Mechanistic framework for reduced-order models in soft materials: Application to three-dimensional granular intrusion by Agarwal, Shashank, Goldman, Daniel I., Kamrin, Ken

“…Soft materials often display complex behaviors that transition through apparent solid- and fluid-like regimes. While a growing number of microscale simulation methods exist for these materials, reduced-order models that encapsulate the macroscale physics are often desired to predict how external bodies interact with soft media. …”

Fast Instruction Selection for Fast Digital Signal Processing by Root, Alexander J, Ahmad, Maaz Bin Safeer, Sharlet, Dillon, Adams, Andrew, Kamil, Shoaib, Ragan-Kelley, Jonathan

“…It is challenging for programmers to write down portable integer arithmetic in a C-like language that corresponds exactly to one of these instructions, and even more challenging for compilers to recognize when these instructions can be used. …”

Controlling Electrolyte Properties and Redox Reactions Using Solvation and Implications in Battery Functions: A Mini‐Review by Leverick, Graham, Shao‐Horn, Yang

“…While molecular designs can enable electrolytes with favorable properties like increased (electro)chemical stability, such properties can be manipulated additionally through the intermolecular interactions among species within the electrolyte. …”

Impacts of the Sudden Stratospheric Warming on Equatorial Plasma Bubbles: Suppression of EPBs and Quasi-6-Day Oscillations by Aa, Ercha, Pedatella, Nicholas M., Liu, Guiping

“…The combination of these multi-instrument observations and numerical simulations demonstrates that certain planetary waves like the Q6DW can significantly influence the day-to-day variability of EPBs, especially during the SSW period, through modulating the strength of prereversal enhancement and the growth rate of R-T instability via the wind-driven dynamo. …”

Phase Change Dispersion Made by Condensation–Emulsification by Fischer, Ludger J., Dhulipala, Somayajulu, Varanasi, Kripa K.

“…They are manufactured by high shear equipment like rotor-stator systems. A recently published method to produce emulsions by the direct condensation of the dispersed phase into the emulsifier-containing continuous phase is applied on this PCD. n-Decane is used as PCM, and the melting temperature is -30 °C. …”

Foundational Integration Verification of a Cryptographic Server by Erbsen, Andres, Philipoom, Jade, Jamner, Dustin, Lin, Ashley, Gruetter, Samuel, Pit-Claudel, Clément, Chlipala, Adam

“…We used very different formal-reasoning techniques throughout the stack, ranging from computer algebra, symbolic execution, and verification-condition generation to interactive verification of functional programs including compilers for C-like and functional languages. All these component specifications and domain-specific reasoning techniques are defined and justified against common foundations in the Coq proof assistant. …”

From Opinion Dynamics to Collective Action: How Identity-Based Tolerance Leads to Political Extremism by Liang, Chen E.

“…Current sociological theories attribute the recent surge in political extremism to mechanisms of opinion “homophily” (i.e., like-minded individuals interact more while dissimilar ones might distance) and “assimilation (i.e., interactions homogenize opinions),” which collectively suggest a social world dominated by extreme views. …”

Cross-Shelf Exchange Driven by Dense Flow Down a Canyon by Mier, Christian M.

“…This return flow is initially driven by the dense water eddies descending the canyon and acting like a bucket brigade. At later times, another mechanism may also be at play where large dense cyclonic (anticlockwise) eddies on the northern continental shelf may pull more dense water out of the canyon producing a region of low pressure, near the canyon head, which induces an increase in ambient flow into the canyon. …”
