Foil Bearing Design Guidelines for Improved Stability by Schiffmann, J., Spakovszky, Z. S.

“…At low compressibility (λ < 2), the optimum shim patterns vary little with bearing geometry; thus, a generalized shim pattern is proposed for low compressibility numbers.…”

Anomalous transport in disordered fracture networks: Spatial Markov model for dispersion with variable injection modes by Kang, Peter Kyungchul, Dentz, Marco, Le Borgne, Tanguy, Lee, Seunghak, Juanes, Ruben

“…We investigate tracer transport on random discrete fracture networks that are characterized by the statistics of the fracture geometry and hydraulic conductivity. While it is well known that tracer transport through fractured media can be anomalous and particle injection modes can have major impact on dispersion, the incorporation of injection modes into effective transport modeling has remained an open issue. …”

Protecting effect of mass transport during electrochemical reduction of oxygenated carbon dioxide feedstocks by Williams, Kindle, Corbin, Nathan, Zeng, Joy, Lazouski, Nikifar, Yang, Deng-Tao, Manthiram, Karthish

“…Our findings indicate that for a planar, polycrystalline Au electrode in an aqueous environment, oxygen reduction current is limited by the transport characteristics specific to the cell geometry and solvent; as a result, mass transport confers a protective effect by mitigating the otherwise thermodynamically and kinetically favorable reduction of oxygen. …”

Hinge–Linker Elements in the AAA+ Protein Unfoldase ClpX Mediate Intersubunit Communication, Assembly, and Mechanical Activity by Bell, Tristan Andrew, Baker, Tania, Sauer, Robert T

“…These results indicate that hinge-linker length and flexibility are optimized for efficient substrate unfolding and support a model in which the hinge-linker elements of ClpX facilitate efficient degradation both by maintaining proper ring geometry and facilitating subunit-subunit communication. …”
