Mechanisms, Clinical–Cosmetic Applications, and Emerging Trends
Abstract: Cosmetic topical products are central to modern skin care, as they deliver active ingredients directly to the skin surface and upper layers to improve appearance, texture, and function. By acting locally on the epidermis and adnexal structures, these preparations help manage dryness, photoaging, pigmentation, acne, and sensitive-skin conditions while minimizing systemic exposure. A wide range of dosage forms—creams, lotions, gels, ointments, serums, sprays, and transdermal-inspired cosmetic patches—are engineered to modulate …

A Survey on Hydrogen Storage System using Composite Material and its Alloys
Abstract: The transition to a carbon-neutral energy landscape hinges on the ability to store hydrogen safely, densely, and reversibly. While high-pressure tanks and cryogenic vessels dominate today’s infrastructure, solid-state storage in metallic alloys offers a compelling alternative by combining high gravimetric capacity with intrinsic safety to form a composite material. This work presents a systematic investigation of a family of reversible hydrogen-absorbing composite material alloys—principally Mg-based intermetallics (Mg₂Ni, MgFeMn) and TiV-based …

Development of Polymersomes as Macromolecular Platforms for Nanomedicine
Abstract: The conventional method of drug delivery is plagued with instability, low targeting and low bioavailability. A solution to these shortcomings is the use of polymersomes, artificial vesicles that are produced through self-assembly of amphiphilic block copolymer, and they are suggested as universal nanoscale carriers. They have stiff, tunable membranes (thickness = 2–50 nm) due to accurate control of polymer chemistry, chain length, and hydrophilic mass fraction (f), which allows predictability …
