Eigenvalue-Eigenvector approach as well as Levy type solution are used for electroelastic analysis of a doubly curved shell made of piezoelectric material based on a shear deformable model and piezoelasticity relations. The electroelastic governing equations are derived using virtual work principle. The solution is proposed for a Levy type boundary conditions with two simply-supported boundary conditions and two clamped ones. After derivation of the governing equations, a solution satisfying two simply supported boundary conditions is assumed to arrive a system of ordinary differential equations. The latest governing equations are solved using Eigenvalue-Eigenvector method to satisfy clamped-clamped boundary conditions. The distribution of displacements, rotations, electric potential, strain and stress is presented along the planar coordinate. Accuracy of the proposed solution is justified through comparison with results of previous papers.

Turbulent convection governs heat transport in both natural and industrial settings, yet optimizing it under extreme conditions remains a significant challenge. Traditional control strategies, such as predefined temperature modulation, struggle to achieve substantial enhancement. Here, we introduce a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) framework that autonomously discovers optimal control policies to maximize heat transfer in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection.

We have developed a new true triaxial apparatus for rock deformation, featuring six servo-controlled loading rams capable of applying maximum stresses of 220 MPa along the two horizontal axes and 400 MPa along the vertical axis to cubic rock samples of 50 mm side. Samples are introduced into a steel vessel, allowing rock specimens to be subjected to confining pressures of up to 60 MPa. Pore fluid lines connected to two pump intensifiers enable high-precision permeability measurements along all three principal stress directions.

Microrobots are expected to push the boundaries of robotics by enabling navigation in confined and cluttered environments due to their sub-centimeter scale. However, most microrobots perform best only in the specific conditions for which they are designed and require complete redesign and fabrication to adapt to new tasks and environments. Here, fully 3D-printed modular microrobots capable of performing a broad range of tasks across diverse environments are introduced.

Methods: Two observers (experienced hand surgeon and orthopedic surgery resident) measured median nerve CSA in 10 patients with suspected CTS.

Background: Effective communication between ICU nurses and patients' families is essential in ensuring optimal care, reducing anxiety, and enhancing decision-making. However, communication difficulties persist globally, particularly in intensive care units (ICUs) where patients are in critical condition and their families are distressed. Aim To explore the lived experiences of ICU nurses and family members in Jordan to understand how nurse workload, emotional stress, and cultural expectations influence the quality, clarity, and emotional tone of communication in intensive care settings.
