Temporal and spatial characteristics of the Beaufort Sea ambient noise environment by Chen, R., Schmidt, H.

“…In particular, the influx of warm Pacific water, so called the Beaufort Lens, has dramatically altered the level and vertical directionality of ambient noise, creating a low noise zone in the ∼75–250 m depth interval with a noise notch at low grazing angles. …”

An enhanced fourier neural operator surrogate for radioactive plume transport forecasting by Ayoub, Ali, Wainwright, Haruko M., Wang, Lijing, Sansavini, Giovanni

“…The speed and efficiency of this framework offers a powerful tool for swift decision-making during emergencies, facilitating risk-informed protective actions, evacuation execution, and zone delineation. Its application extends to various contaminant release and transport problems, and can be instrumental in engineering tasks requiring uncertainty quantification (UQ) for environmental risk assessment.…”

Simulation of dwell-to-penetration transition for SiC ceramics subjected to impact of tungsten long rods by Yuan, Jianming, Tan, Geoffrey Eng Beng, Goh, Wei Liang

“…Ceramic damage initiates from the edge of the projectile and then forms a damaged zone in front of the projectile. Compared to the radial prestress, the buffer more effectively suppresses damage initiation to fulfil interface dwell at a higher transition velocity.…”

Numerical analysis in rock blasting by Wang, Kaihao.

“…In addition, the PPV damage criterion was adopted to study the damage zone around the charge hole. Empirical formulas considering the distance from the blast centre and weight of charge were obtained to estimate the particle velocity based on the numerical results. …”

Effects of mindfulness meditation training on tennis serves accuracy and self-confidence by Kor, Vivian Wei Ting

“…Dependent Paired T-test results indicated the experimental group increased in their level of mindfulness as measured by The Mindful Attention and Awareness Scale (MAAS), and reflected an increase in service accuracy performance of the “T” zone. Likewise, significantly lower scores of mindfulness were reported by the control group. …”

Mathematical model of plant nutrient uptake by Roose, T

“…The water uptake model shows that the water saturation can develop pseudo-steady-state wet and dry zones in the rooting region of the soil. The dry zone is shown to stop the movement of nutrient from the top of the soil to the groundwater. …”

Structure of mushy layers grown from perfectly and imperfectly conducting boundaries. Part 1. Diffusive solidification by Hitchen, JR, Wells, AJ

“…For low concentration ratio the high porosity zone spans the full mush depth at early times, before localising near the mush–liquid interface at later times. …”

Evaluation of antimicrobial and antioxidant potential of Oxalis corymbosa extracts by Attique, Sana, Ibrahim, Muhammad, Khan, Changeez, Ali, Akbar, Qadir, Rahman, Khan, Ajmir, Al-Salahi, Rashad, Abuelizz, Hatem A., da Silva Medeiros, Paulo, Moreira Sampaio, Olívia, Campos Curcino Vieira, Lucas

“…Regarding antibacterial potential, each extract exhibited significant activity, with methanolic and ethyl acetate extracts demonstrating the maximum inhibition zone against S. aureus and E. coli, respectively. …”

Overturning of No-Tension Towers by Moir, Katherine

“…Unreinforced masonry is assumed to be incapable of withstanding tension, thus anticipating a progressive fracturing to occur outside the compressive zone of masonry towers as they incline under the force of self-weight alone. …”

Impact of Acoustic and Optical Phonons on the Anisotropic Heat Conduction in Novel C-Based Superlattices by Talwar, Devki N., Becla, Piotr

“…Miniband formation and anti-crossings in ωSLj(k→) lead to the reduction in phonon conductivity κz along the growth direction by an order of magnitude relative to the bulk materials. Due to zone-folding effects, the in-plane phonons in SLs exhibited a strong mixture of XC-like and YC-like low-energy ωTA , ωLA modes with the emergence of stop bands at certain |k→SL| . …”

Standalone immersion cooling for high performance servers by Liang, Wayne

“…Future works are proposed to enhance two-phase immersion cooling methods, including the exploration of the use of more cost-effective and efficient coolant and the possibility of an exploration of an alternate method using a multi-fluid cooling system where different coolant fluid can be used to cool a specific zone of the electronic device to achieve targeted cooling to mitigate any hot spot which may lead to newer findings for future works.…”

Integral modelling of brine discharge in coastal waters by Teo, Wei Qiang.

“…This is achieved by discharging at an angle and establishing a mixing zone. The brine discharge is considered a negatively buoyant jet compared to the ambient water because it is heavier and thus will sink to the sea bed. …”

Ammonia volatilization from urea as affected by tropical‐based palm oil mill effluent (Pome) and peat by Siva, K. B., Aminuddin, H., Husni, M. H. A., Manas, A. R.

“…An attempt was made to establish a preferred environment within the urea-soil reaction zone (microsite) using palm oil mill effluent (POME) and peat. …”

Assessment of the biological durability of oil palm trunk modified with 1,3-dimethylol-4,5-dihydroxy-ethyleneurea (DMDHEU) following subsequent curing at elevated temperatures by Rosli, Siti Nurul Ashikin, Chin, Kit Ling, Lee, Chuan Li, Maminski, Mariusz, Abdullah, Luqman Chuah, Toczylowska-Maminska, Renata

“…High curing temperature (> 180 °C) caused cracks and ruptured the cell walls, exposing the untreated zone of the OPT to biological attack. As a non-biocidal wood modification, homogeneous dispersion of DMDHEU with adequate concentration and curing temperature is important to fully prevent OPT degradation by wood-destroying fungi and termites. …”
