Synergistic Modeling Of Hydrogel Gelation Via Time-Delay Dynamics And Machine Learning Algorithms, Mine Babaoglu, Dipesh ., Pankaj Kumar, Jagjit Singh Dhatterwal, Mansoor Alsulami

Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Simulation with Applications

This paper presents an integrated framework in which delay differential equation (DDE) modeling and machine learning (ML) approaches are coupled to study hydrogel formation kinetics, with emphasis on delayed crosslinker addition. Conventional mechanistic models disclose many physical and kinetic complexities of reacting mixtures; they seldom depict the nonlinear and time-evolving complexities inherent in developing polymer networks. To address this, a mathematical model is developed that examines how the insertion of crosslinkers affects system stability and equilibrium. Analytical and numerical results show that delays nearing critical levels cause bifurcation behavior with substantial implications on gelation kinetics. Sophisticated machine learning systems, including …

Placing The Good Life: Towards A Phenomenology Of Place, Chloe Nicole Piamonte

Mabini Review

This paper stresses the place of a phenomenology of place in philosophical discussions on the constituents of what various philosophers designate as the good life. A phenomenological approach to place aids in addressing the taken-for-grantedness of our lifeworld and its implications—including but not limited to—questions on embodiment, freedom, and intersubjectivity. Phenomenology reveals the layers of meaning behind the varying dimensions of human experience that constitute their lived emplacement. In turn, a phenomenology of place examines the onset of a conscious and subjective interpretation of places, and things and concepts surrounding them. Making sense of the importance of place and locality …

Durable Low-Friction Graphite Coatings Enabled By A Polydopamine Adhesive Underlayer, Adedoyin Ayomide Abe, Fernando Maia De Oliveira, Deborah Okyere, Mourad Benamara, Jingyi Chen, Yuriy I. Mazur, Min Zou

Mechanical Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations

This study investigates the tribological performance and wear mechanisms of graphite and polydopamine/graphite (PDA/graphite) coatings on stainless steel under dry sliding conditions. While graphite is widely used as a solid lubricant, its poor adhesion to metal substrates limits long-term durability. Incorporating an adhesion-promoting PDA underlayer significantly improved coating lifetime and wear resistance. Tribological testing revealed that PDA/graphite coatings maintained a coefficient of friction (COF) below 0.15 for over seven times longer than graphite-only coatings. High-resolution scanning electron microscopy, SEM, and profilometry showed that PDA improved coating adhesion and suppressed lateral debris transport, confining wear to a narrow zone. Surface and …
