A computational fluid dynamics analysis of cryo-CO2 flow and thermal behaviour in high-speed milling process by Nur Fatini, Mohamad Fauzee, Nurul Hayati, Abdul Halim, Zainoor Hailmee, Solihin, Izdihar, Tharazi, Irnie Azlin, Zakaria, Musfirah, Abdul Hadi

“…Cryogenic CO2 machining performance is mainly dependent on how well heat generated during cutting is dissipated from the cutting zone. Understanding the heat transfer phenomenon is crucial for optimizing thermal behavior and its effects, which remain challenging to capture experimentally. …”

Work / memories of work by Arkomanis, Ektoras

“…Written on postcards which were never sent, the narration is a polyphonic poem with fragments of testimony, collective memory, ethnographic and literary works that traverse centuries: in ancient times, Eleonas was a vast olive grove; in the nineteenth century an infrastructural hub, and more recently an industrial zone. Eleonas has always remained on the margins of the city’s conscience, a wasteland where the city banishes the people and activities it would rather not look at. …”

J-integral analysis: an EDXD and DIC comparative study for a fatigue crack by Koko, A, Earp, P, Wigger, T, Tong, J, Marrow, TJ

“…The position of the crack tip was tracked via a phase congruency analysis of the displacement field, and also by detection of its cyclic plastic zone. Both types of full field data provided independent inputs to finite element/J-integral analyses that directly quantified the elastic cyclic stress intensity factor range applied to the crack. …”

A modified Prandtl-Ishlinskii hysteresis model for modeling and compensating asymmetric hysteresis of piezo-actuated flexure-based systems by Zhou, Chao, Yuan, Meng, Feng, Chen, Ang, Wei Tech

“…Conventional models were presented to model this undesired effect using additional dead-zone operators. This paper presents a new approach using two sets of operators with a distributed compensator to model and compensate for the asymmetric system hysteresis based on inversion calculation with a simplified digitized representation. …”

Why do the outward FDI patterns of China's state-owned enterprises differ from those of private companies? by Zhi, Li.

“…Since China's implementation of the "opening up and reform" in 1979 led by Deng Xiaoping, and the establishment of the first SEZ (Special Economic Zone) - Shenzhen in the early 19807s, huge foreign capital inflows and the active operations of foreign-invested firms have greatly affected China's institutional environment, and intensified market competition. …”
