Microstructural and rheological training and memory of nanocolloidal soft glasses under cyclic shear

2 months ago | link.aps.org | Yihao Chen |Johns Hopkins |Simon Rogers

An intrinsic feature of disordered and out-of-equilibrium materials, such as glasses, is the dependence of their properties on their history. An important example is rheological memory, in which disordered solids obtain properties based on their deformation history. Here, we employ x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy with in situ rheometry to characterize memory formation in a nanocolloidal soft glass due to cyclic shear.

Development and assessment of a machine learning tool for predicting emergency admission in Scotland - npj Digital Medicine

AbstractEmergency admissions (EA), where a patient requires urgent in-hospital care, are a major challenge for healthcare systems. The development of risk prediction models can partly alleviate this problem by supporting primary care interventions and public health planning. Here, we introduce SPARRAv4, a predictive score for EA risk that will be deployed nationwide in Scotland.
