Additive friction stir processing by Lin, Longyi

“…The continuous dynamic recrystalisation during FSP also gave finer grains, which was further enhanced with the addition of CNTs through Zener pinning effect. The improvement in tensile strengths due to finer grains through the Hall-Petch mechanism was insufficient to compensate for the drop in Orowan strengthening. …”

Influence of the exchange symmetry beyond the exclusion principle by Tennie, F

“…In particular, we <em>analytically</em> study the (quasi-)pinning effect which corresponds to a saturation of the GPCs and imposes structural simplifications on the <em>N</em>-fermion state. …”

Somatosensory and clinical profiles of patients with spine-related and clinical framework-based neck–arm pain by Kapitza, C, Ballenberger, N, Luedtke, K, Schmid, AB, Tampin, B

“…Symptom descriptors, such as burning (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.031), tingling (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.018), pins and needles (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.031), numbness (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.016), spontaneous pain (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.001), and electric pain/shock (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.026) were more common in the radicular/radiculopathy groups compared with the somatic/mechanosensitivity groups. …”

Liquid immersion cooling with enhanced Al2O3 nanofluid for large-format prismatic battery pack: Numerical and statistical investigation by Yousefi, Elnaz, Talele, Virendra, Moralı, Uğur, Mishra, Dhananjay, D., Ramasamy, K., Kadirgama, Najafi Khaboshan, Hasan, Kanthale, Sarthak, Panchal, Satyam

“…The widespread adoption of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) owes much to the surging demand for electric vehicles, driven by their advantageous traits such as compact size, low resistance, high power density, and minimal self-discharge rates. …”

Towards Spatially Varying Gloss Reproduction for 3D Printing by Piovarci, Michal, Foshey, Michael, Babaei, Vahid, Rusinkiewicz, Szymon, Matusik, Wojciech, Didyk, Piotr

“…The main difficulty in automating this process lies in the physical properties of the varnishes which owe their appearance to a high concentration of large particles and as such, they cannot be easily deposited with current 3D color printers. …”

Mechanics of fracture and flexure in Antarctic ice sheets and ice shelves by Zhang, H

“…In grounding zones and floating ice shelves, ice fracturing is often associated with flexure modulated by ocean tides and subglacial water flow, as well as stresses created by shearing, such as pinning points. Fracture and flexure significantly affect the vulnerability of Antarctic ice shelves to hydrofracturing and, by altering buttressing effects, the mass balance of the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet. …”

Analysis and design of curved steel beam member in elevation using Eurocode 3 by Yandarmadi, Kelvin

“…This paper specifically focuses on analysing simply supported boundary condition curved beam member which pinned on the one end and roller that can be moved horizontally on the other end. …”

Regulation of microRNA degradation in Caenorhabditis elegans via the E3 ubiquitin ligase EBAX-1 by Stubna, Michael William

“…Some rapidly degraded miRNAs owe their instability to a mechanism termed target-directed miRNA degradation (TDMD), whereby unusual miRNA binding sites with extensive complementarity to the miRNA promote a conformational shift in AGO, leading to the recruitment of an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex containing the substrate receptor ZSWIM8. …”

Challenges and applications to operando and in situ TEM imaging and spectroscopic capabilities in a cryogenic temperature range by Tyukalova, Elizaveta, Vas, Joseph Vimal, Ignatans, Reinis, Mueller, Aaron David, Medwal, Rohit, Imamura, Masaaki, Asada, Hironori, Fukuma, Yasuhiro, Rawat, Rajdeep Singh, Tileli, Vasiliki, Duchamp, Martial

“…Such studies are promising for studying the pinning of the ferroelectric and magnetic domains versus temperature, spin-polarized current, and externally applied magnetic field to better manipulate the domain walls. …”

Strategies to modulate Amorphous Oxide Semiconductor properties for low temperature transparent transistors by Kulkarni, Mohit Rameshchandra

“…Such surface modifications can achieve a change in the carrier concentration by change in work function or shifting- pinning of the Fermi level, or additional field generated due to dipoles created at the surface. …”

Fabrication and characterization of graphene and carbon nanotube reinforced bioceramic nanocomposites by Hu, Huanlong

“…The reinforcing mechanism was due to the lubrication and pinning effects of rGO, which resulted in high resistance to penetration, elastic recovery capability, low-cycle fatigue resistance, and microcrack propagation inhibition properties. …”
