Article Abstract
Ultrasonically assisted cutting (UAC), a process characterized by high-performance material removal and enhanced surface finish, is widely employed in orthopedic surgery. However, variability in the mechanical properties of cortical bone may lead to unstable fractures and fluctuating cutting force during material removal, particularly under high-frequency vibration cutting. This study introduces a transient shear strength model that utilizes strain rate fluctuations to estimate cutting forces in the UAC process. The impact of varying osteon orientations and strain rate ranges on the yield strength of cortical bone is analyzed to elucidate changes in its mechanical properties under UAC conditions. Additionally, strain rates from conventional cutting (CC) and UAC, measured through digital image correlation (DIC), are compared with model predictions. The results demonstrate that the proposed model accurately predicts cutting forces and associated changes in thrust. This research offers a fresh insight into the dynamics of fluctuating forces during UAC, potentially inspiring advancements in orthopedic surgical instruments.

Archimedean spirals are architectural motifs that are found in nature. The facial asymmetry of amphiphilic molecules or macromolecules has been a key parameter in the preparation of these well-organized two-dimensional nanostructures in the laboratory. This facial asymmetry is also present in the helical grooves of chiral helical substituted poly(phenylacetylene)s (PPAs) and poly(diphenylacetylene)s (PDPAs), making them excellent candidates for self-assembly into 2D Archimedean nanospirals or nanotoroids.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the leading causes of infectious disease mortality worldwide, increasingly complicated by the emergence of drug-resistant strains and limitations in existing diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Despite decades of global efforts, the disease continues to impose a significant burden, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where health system weaknesses hinder progress. This comprehensive review explores recent advancements in TB diagnostics, antimicrobial resistance (AMR surveillance), treatment strategies, and vaccine development.

The well-known technique of microtomy, which is an essential cutting tool, was first developed for light and transmission electron microscope uses, but it is currently also utilized to prepare specimens for atomic force microscopy (AFM), ion microscopy using a focused ion beam (FIB), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Ultramicrotomy can only be used on soft substances and metals that are sufficiently ductile to be cut with a diamond knife. Before being sliced by a microtome, many soft materials must first go through numerous preparatory processes.

The TTS(through-the-scope)airway stent is a novel self-expanding nitinol alloy metal stent. Its structure and method of implantation differ significantly from those of the traditional OTW(over-the-wire)stent. In this study, we compared the mechanical properties of the TTS and OTW stents, and both of which were implanted into the tracheas of rabbits to compare the differences in complications caused by these two types of stents.

Insects and plants have been locked in an evolutionary arms race spanning 350 million years. Insects evolved specialized tools to cut into plant tissue, and plants, to counter these attacks, developed diverse defence strategies. Much previous worked has focused on chemical defences.
