Fatigue behaviors of square-to-square hollow section T-joint with corner crack I : experimental studies by Chiew, Sing Ping, Ji, Hong Li, Lee, Chi King, Lie, Seng Tjhen

“…Furthermore, branches and secondary cracks, which seldom appear in circular hollow section (CHS) joints, were formed near the end of the test. The test results also indicated that a more stringent criterion should be used to define the fatigue life the joint. …”

Self-Assembly of Semiconducting Polymer Amphiphiles for In Vivo Photoacoustic Imaging by Xie, Chen, Zhen, Xu, Lei, Qunli, Ni, Ran, Pu, Kanyi

“…Despite the advantages of semiconducting polymer nanoparticles (SPNs) over other inorganic nanoparticles for photoacoustic (PA) imaging, their synthetic method is generally limited to nanoprecipitation, which is likely to cause the issue of nanoparticle dissociation. The synthesis of near-infrared (NIR) absorbing semiconducting polymer amphiphiles (SPAs) that can spontaneously self-assemble into homogeneous nanoparticles for in vivo PA imaging is reported. …”

Floquet Codes without Parent Subsystem Codes by Davydova, Margarita, Tantivasadakarn, Nathanan, Balasubramanian, Shankar

“…However, unlike the honeycomb code, it possesses an explicit CSS structure and its gauge checks do not form a subsystem code. Nevertheless, we show that our dynamic protocol conserves logical information and possesses a threshold for error correction. …”
