Emergence, Formation and Dynamics of Hot QCD Matter by Scheihing Hitschfeld, Bruno Sebastian

“…The first one is quarkonium transport inside quark-gluon plasma (QGP), the high temperature phase of QCD. Over the past two decades it has been realized that a significant fraction of quarkonium suppression in high energy heavy ion collisions comes from dynamic dissociation and recombination processes, instead of static screening of the interaction potential as originally proposed by Matsui and Satz. …”

Modelling the chemotactic response of escherichia coli to signalling molecule AI-2 by Tan, Pei Yen

“…The predicted chemotactic response from our model is first compared with experimental reports of maltose chemotactic response as the maltose response is well-studied and there exists a wealth of data in the past literature. Our model achieves good agreement with experimental data for maltose at various levels of periplasmic binding protein concentration as well as extracellular attractant concentration. …”

Investigating the inner controls on explosive eruptions using textural analyses and petrology by Bernard, Olivier

“…First, I focus on the Rabaul caldera system (Papua-New-Guinea) where effusive, strombolian, vulcanian and sub-plinian eruptions occured in the past 120 years without any noticeable chemical changes in the magma compositions. …”

Surface wave interactions with submerged horizontal viscoelastic sheets by Sree, Dharma K. K., Mandal, Sourav, Law, Ardrian Wing-Keung

“…For larger submergence, a standing wave pattern with primarily lower order modes develops along the sheet with a significant reduction of transmitted wave energy past the sheet region for shorter period waves. An almost complete cutoff (up to 99% reduction in wave energy transmission) occurs with the flexible sheet held close to the mean water level (MWL), while 50-90% reduction in wave energy transmission is recorded with the stiffer sheets. …”

Investigation of membrane fouling phenomenon using molecular dynamics simulations: a review by Ma, Yunqiao, Chew, Jia Wei

“…Membrane fouling remains a tremendous obstacle in the implementation of membrane technology, which has motivated the use of a wide range of experimental techniques to study and understand fouling behavior in the past decades. However, molecular-level insights, which underlie the macroscopic phenomena observable experimentally-, remain incomplete. …”

Theory-guided machine learning to predict configurational energies of high distortion alloy systems by Huang, Xufa

“…Matminer features have proved effective for predicting material properties such as bandgap, elastic constants, formation energies, adsorption energies, and ferromagnetic properties in the past. Using recursive feature elimination, optimized based on stable weight assignment of ridge regularization, we sieved out only important descriptors in a high dimensional framework where configurational energy labels vastly exceed the number of descriptors. …”

A numerical modeling approach for better differentiation of boulders transported by a tsunami, storm, and storm-induced energetic infragravity waves by Watanabe, Masashi, Goto, Kazuhisa, Roeber, Volker, Kan, Hironobu, Imamura, Fumihiko

“…Coastal boulders are often indicators of past extreme wave events. In fact, the coastal boulder distribution induced by infragravity-dominated storm waves (energetic IG waves) may be similar to that induced by tsunamis; however, this assumption is yet to be investigated. …”

Design, characterization and properties of nitrogen-containing novel organic N-type materials by Wu, Yuechao.

“…In past decades,organic semiconductors have caused a lot of interests because of their potential applications in field-effect transistors(FET),organic-light-emitting devices(OLED)and photovoltaic cells.Among them,developing high-efficient n-type organic materials for organic field-effect transistors(OFETs)is very urgent.Currently, p-type organic semiconductors are well-developed and their mobility can go as high as4.8 cm2V-1S-1.Since p-type and n-type materials are equally important for the fabrication of p-n junctions and complementary logic circuits,the demand to find the promising n-type counterparts is necessary. …”
