Incident Prevention and Mitigation In The Asia Pacific Littorals: Framing, Expanding, and Adding to Cues by Ong-Webb, Graham, Koh, Collin, Miranda, Bernard

“…The first examines the framing of the existing Code for Unplanned Encounters at Sea (CUES) and its expansion as well as any new prevention and mitigation initiatives. The center of gravity and theory of success for CUES must be at operational and tactical levels, this paper highlights, while also proposing that CUES should be expanded to include sub-surface and aerial- based actions as other potential triggers for unplanned encounters and unintended escalations at sea. …”

Dynamic response of airport concrete pavement to impact loading by Cai, Jing, Wong, Louis Ngai Yuen, Yan, Hua Wei

“…If the pavement slab size is decreased, the deflection at the center of the slab will decrease. A nonlinear relationship can be established between h and the maximum deflection, while linear relationships exist between C0 and the maximum deflection, as well as Ks and the maximum deflection.…”

Bond order resolved 3d 5/2 and valence band chemical shifts of Ag surfaces and nanoclusters by Sun, Changqing, Qin, Wei, Wang, Yan, Huang, Yongli, Zhou, Zhaofeng, Yang, Chao

“…Theoretical reproduction of the measured spectroscopic data derived that the 3d5/2 energy of an isolated Ag atom shifts from 363.02 to 367.65 eV and the valence band center from 0.36 to 8.32 eV upon bulk formation. The extended Wagner plots revealed the coefficients of valence recharging and potential screening to be 1.21 and 1.56 for Ag interacting with Al2O3 substrate and 1.15 and 1.50 for Ag with CeO2, respectively. …”

Optimization of superconducting properties of the stoichiometric CaKFe4As4 by Singh, S, Cassidy, S, Bristow, M, Blundell, S, Clarke, S, Coldea, A

“…The samples were prepared over a wide temperature range (900-1100°C) and the pure phase formation is centered around 955°C. Outside this temperature region, impurity phases of KFe2As2 and CaFe2As2 can also form. …”

Enhanced simulation of atmospheric blocking in a high-resolution earth system model: projected changes and implications for extreme weather events by Gao, Y, Guo, X, Lu, J, Woollings, T, Chen, D, Guo, X, Wu, L

“…In contrast, summer blocking is expected to become more frequent and persistent, driven by weakened zonal winds. The blocking center shifts from historical locations over Scandinavia and eastern Russia to central Eurasia, significantly increasing blocking over the Ural region. …”

Search for lepton number violating decays of D s + → h − h 0 e + e + by Ablikim, M, Achasov, MN, Adlarson, P, Afedulidis, O, Ai, XC, Aliberti, R, Amoroso, A, An, Q, Bai, Y, Bakina, O, Balossino, I, Ban, Y, Bao, H, Batozskaya, V, Begzsuren, K, Berger, N, Berlowski, M, Bertani, M, Bettoni, D, Bianchi, F, Bianco, E, Bortone, A, Boyko, I, Briere, RA, Gilman, A, MacKay, I, Malde, S, Tat, M, Wilkinson, G

“…Based on 7.33 fb−1 of e+e− collision data collected by the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII collider at center-of-mass energies from 4.128 to 4.226 GeV, a search for the Majorana neutrino νm is conducted in the lepton-number-violating decays of Ds+ → h−h0e+e+. …”

Spherical mask: coarse-to-fine 3D point cloud instance segmentation with spherical representation by Shin, S, Zhou, K, Vankadari, M, Markham, A, Trigoni, N

Spatial distribution characteristics of leisure urban spaces and the correlation with population activity intensity: a case study of Nanjing, China by Li, Xinyang, Kozlowski, Marek, Ismail, Sumarni, Salih, Sarah Abdulkareem

“…Population activity intensity (PAI) data at various time points, collected by Baidu heat map, are correlated with LUS distribution through multiple linear regression analysis. (1) Parks and squares exhibit significant clustering tendencies, whereas waterfront spaces show weaker clustering, and leisure blocks are randomly distributed; (2) The central points of all types of LUS are located in the city center, extending from southeast to northwest, with parks and squares offering a broader range of services; (3) The overall LUS layout shows a ‘core and multiple points’ structure, with varying density patterns across different spaces, indicating concentrated and dispersed leisure areas; (4) The correlation between LUS distribution and PAI strengthens throughout the day and is greater on weekends than weekdays. …”

Factors influencing visitors' perception on congestion in Giant Panda Conservation Centre (GPCC), Zoo Negara by Lim, Sin Yun

“…The highest acceptable level toward congestion condition was obtained by the information center in GPCC which is the area where visitors enter after the entrance while the lowest acceptable level toward congestion condition was obtained by the zoovenir shop, which is the souvenir shop in GPCC.Besides, visitors’ overall acceptable level toward congestion was affected by the method of visitors choose to reach GPCC; visitors get the source of information from brochures, magazine and newspaper and secondary education level. …”

Differences in pulse manifestations at Cunkou based on simplified modeling of tactile sensing by Shi, Yubing, Yang, Hongyi, Yeo, Joon Hock

“…Some researchers mentioned that no significant differences were observed in pulse manifestations at various Cunkou areas, hence there might be some difficulty in evaluating the status of different organs through checking pulse manifestations at Cunkou. This research aims to analyze the pulse response at Cunkou from the aspect of the characteristics of tactile sensing, thus to give a preliminary explanation to the above question. …”
