Fly Ash Proppant Developed for Hydraulic Fracturing by Haydar, Raz Rzgar

“…Additionally, the study compared the performance of volcanic ash-based geopolymers, which outperformed the fly ash-based samples in compressive strength, with the B10W30 volcanic ash mix reaching a compressive strength of 13,988 KPa (2028.79 psi), suggesting volcanic ash as a promising alternative material for proppant development. …”

Development of a tissue-regenerative vascular graft: Structural and Mechanical Aspects by Sirry, Mazin Salaheldin

“…The reinforcement enhanced the mechanical performance of the graft without affecting its tissue-regenerating characteristics, as the predicted maximum wall compression indicated that the reduction in size of pore windows would still allow ingrowth of capillaries and arterioles.…”

The use of recovery modalities by endurance runners by Lemke, Hanette

“…Demographic factors such as gender, age, level of education and monthly income predicted the use of carbohydrates, protein, massage, anti-inflammatory medication, active recovery and compression. Training factors associated with more experience (for example number of marathons) predicted the use of vitamins and minerals, anti-inflammatory medication, active recovery and compression. …”
