Structural behaviour of 2D post-tensioned precast beam-column sub-assemblages subjected to column loss scenario by Tran, Manh Ha, Tan, Kang Hai

“…The test results indicated that both unbonded and bonded parabolic-shaped PT significantly enhanced compressive arch action (CAA) and catenary action (CA) beyond basic flexural capacity, and also changed the plastic hinge mechanism in the precast beams. The specimen with unbonded PT could provide greater residual capacity than bonded PT, but the former was severely damaged by fracture of normal reinforcement and crushing of concrete rather than fracture of the tendon. …”

Nanosensors for regenerative medicine by Yeo, David C., Wiraja, Christian, Mantalaris, Athanasios (Sakis), Xu, Chenjie

“…While genetic engineering techniques allow cells to express molecules with detectable signals (e.g., fluorescence, luminescence, T1 (spin–lattice)/T2 (spin–spin) contrast in magnetic resonance imaging, radionuclide), concerns arise regarding technical complexity, high-cost of genetic manipulation, as well as mutagenic cell dysfunction. …”

Optically detected magnetic resonance spectroscopic analyses on the role of magnetic ions in colloidal nanocrystals by Dehnel, Joanna, Harchol, Adi, Barak, Yahel, Meir, Itay, Horani, Faris, Shapiro, Arthur, Strassberg, Rotem, de Mello Donegá, Celso, Demir, Hilmi Volkan, Gamelin, Daniel R., Sharma, Kusha, Lifshitz, Efrat

“…Incorporating magnetic ions into semiconductor nanocrystals has emerged as a prominent research field for manipulating spin-related properties. The magnetic ions within the host semiconductor experience spin-exchange interactions with photogenerated carriers and are often involved in the recombination routes, stimulating special magneto-optical effects. …”

Polarized fragmenting jet functions in inclusive and exclusive jet production by Kang, Zhong-Bo, Xing, Hongxi, Zhao, Fanyi, Zhou, Yiyu

“…As examples, we provide numerical results for the spin asymmetry A TU , T cos ϕ S − ϕ ̂ S h $$ {A}_{TU,T}^{\cos \left({\phi}_S-{\hat{\phi}}_{S_h}\right)} $$ from polarized semi-inclusive hadron-in-jet production in polarized pp collisions at RHIC kinematics, where a transversely polarized quark would lead to the transverse spin of the final-state hadron inside the jet and is thus sensitive to the transversity fragmentation functions. …”
