An elastomer with ultrahigh strain-induced crystallization by Hartquist, Chase M, Lin, Shaoting, Zhang, James H, Wang, Shu, Rubinstein, Michael, Zhao, Xuanhe

“…However, the crystallinity induced by mechanical stretching in common elastomers (e.g., natural rubber) is typically below 20%, and the stretchability plateaus due to trapped entanglements. We report a class of elastomers formed by end-linking and then deswelling star polymers with low defects and no trapped entanglements, which achieve strain-induced crystallinity of up to 50%. …”

Low temperature combustion of cooking fume. by Muliyanni Zakaria.

“…Sampling was done at different foodcourts by using a sampling pump attached to glass containing sorbents to trap the air of the foodcourt environment. Then, extraction of trapped cooking fume was done through sonication of flask filled with sorbents in an extracting solvent. …”

Stewardship and social justice: implications of using the precautionary principle to justify burdensome antimicrobial stewardship measures by Johnson, T

“…If that harm is uncertain but serious, the precautionary principle might apply to the issue, and might require taking ‘precautionary measures’ to avert the threat of antimicrobial resistance, including stewardship interventions like antibiotic prescription caps, bans on certain uses in farming sectors, and eliminating over-the-counter uses of antibiotics. …”

Relativistic superfluidity and vorticity from the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation by Xiong, Chi, Good, Michael R. R., Guo, Yulong, Liu, Xiaopei, Huang, Kerson

“…The primary application is to cosmology, but we also discuss the reduction to the nonrelativistic nonlinear Schrödinger equation, which is widely used in describing superfluidity and vorticity in liquid helium and cold-trapped atomic gases.…”
