Converse flexoelectric effect in comb electrode piezoelectric microbeam by Shen, Zhiyuan, Chen, Wei

“…The fringe electric field of a comb electrode induces converse flexoelectric responses in uniformly poled and depoled beams. The simulated electric field distribution shows that bending of the beam is induced by piezoelectric and μ11, μ12 flexoelectric coefficients. …”

Behaviour and design of hot-rolled stainless steel channel section members by Li, Shuai

“…At cross-sectional level, six stub column tests and twenty eccentrically loaded stub column tests about the major and minor principal axes were performed to investigate the local buckling behaviour of channel sections under isolated and combined loadings, respectively. At member level, ten column tests and ten beam-column tests were conducted to study the flexural buckling behaviour of channel section columns and global buckling behaviour of channel section beam-columns, respectively. …”

Static elastic properties of composite materials containing microspheres by Jones, GW

“…Subsequently, we analyse the buckling criterion asymptotically in the limit as the thickness ratio tends to zero by analogy with the WKB analysis of a beam on a variable-stiffness substrate. …”

Polariton condensate transistor switch by Liew, Timothy Chi Hin, Gao, T., Eldridge, P. S., Tsintzos, S. I., Stavrinidis, G., Deligeorgis, G., Hatzopoulos, Z., Savvidis, P. G.

“…A polariton condensate transistor switch is realized through optical excitation of a microcavity ridge with two beams. The ballistically ejected polaritons from a condensate formed at the source are gated using the 20 times weaker second beam to switch on and off the flux of polaritons. …”

Cold atoms laboratory in a hollow core fiber by Leong, Wui Seng

“…Cold $^{85}\text{Rb}$ atoms of temperature $\sim$\SI{6}{\micro\kelvin} are loaded into a Kagome type photonic crystal hollow-core fiber (HCF) through an optical trapping beam coupled into the HCF. I first demonstrate an inertia-sensitive Mach-Zehnder atom interferometer using two counter-propagating Raman beams. …”

Librarian as fair witness : a comparison of Heinlein's futuristic occupation and today's evolving information professional by Still, Julie M.

“…The discussion on librarianship as a profession tends to focus on technology and not so much the people, other than the people skills needed in reference or teaching skills needed for instruction. …”

Polymeric composites for powder-based additive manufacturing : materials and applications by Yuan, Shangqin, Shen, Fei, Chua, Chee Kai, Zhou, Kun

“…As one of the most important categories in the additive manufacturing (AM) field, powder-based techniques, such as selective laser sintering, electron beam melting and selective laser melting, utilize laser or electronic beams to selectively fuse polymeric, metallic, ceramic or composite powders layer-by-layer into desired products according to their computer-aided design models. …”

The servant's betrayal : the oppression of South Asian servant figures and it's potential solutions in the white tiger and the god of small things by Terrina Kaur Sandhu

“…The discussion of servants in literature has largely been limited to European servants. South Asian servants are hardly explored as servant figures, and rather, tend to fall under the category of “subaltern,” thus homogenising their oppression with that of every other subaltern. …”

The paradoxes of wind power by Keay, M

“…Furthermore, the economics of wind power are affected by two trends which tend to move in opposite directions – on the one hand, as the technology improves, costs tend to fall; on the other, since the costs are site specific, the best sites tend to be used first so leading to a rising cost curve over time. …”

Compact x-ray source based on burst-mode inverse Compton scattering at 100 kHz by Bessuille, J., Brown, P., Carbajo, S., Dolgashev, Valery A., Lin, H., Murari, K., Resta, G., Tantawi, S., Zapata, L. E., Graves, William S., Hong, Kyung-Han, Ihloff, Ernest E., Khaykovich, Boris, Nanni, Emilio Alessandro, Kaertner, Franz X., Moncton, David E.

“…At a photon energy of 12.4 keV, the predicted x-ray flux is 5×10[superscript 11]  photons/second in a 5% bandwidth and the brilliance is 2 × 10[superscript 12]  photons/(sec mm[superscript 2] mrad[superscript 2]  0.1%) in pulses with rms pulse length of 490 fs. The nominal electron beam parameters are 18 MeV kinetic energy, 10 microamp average current, 0.5 microsecond macropulse length, resulting in average electron beam power of 180 W. …”

Determination of solubility parameters of ionic liquids and ionic liquid/solvent mixtures from intrinsic viscosity by Weerachanchai, Piyarat, Wong, Yuewen, Lim, Kok Hwa, Tan, Timothy Thatt Yang, Lee, Jong-Min

“…Considering the effect on partial solubility parameters of the solvent type in the ionic liquid, it was observed that in both 3D methods, the dispersion and polar parameters of a 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate/solvent (60:40 vol %) mixture tend to increase as the total solubility parameter of the solvent increases.…”
