Forty years of the Ellis–Baldwin test by Secrest, N, von Hausegger, S, Rameez, M, Mohayaee, R, Sarkar, S

“…Modern cosmology is built on the assumption that the Universe is homogeneous and isotropic on large scales — but this is challenged by results of the Ellis–Baldwin test that show an unexplained anomaly in the distribution of distant galaxies and quasars.…”

An Analytical Model for Pitch Moment Stiffness of Bolted Connections and Its Application in Ballscrew Bearing Support Block Selection by Harlalka, Akshay D., Slocum, Alexander H.

“…While analytical models for the axial stiffness of bolted joints are well developed, models for moment (angular) stiffness of bolted structures, such as ball screw bearing support blocks, are needed to help engineers rapidly design more efficient precision machines. …”

Raising Two More Fundamental Questions Regarding the Classical Views on the Rheology of Polymer Melts by Ibar, Jean Pierre

“…The current paradigm of polymer flow assumes that (i) the effect of the molecular weight of the macromolecules, M, and of the temperature, T, on the expression of the viscosity of polymer melts separate; (ii) the molecular weight for entanglement, Mc, is independent of T; and (iii) the determination of Mc by the break in the log viscosity curve against log M unequivocally differentiates un-entangled melts from entangled melts. …”

Fabrication of smart structures through selective laser melting (3D printing) (II) by Ong, Cindy

“…The functional properties of shape memory alloys (SMAs) are highly dependent on the alloy’s microstructure, and hence any factor that affects its microstructure, such as its composition, must be carefully controlled to ensure optimal functionality of the alloy. Selective Laser Melting (SLM) of Nickel-Titanium SMAs uses high energy lasers to melt the powder, which in turn alters the microstructure of the alloy. …”

Convective heat transfer performance of airfoil heat sinks fabricated by selective laser melting by Ho, Jin Yao, Wong, Kin Keong, Leong, Kai Choong, Wong, Teck Neng

“…This paper presents the forced convective heat transfer performances of novel airfoil heat sinks produced by Selective Laser Melting (SLM). Heat sinks with staggered arrays of NACA 0024 and NACA 4424 airfoil shaped fins were investigated experimentally and the results were compared with conventional heat sinks with circular and rounded rectangular fins. …”

Symbolic ltl f Synthesis: A Unified Approach for Synthesizing Winning, Dominant, and Best-Effort Strategies by De Giacomo, G, Parretti, G, Zhu, S

“…When a winning strategy does not exist, the agent can either give up or do its best to achieve the goal. In this paper, we develop symbolic techniques to handle the latter case in the context of ltlf. …”

Magnetoelectric Extracellular Vesicle Latency-Targeting (MELT) Nanotherapeutic for the Block-Lock-and-Kill HIV Eradication Strategy by Andre, Mickensone, Kolishetti, Nagesh, Yndart, Adriana, Vashist, Arti, Nair, Madhavan, Raymond, Andrea D.

“…HC69 cells, a microglial model of HIV latency, contain an HIV promoter long terminal repeat (LTR)-GFP reporter and were used for testing the efficacy of a two-step magnetoelectric nanoparticle (MENP) and extracellular vesicle (xEV) latency-targeting (MELT) nanotherapeutic. …”
