Effect of dopant solubility and excess doping on the superconducting properties of doped Nb3Sn prepared by field assisted sintering technique by Srivastava, N, Matthews, GAB, Liu, J, Speller, SC, Grovenor, CRM, Santra, S

“…Meanwhile, excessive Y plays an important role in the formation of additional flux pinning centers. The critical current density (J_c) shows a significant increase for all the Y-doped Nb₃Sn alloys by a factor of 29 % due to the formation of Y₂O₃ from the residual Y, which is assumed to serve as additional flux pinning center. …”

Delving deeper into the whorl of flower segmentation by Nilsback, M, Zisserman, A

“…This is a challenging problem because of the sheer variety of flower classes, the variability within a class and within a particular flower, and the variability of the imaging conditions – lighting, pose, foreshortening, etc.…”

Proteomic and metabolomic analyses of the human adult myocardium reveal ventricle-specific regulation in end-stage cardiomyopathies by Hunter, B, Li, M, Parker, BL, Koay, YC, Harney, DJ, Pearson, E, Cao, J, Chen, GT, Guneratne, O, Smyth, GK, Larance, M, O’Sullivan, JF, Lal, S

“…Inter-ventricular significance of these metabolic pathways was then found to be diminished within end-stage dilated cardiomyopathy and ischaemic cardiomyopathy, while heart failure-associated pathways were increased in the left ventricle relative to the right within ischaemic cardiomyopathy, such as fluid sheer-stress, increased glutamine-glutamate ratio, and down-regulation of contractile proteins, indicating a left ventricular pathological bias.…”

Large scale paired antibody language models by Kenlay, H, Dreyer, FA, Kovaltsuk, A, Miketa, D, Pires, D, Deane, CM

“…With the advent of next-generation sequencing, billions of antibody sequences have been collected in recent years, though their application in the design of better therapeutics has been constrained by the sheer volume and complexity of the data. To address this challenge, we present IgBert and IgT5, the best performing antibody-specific language models developed to date which can consistently handle both paired and unpaired variable region sequences as input. …”

The Brazilian disc test for rock mechanics applications : review and new insights by Li, Diyuan, Wong, Louis Ngai Yuen

“…The maximum tensile stress and the maximum tensile strain are both found to occur about 5 mm away from the two loading points along the compressed diameter of the disc, instead of at the center of the disc surface. Therefore, the crack initiation point of the Brazilian test for rocks may be located near the loading point when the tensile strain meets the maximum extension strain criterion, but at the surface center when the tensile stress meets the maximum tensile strength criterion.…”

“…The underlying PL mechanism is explained in the framework of quantum confinement-luminescence center model. The photoexcitation process occurs in the nc-Si quantum dots embedded in the host SiC matrix, whereas the photoemission process occurs in the luminescence centers in the surrounding SiC or at SiC-Si interfaces. …”
