Strategic production process design with additive manufacturing in a make-to-stock environment by Chua, Ping Chong, Moon, Seung Ki, Ng, Yen Ting, Lopez, Manet

“…With AM suitable for small volumes of highly customized production, there are various ways of implementing AM in a conventional production line. The aim of this paper is to present a strategic design approach to implementing AM with conventional manufacturing in a complementary manner for parallel processing of production orders of large quantities in a make-to-stock environment. …”

Equilibrium β-limits dependence on bootstrap current in classical stellarators by Baillod, A., Loizu, J., Qu, Zhisong, Arbez, H. P., Graves, J. P.

“…As increases, pressure-driven currents perturb the vacuum magnetic field and often lead to the emergence of magnetic field line chaos, which can worsen the confinement and is the cause of another kind of -limit, the so-called equilibrium -limit. …”

Evaporation of water droplets under the enhanced gas concentration surrounding by Tan, Gary Zhao Quan

“…The temperatures at the apex of the droplet in the liquid phase were also found to be higher than what was measured at the point close to the contact line. The relative humidity calculated based on the predicted vapor pressure computed with the SRT approach appears to support the experimental data gathered. …”

High-intensity two-frequency photoassociation spectroscopy of a weakly bound molecular state : theory and experiment by Kon, W. Y., Aman, J. A., Hill, J. C., Killian, T. C., Hazzard, Kaden R. A.

“…With numerical solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation, we show that this model accurately captures (1) the existence of experimentally observed satellite peaks that arise from nonlinear processes, (2) the locations of the two-photon peak in the spectrum, including AC Stark shifts, and (3) in some cases, spectral line shapes. To better understand these numerical results, we develop an approximate treatment of this model, based on Floquet and perturbation theory, that gives simple formulas that accurately capture the halo-state energies. …”
