Zirconia spacer electrodes improve microstructural uniformity of flash sintered zirconia ceramics by Prajzler, V, Todd, R

“…A reference 3YSZ sample, which was sintered with stainless steel electrodes only, reached 98.2% of relative density with a notable grain size difference between the central (∼290 nm) and near-electrode parts (∼160 nm). The addition of 3YSZ spacer electrodes improved the final density to 98.9 % and reduced the grain size difference between the central (∼300 nm) and near-electrode parts (∼220 nm) almost by half compared to the reference sample.…”

Computational diagnostics and characterization of combustion recession in diesel sprays by Arguelles, FJ, Fagade, MD, Mehra, J, Xu, C, Sekularac, N, Fang, XH

“…With more recent studies on diesel after end-of-injection (AEOI), combustion recession is identified as a phenomenon where at near nozzle region, high-temperature ignition (HTI) combustion can propagate back to the nozzle tip consuming the unburnt hydrocarbons AEOI. …”

Industrial policy refraction: how corporate strategy shapes development outcomes in Brazil by Zylberberg, E

“…My findings are brought to bear on three traditionally disparate bodies of research –industrial policy, corporate strategy and institutional theory – extending each and also bringing them into fruitful communion with one another.…”

Soft law, hard stakes? State commitment to non-binding international instruments and the case of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples by Villeneuve, L

“…In this thesis, incorporating insights from public international law into rationalist IR approaches, I argue that soft law instruments can have important effects over time and bring substantial costs for states to bear. This is particularly the case for soft law instruments ‘hardening’ through domestic law, treaties or customary international law, increasing the sovereignty and implementation costs attached to commitment. …”

Unravelling giant molecular clouds by Liang, F

Anomalous high-magnetic field electronic state of the nematic superconductors FeSe 1 − x S x by Bristow, M, Reiss, P, Haghighirad, A, Zajicek, Z, Singh, S, Wolf, T, Graf, D, Knafo, W, McCollam, A, Coldea, A

“…We find that the nematic state is dominated by a linear resistivity at low temperatures that evolves towards Fermi-liquid behavior, depending on the composition x and the impurity level. Near the nematic end point, we find an extended temperature regime with ∼ T 1.5 resistivity, different from the behavior found near an antiferromagnetic critical point. …”

2D-3D perovskite memristor with low energy consumption and high stability for neural morphology calculation by Sun, Kaixuan, Wang, Qingrui, Zhou, Long, Wang, Jingjuan, Chang, Jingjing, Guo, Rui, Tay, Beng Kang, Yan, Xiaobing

“…A defect-modulated electron tunneling mechanism is demonstrated using the p-i-n junction model, and it is proven that the conductance state of the memristive device is determined by the defect concentration in the perovskite film near the electrode sides. In addition to the good memristive properties, this 2D-3D perovskite memristor can also function well as an artificial synapse, and its internal defect movement can faithfully simulate the inflow and extrusion of Ca2+ in biological synapses. …”
