Review Of The Fatigue Performance Of Stainless Steel 316L Parts Manufactured By Selective Laser Melting by Zhang, Meng, Li, Hua, Zhang, Xiang, Hardacre, David

“…This will aid future works on the characterisation of material against key process parameters and fatigue tests, and support the development of predictive fatigue models in later phase of the project. Ultimately, the study will contribute to the guidelines for the production and certification of metal AM components and assist manufacturers in achieving required material performance.…”

Practical implementation of piezo-impedance sensors in monitoring of excavation support structures by Annamdas Venu Gopal Madhav, Yang, Yaowen

“…However, there were no damages reported in the structure, and hence the PZT sensors, which were initially aimed to capture possible damages, were used later to capture load variations on the struts due to the surrounding soil.…”

Long-term effects of early life rainfall shocks on foundational cognitive skills: evidence from Peru by Pazos, N, Favara, M, Sánchez, A, Scott, D, Behrman, J

“…Our results show significant negative effects of early life exposure to rainfall shocks on EFs—especially, on working memory—measured in later childhood. We also find evidence of rainfall shocks decreasing households’ abilities to invest in human capital, which may affect both FCSs and domain-specific test scores. …”

Social wasps desert the colony and aggregate outside if parasitized: parasite manipulation? by Hughes, DP, Kathirithamby, J, Turillazzi, S, Beani, L

“…Aggregations formed on prominent vegetation, traditional lek-sites of Polistes males, and on buildings, which were later adopted as hibernating sites by future queens. …”

Genetics of female and male reproductive traits and their relationship with health, longevity and consequences for offspring by Benonisdottir, S, Straub, VJ, Kong, A, Mills, MC

Investigation of pulsed electric field operation as a chemical-free anti-scaling approach for electrodialysis desalination of brackish water by Honarparvar, Soraya, Al-Rashed, Rashed, Winter V., Amos G.

“…Considering that the scale-forming ions were transported to the concentrate channel within the first 50 % of the batch time, a novel hybrid pulsed-conventional operation was theorized that leveraged pulsing early in the batch and switched to constant voltage later to expedite the desalination process. Hybrid operation improved the desalination rate compared to a pure PED system and could potentially reduce membrane scaling by decreasing the recirculation period of the concentrate stream.…”

Urban Visual Intelligence: Studying Cities with Artificial Intelligence and Street-Level Imagery by Zhang, Fan, Salazar-Miranda, Arianna, Duarte, Fábio, Vale, Lawrence, Hack, Gary, Chen, Min, Liu, Yu, Batty, Michael, Ratti, Carlo

“…The visual dimension of cities has been a fundamental subject in urban studies since the pioneering work of late-nineteenth- to mid-twentieth-century scholars such as Camillo Sitte, Kevin Lynch, Rudolf Arnheim, and Jane Jacobs. Several decades later, big data and artificial intelligence (AI) are revolutionizing how people move, sense, and interact with cities. …”

The flexible urban grid: adaptation, expansion and evolution in Philadelphia's city block morphology by Ryan, Brent D., Wang, Elaine

“…The second was adaptation through expansion of the grid, first an irregular, ‘unplanned’ grid, and later a regular, ‘planned’ grid. Both expansions reduced 1683 block depths to permit additional east- west circulation and to increase developable block frontage. …”

BKW EOS: history of modifications and further improvement of accuracy with temperature-dependent covolumes of polar molecules by Suceska, Muhamad, Chan, Serene Hay Yee, Stimac, Barbara, Dobrilovic, Mario

“…A hundred years ago (in 1921) Becker proposed an equation of state in which the repulsive term in van der Waals equation of state was replaced by an exponential function. Twenty years later, Kistiakowsky and Wilson modified Becker's equation and used it to calculate the detonation properties of nitroglycerine and mercury fulminate. …”
