Influence of the Modification of Resol Phenolics on the Properties of Glass and Cotton Fiber Laminates
Abstract: Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite based on resol phenolics awaits special attention due to excellent inherent properties of the resol phenolics. In this study, modified resol phenolics by unsaturated polyester (UP) and epoxidised novolacs of simple phenol, o-cresol and p-cresol were used to fabricate glass and cotton FRPs. An overall enhancement of 25% in tensile strength and 40% in impact strength is achieved upon modification for both the modified laminates. …

Seasonal Dynamics of Coastal Landscapes: A Critical Review Using Remote Sensing and GIS
Abstract: Coastal landscapes are among the most dynamic environments on Earth, undergoing continuous transformation due to both natural processes and anthropogenic activities. In India, particularly along the southern coastal regions of Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala, shoreline morphology and sediment transport patterns are significantly influenced by seasonal monsoons, cyclones, storm surges, waves, tides, and changing river discharges. These factors contribute to varying rates of coastal erosion, accretion, inundation, and land- …

Lesser-Known Metabolites Influencing Ovarian Function, Follicular Development, and Embryo Viability in Dairy Cows
Abstract: The intricate processes of ovarian function, follicular development, and embryo viability in dairy cows are tightly regulated by a complex network of metabolites. While conventional biomarkers, such as steroid hormones, amino acids, and glucose metabolites, have been extensively studied, a growing body of evidence suggests that lesser-known metabolites play pivotal roles in bovine reproductive physiology. Dairy cattle fertility is critical for maintaining optimal milk production and herd sustainability, necessitating deeper …

Gold Nanoparticle Size, Biodistribution, and Toxicity: Insights from DualEnergy CT
Abstract: Dual-energy and spectral computed tomography (CT) have emerged as powerful platforms for noninvasive, quantitative mapping of nanoparticle biodistribution in vivo. By exploiting the energy-dependent attenuation profiles of high-atomic-number (high-Z) materials, these systems enable material decomposition and element-specific imaging, thereby distinguishing nanoparticle signals from those of soft tissues and conventional iodinated contrast agents. Photon-counting spectral CT further enhances this capability by binning individual photons into multiple energy channels, improving spatial resolution, …

Next-Generation Biodegradable Polymer Composites: Enhancing Mechanical and Thermal Performance through Green Reinforcements
Abstract: Next-generation biodegradable polymer composites, combining compostable matrices such as polylactic acid (PLA), polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) and starch-based polymers with green reinforcements (e.g., nanocellulose, lignin, agricultural residues and other bio-fillers), offer a pragmatic route to reconcile high performance with end-of-life sustainability. This paper examines recent advances in the design, processing and interfacial engineering of such composites to enhance mechanical stiffness, strength, toughness and thermal stability while preserving—or intentionally controlling—biodegradation pathways. Emphasis is …
