Some Energy Issues for a Nanoscale Electrostatic Potential Well in Saline Solutions by Jingkun Guo, Zijin Lei, Fan Wang, Jingjing Xu, Shengyong Xu

“…In this study, we present a simulation study on the trapping performance of dipole clusters, which are arranged in 10 nm-sized, pentagon-shaped structures in a saline solution. The influence of electrostatic energy, entropy, and van der Waals interaction on the trapping performance of these nanostructures is then systematically calculated. …”

THE PROBLEM OF REVERSION OF OKINAWA IN THE US-JAPAN POSTWAR RELATIONS by Д В Стрельцов

“…The main obstacle for the implementation of this decision was the nuclear weapon stored in Okinawa, which played an important role in the global strategy of Pentagon. The United States managed to find an option of reversion Okinawa to Japan in 1972, under which they retained the right to store nuclear weapons in Okinawa and to transit them through the island in the case of emergency. …”

Study on the thrust generated by a thin plate imitating fish’s caudal fin by Mitsuhiro NAKAJIMA, Yoshihiro KUBOTA, Osamu MOCHIZUKI

“…We adopt an equilateral triangular, square, regular pentagon and hexagon as the shape of the plate. There are two ways of yielding thrust of fish; 1) drag-type as seen in flatfish and cod, and 2) lift-type as seen in tuna and shark. …”

Cyber warfare trends and future by Ganji, Majid, Dehghantanha, Ali, Udzir, Nur Izura, Damshenas, Mohsen

“…Nowadays, an old fiction known as cyber warfare is coming true. US Pentagon declared Cyber Warfare as “Act of War” [1] which makes the Cyber Warfare one of the battlefields (sea, ground, space and air) [2]; if any type of cyber warfare gets detected, the identified source of the attack is responsible of any serious reactions. …”

A refined finite element analysis on the vibrational properties of ideal and degenerated carbon nanostructures by Imani Yengejeh, S., Kazemi, S. A., Ivasenko, O., \xD6chsner, A.

“…For this purpose, four common types of atomic defects (i.e. different types of vacancy defects, perturbation, pentagon-heptagon pair defect and chemical doping) were introduced to the finite element models and their vibrational properties were obtained and finally compared to those of perfect, i.e. defect-free, structures. …”

HANNAH ARENDT – O LECTURĂ STIMULATIVĂ PENTRU TEORETICIENII DIN DOMENIUL RELAȚIILOR INTERNAȚIONALE by Viorella Manolache

“…The active/activa image of Hannah Arendt is required to be engaged here – in the corpus of the present article to the rule of three; on the one hand, through the indirectly-justifying reporting of her role and place in the context of international relations, through a reading – punctually – applied (as Hannah Arendt attributed to Pentagon Papers, extending the philosophical significance to political/politics); on the other hand, by placing – as place and role – into the group portrait of women-thinkers of political theory; and through the evaluation of two approaches (Anthony F. …”

Electrical resistivity of polycrystalline graphene: effect of grain-boundary-induced strain fields by S. E. Krasavin, V. A. Osipov

“…To this end, we have formulated the model based on Boltzmann transport theory which properly takes into account the microscopic structure of grain boundaries (GB) as a repeated sequence of heptagon–pentagon pairs. We show that at naturally low GB charges the strain field scattering dominates and leads to physically reasonable and, what is important, experimentally observable values of the electrical resistivity. …”
