Bond and electronic relaxation dynamics of graphene, gold clusters, and water ice by Zhang, Xi

“…The hidden force opposing H2O compression behind the repulsion between nonbonding lone pair and bonding pair of hydrogen bond was revealed by theoretical analysis and molecular dynamics (MD) and ab initio MD calculations: i) the compression shortens and strengthens the intermolecular ‘‘O2- : H+/p’’ lone-pair and stretching phonons (<400 cm-1) are thus stiffened; ii) the repulsion pushes the bonding electron pair away from the H+/p and hence elongates and weakens the ‘‘H+/p–O2-” bond, making stretching phonons (>3000 cm-1) softened upon compression. Three springs model was proposed to build up the fundamental physical model of ‘‘O2- : H+/p–O2-” bond, in order to explain the complicated and anomalous behavior of water and ice. …”

Elongated magma plumbing system beneath the Coso volcanic field, California, constrained by seismic reflection tomography by Wang, Dongdong, Wu, Shucheng, Li, Tianjue, Tong, Ping, Gao, Yongxin

“…Our final velocity model reveals a prominent low-velocity body sitting right beneath the CVF at 5–20 km depths, which we interpret as a rhyolite magma reservoir that supplies heat flux to the hot springs and also feeds the volcanic activities at Coso. …”

Complexities of the San Andreas fault near San Gorgonio Pass : implications for large earthquakes by Yule, Doug, Sieh, Kerry

“…The pattern of crustal seismicity beneath these structures includes a 5–8 km high east-west striking step in the base of crustal seismicity, which corresponds to the downdip limit of rupture of the 1986 North Palm Springs earthquake. We infer that this step has been produced by slip on the linked San Gorgonio Pass-Garnet Hill-Coachella Valley Banning (SGP-GH-CVB) fault. …”

Implementation of dampers to reduce fatigue loading in 3D lattice structures by Chan, Zi Shan

“…An experiment is conducted on the damper materials using a 90mm by 90mm by 30mm PLA structure to determine the frequencies of damped and undamped, before using the Transmissibility equation to find the lowest ratio. It showed that Spring followed by Elastomers, had the lowest transmissibility. …”

THE MARRIAGE PLOT / by Eugenides, Jeffrey, author 375385

“…Madeleine was the girl who dressed a little too nicely for the taste of her more Bohemian friends, the perfect girlfriend whose college love life, despite her good looks, hadn't lived up to expectations. But now, in the spring of her senior year, Madeleine has enrolled in a semiotics course "to see what all the fuss is about," and, for reasons that have nothing to do with school, life and literature will never be the same. …”
