Enchantment, possession and the uncanny in E.T.A. Hoffmann's ‘The Sandman’ by Dawson, Terence.

“…Der Sandmann (“The Sandman”; 1816) is one his best-known tales, partly because it gave rise to favourites of the ballet and opera repertoires – Delibes’ Coppelia (1870), and one of the self-contained acts of Offenbach’s Les Contes d’Hoffmann (1881) – and partly owing to the enormous impact of the crucial section that Freud devoted to it in his essay on “The Uncanny” (1919). …”

Effects of initial oxide layer on growth of titania nanotubes by Lim, Jonathan Jian Wei.

“…Finally, the tube length decreased drastically with the foils annealed at 800°C owing to the thick rutile oxide layer. Prolonged annealing duration at 400°C led to further crystallization of the annealed oxide layer from amorphous to anatase phase. …”

Tin halide perovskite solar cells with open-circuit voltages approaching the Shockley–Queisser limit by Liu, W, Hu, S, Pascual, J, Nakano, K, Murdey, R, Tajima, K, Wakamiya, A

“…The fullerene derivative indene-C₆₀ bisadduct (ICBA) is a promising alternative to mitigate this drawback, owing to its superior energy level matching with most tin-based perovskites. …”

Mechanical Properties of Lightweight Aggregate Concrete Containing Unground Palm Oil Fuel Ash as Partial Sand Replacement by H. Mohd Hanafi, H. Mohd Hanafi, Muthusamy, Khairunisa, Saffuan, W.A., Budiea, A.M.A., Kusbiantoro, A., Nabilla, M., Rafiza, A.R., Błoch, K.

“…The results show the enhancement of concrete strength relative to the control mixture by using 10% of ash. This is owing to void filling mechanism and product of pozzolanic reaction due to the fine particles of the ash.…”

A lightweight and high efficiency battery charger for electric vehicles by Yue, Xi Tong

“…This auxiliary circuit reactive current is achieved so that zero-voltage switching is guaranteed. Besides, voltage spikes across the output diode bridge of FB converter are eliminated by using two clamp diodes in the circuit, which leads to lower power loss and lower rating of the diodes and output filter capacitor. …”

Piezoelectric single crystal based one-dimensional phased array for breast tissue imaging by Du, Wenya

“…In this thesis, I propose a conformable ultrasound breast patch (cUSBr-Patch) consisting of a one-dimensional (1D) phased array and a nature-inspired patch design, which offers large-area, deep tissue scanning and multi-angle, repeatable breast imaging while avoiding the drawbacks of conventional ultrasound imaging technologies. I used a Yb/Bi-doped PIN-PMN-PT single crystal as the active element due to its superior piezoelectric properties (d33 = 2,800 pC/N, εr = 7,000, k33 = 0.93). …”
