Temperature dependence of elastocaloric effect in a microstructurally graded NiTi alloy by Chen, Junyu, Wang, Wenqiang, Zhang, Qi, Lei, Liping, Ramamurty, Upadrasta, Fang, Gang

“…Detailed analyses show that while the fine grains present in the core of NiTi sheets reduce the global martensitic autocatalytic nucleation potency and increase strength to broaden Tspan, the coarser grains near the surfaces accommodate interlayer deformation to improve |ΔTad|. …”

Scenes of misrecognition (Koltès, Duras) by Killeen, M-C

“…What is most fascinating about these works is the curious way in which they appear to bear all the markings of confessions yet pointedly refuse to behave like them, thwarting the desire for revelation, catharsis, and closure at every turn. …”

Influence of mesh sizes and orientations on expanded aluminium sheets on tensile performances by Nik Ismail, N A, Roslan, M N, Ismail, A E, El Bakri, H M

“…According to the results of the experiment, specimens with fine mesh have higher tensile stress, which is 44.90 MPa for fine mesh specimens with a 30° orientation, compared to medium and coarse mesh sizes, which have the lowest strength, which is 7.06 MPa for coarse mesh specimens with a 60° orientation. …”

New techniques for automated architectural reconstruction from photographs by Werner, T, Zisserman, A

“…In a similar manner to the Facade approach we first generate a coarse piecewise planar model of the principal scene planes and their delineations, and then use these facets to guide the search for indentations and protrusions such as windows and doors. …”

The other side of the Elbe River: interventions in art, modernity, and coloniality in Poland by Michalska, DJ

“…<p>The artistic practices of Zofia Stryjeńska (1891-1976), Władysław Hasior, (1928-1999), Teresa Murak (1949-) and Roman Stańczak (1969-) all bear testimony – in their own distinct ways – to the ‘shock of the new’, the massive rupture brought by modernisation and capitalism in twentieth-century Poland. …”

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.…”
