Topochemical fluorination of some Ruddlesden-Popper phases by Zhang, R

“…The introduction of a cooperative octahedral tilt around the crystallographic z-axis leads to a local breaking of the inversion symmetry of the host lattice on fluorination, although the global inversion symmetry of the lattice is retained due to an alternation in the z-tilt direction in adjacent perovskite sheets.</p> <p>The substitution of Sr²⁺ with Ca²⁺ cations in YSr₂Mn₂O₇ led to an increasing distortion of the metal-oxide framework, resulting in the formation of an orthorhombic symmetry in space group <em>Pnnm</em> adopted by YSr_0.5Ca_1.5Mn₂O₇. …”

Mechanics in dehydration-induced leaf morphing behaviors by Guo, Kexin

“…As the leaf naturally detaches and dries, the leaf lamina shrinks more than the stiff midrib, resulting in in-plane strain mismatch between the mesophyll tissues and the midrib. For thin-sheet materials like plant leaves, uniform uniaxial stretching of the sheet leads to wrinkling, a phenomenon that has been extensively studied analytically and numerically. …”

Study of circulation of traffic agents at the road-side bus-stops by Sim, Si Hui

“…Clear signage can further guide traffic agents, reducing potential conflicts and supporting Singapore's goal of becoming a "car-lite" nation. These findings have significant implications for improving bus-stop designs, ultimately enhancing the safety of pedestrians and bus commuters at bus-stops.…”

Judging with common sense: George Eliot's Romola and the exemplary life by Hayes, PR

“…Here I propose an approach which takes its initial bearings from Kant’s aesthetic theory, and is filled out by George Eliot’s Romola (1862-3), an unusual but richly significant biographical novel which stages the act of judgment-forming.…”

Raphael in 1503: new evidence on the Virgin and Child with a book and contemporaneous drawings by Aceto, A

“…New analysis of a pair of drawings in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, made by Raphael for his ‘Virgin and Child with a book’ in the Norton Simon Museum, Pasadena, has confirmed that they were cut from a single sheet and has shown that they have been trimmed, allowing the landscape study they contain to be properly understood for the first time. …”

Another philosophical look at twistor theory by Gajic, G, Lilani, N, Read, J

“…In this article, we (a) present for philosophers an introduction to twistor theory, (b) consider how the spacetime–twistor correspondence interacts with the philosophical literature on theoretical equivalence, and (c) explore the bearing which twistor theory might have on philosophical issues such as the status of dynamics, the geometrisation of physics, spacetime ontology, the emergence of spacetime, and symmetry-to-reality inferences. …”
