However, these permanent devices showed limitations due to their stress-shielding effect, long-term inflammatory response, and require secondary surgery for removal of the implant after healing is completed. Consequently, the transformation is shifted from a permanent implant to a temporary implant, which is a bioabsorbable metallic implant used during bone tissue healing as a mechanical support for a temporary period and subsequently degrades and eliminates the need for secondary surgery. Magnesium alloy implants have shown as a promising bioabsorbable metallic implant due to their biodegradability, biocompatibility, and mechanical behavior related to bone. However, the abiding problem of Mg-based orthopedic implants is their fast degradation rate, release of Mg²⁺ and hydrogen (which causes bubbles and delayed healing) in the human body, and mechanical failure before completion of healing, thus hindering their clinical applicability. In order to improve the above problems, several researchers have explored and applied different techniques such as alloy composition, surface modification techniques as effective and efficient ways. Therefore, this review comprehensively examines the highlights of permanent and temporary implants, the degradation mechanism of magnesium in vivo, factors affecting the performance of magnesium alloys orthopedic implants, and performance optimization of magnesium-based orthopedic implants in orthopedic applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36919,"journal":{"name":"Results in Engineering","volume":"27 ","pages":"Article 106091"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144604671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Numerous studies have examined how indoor environmental quality (IEQ) and physical design factors in healthcare facilities affect occupants and the effectiveness of control methods, respectively. However, results from independent studies on influential elements may conflict, lack transferability, and recoverability. Therefore, a holistic review on indoor environments and related control methods for healthcare facilities from the restorative perspective is needed. This study analyzes 249 articles to examine the indoor environment’s impact on residents’ restorative perceptions and related control behaviors. It also explores automation modeling methods across various healthcare settings. The results show that the setting of different environments and occupant roles in healthcare buildings can have an impact on the evaluation of the indoor environment. Indoor environmental factors are diverse but lack generalization, and existing standards and models fail to adequately address practical needs, highlighting the need for expanded cross-disciplinary research. Although qualitative evaluation and results on IEQ and physical design factors could be applied to satisfy some groups’ needs, there is a lack of quantitative, personalized and dynamic evaluation frameworks in current healthcare environments. Existing control methods are still predominantly manual, relying on personal literacy and perception, and lack integration and application with automated control technologies. To bridge this gap, this paper outlines future directions and designs a conceptual framework, offering insights for stakeholders on design standards and advanced technology applications to better align healthcare interiors with occupants' needs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36919,"journal":{"name":"Results in Engineering","volume":"27 ","pages":"Article 106010"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144580946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rock salt is globally acknowledged as an optimal medium for energy storage due to its good creep, low permeability, and self-healing capabilities. However, underground compressed air salt caverns are susceptible to damage due to disturbances such as injection and production pressure, leading to increased permeability and compromising the sealing and stability of the reservoir. Rock salt exhibits strong self-healing capabilities and can recover under favorable conditions. This study examines the progress of research on the self-healing characteristics of rock salt damage and systematically reviews the mechanisms, influencing factors, and constitutive models of rock salt self-healing. The primary factors influencing rock salt self-healing include pressure, temperature, humidity, damage, and microstructure. Pressure and humidity facilitate rock salt self-healing, whereas temperature and damage exhibit threshold-dependent effects on the process. Crack tips, necking regions, and surface impurity zones of the crystal are particularly susceptible to healing. The self-healing constitutive models of rock salt were systematically reviewed, and key research challenges and future directions were discussed to provide critical references for ensuring the long-term stability and safe operation of underground rock salt gas storage.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36919,"journal":{"name":"Results in Engineering","volume":"27 ","pages":"Article 106098"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144580945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CECs are a global concern driven by anthropogenic activities, and their plant uptake is critical for environmental remediation and food safety. ML offers powerful predictive opportunities, fostering ecosystem preservation, human health and sustainable development. The review analyzes diverse ML algorithms, including ensemble models (random forest, gradient boosted regression trees, eXtreme gradient boosting) and deep learning (deep neural networks, recurrent neural networks, long short-term memory) alongside key predictors like soil pH, organic matter, and plant traits. It identifies dominant predictors and modelling approaches while highlighting significant research gaps: limited data, inconsistent feature reporting, and underexplored uncertainty-sensitivity coupling. A notable geographic imbalance exists, with China dominating research (82.1 % of 28 studies), followed by the USA (14.3 %) and Italy (3.6 %). Africa, particularly South Africa, is significantly underrepresented despite prevalent CEC pollution in African water bodies, including those used for irrigation, and agricultural vulnerabilities. This reveals a critical gap in global efforts to address crop contaminant risk, necessitating model retraining or transfer learning for African contexts given existing models' China-centric training. The findings underscore the urgent need for standardized databases, global sensitivity and uncertainty analysis and expanded geographic representation to enhance model generalizability and interpretability.
