Development and validation of an online dynamic nomogram based on the atherogenic index of plasma to screen nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

Abstract Background Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a common liver disease worldwide, can be reversed early in life with lifestyle and medical interventions.This study aimed to develop a noninvasive tool to screen NAFLD accurately.Methods Risk factors for NAFLD were identified using multivariate logistic regression analysis, and an online

Al-MWCNT nanocomposite synthesized via spark plasma sintering: effect of powder milling and reinforcement addition on sintering kinetics and mechanical properties

In this work, the effect of mechanical milling of aluminium (Al) powder and subsequent addition of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as reinforcement followed by powder mixture consolidation via spark plasma sintering has been investigated.Grain growth during sintering, densification behaviour and mechanical properties (microhardness and compre
