3D profilometry for turbine blade shape profiling by Koh, Hoe Jyh.

“…The fringe patterns captured by a CCD camera are then analyzed with phase shifting method to retrieve the wrapped phase map. This is followed by temporal phase unwrapping to obtain the unwrapped phase map, which is then paired with calibration parameters to obtain the final 3D result. …”

Study of zero Poisson’s ratio honeycomb composite structure by Chia, Yingxue

“…By using zero Poisson’s ratio honeycomb structure, it may relieve problems of fitting into “out of plane” structures into the desired product shape, allowing the honeycomb sandwich panels to wrap around 2D curved surfaces without geometric trimming and comprising mechanical properties. …”

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%. …”

Biomechanical model of index finger by Fok, Kim Seng.

“…The model had been verified by means of three simulations: flexion-extension ofjoints, pinch grip and power grasp. The simulation also demonstrated the relevance of modelling passive forces generated by structures such as ligaments and soft tissues in order to accurately reproduce the force patterns of the finger seen during movement and static manipulative postures. …”

AI ethics should be mandatory for schoolchildren by Dabbagh, H, Earp, BD, Porsdam Mann, S, Plozza, M, Salloch, S, Savulescu, J

“…Our study delineates the ethical pillars, such as data privacy and unbiased algorithms, essential for students to grasp, and presents a framework for AI literacy integration in elementary schools. …”

Genes for carnivory : a comparative study on the local duplication of papain-like cysteine proteases in carnivorous plants by Tan, Qiao Wen

“…A Droseraceae-specific expansion of PAP/SAG12 genes including 4 previously identified trap proteins suggests that the adoption of PLCPs for carnivory may have occurred in the last common ancestor of D. capensis and D. regia or earlier. …”

Czy Bóg to Gadzio? Religijność i konwersje polskich Romów w perspektywie elastycznych epistemologii romskości by Garapich, Michał P.

“…Following the relational approach of Frederik Barth, Michael Stewart and participatory ethnography of Paloma Gay y Blasco, the article proposes an ethnographically grounded interpretation of new forms of religiosity among Polish Roma emphasizing individual agency, creativity and the so called by Marco Solimene and Stefanii Pontrandolfo flexible epistemologies, through which we can better grasp overall social changes in Poland. English language title: Is God a gadjo? …”

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. …”

Scalable cascade inference for semantic image segmentation by Sturgess, P, Ladický, L, Crook, N, Torr, PHS

“…In this paper we propose meeting this requirement by performing cascaded inference that wraps around the a-expansion algorithm. The cascade both divides the large label set into smaller more manageable ones by way of a hierarchy, and dynamically subdivides the image into smaller and smaller regions during inference. …”

Solution processed transition metal oxides selective contacts for Si heterojunction solar cells by Lu, Chenjin

“…Most importantly, the carrier selectivity of TMOs is believed to be originated from oxygen vacancies related traps, through which carriers are extracted or transported through trap assisted tunnelling across the TMO and Si heterojunction. …”
