Russian oil – challenges and possibilities by Moe, A

“…After Russian oil production had fallen to a low of 303 million tonnes per year in 1996–8, production picked up rapidly – some years showing an increase exceeding 10 per cent – until 2004 when it reached 459 million tonnes. …”

Energy efficiency: low-hanging fruit for India by Jain, AK

“…At the Copenhagen Conference of Parties (COP) in 2009, India voluntarily committed to reducing its emissions intensity of GDP by 20–25 per cent from 2005 levels, by the year 2020. Although it is currently on track to meet (and perhaps even overachieve) this target, India faces challenges in sustaining this momentum; its population is rapidly urbanizing, but over 50 per cent still work in agriculture, and a third currently lack access to any form of modern commercial energy. …”

Use of WEKA FS for fast ephemeral storage powering academic HPC by Tourte, G

“…As part of this year's University of Oxford Advanced Research Computing (ARC) storage infrastructure upgrade, we implemented a solution using a 275 TiB Weka filesystem for our fast scratch area in our HPC and HTC infrastructure, replacing the existing GPFS solution. …”

Instrumentation optimisation for unicompartmental knee replacement by Arthur, LW

“…<p>The cementless medial Oxford Unicompartmental Knee Replacement (OUKR) has improved outcomes and almost halved revision rates compared to the cemented OUKR at 10 years. However, there is limited understanding of long-term complications of the cementless OUKR beyond 10 years, such as aseptic loosening and bearing fracture, and short-term complications, such as tibial component subsidence (TCS) and tibial periprosthetic fracture (TPF). …”

Pulsed laser scan methodology for single event effect (SEE) qualification by Chua, Chung Tah

“…Thereafter, focused ion beam cross-sectioning, transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy found that the damage was related to nickel (in silicide layer) diffusion towards the gate terminal of the transistor. …”

Design and investigation of block copolymers for dispersion of carbon nanotubes in polymer matrices by Liu, Chengyin

“…To further improve the tensile properties of the SWNTs/epoxy nanocomposites, we fabricated another series of PI-derived block copolymers via ring-opening polymerization initiated from hydroxyl-terminated polyimide of lactide and allyl-bearing 2-methyl-2-(allyloxycarbonyl)propylene carbonate) (MAC) to produce PLA-b-PI-b-PLA (TB1) and PMAC-b-PI-b-PMAC (TB2) which are polyester and poly(ester-carbonate)-derived, respectively. …”

Establishing the association between traditional tobacco, e-cigarette and dual use and mental health problems among high school students: results from a 2022 behavioral surveillanc... by Thepthien, BO, Tinn, CS, Sharma, R

“…This study examined the association among past-year use of conventional cigarette (CC), e-cigarette (EC), dual use (using both CC and EC), with presence of substance use (i.e., alcohol use and marijuana use), having friends and family members who use cigarettes, and mental health problems (e.g., depression, anxiety, psychological distress (PD), problem gambling (PG) and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs)). …”

Response of geostationary communications satellite solid-state power amplifiers to high-energy electron fluence. by Lohmeyer, Whitney, Carlton, Ashley, Wong, Frankie, Bodeau, Michael, Kennedy, Andrew, Cahoy, Kerri

“…We also find that the accumulated voltages reached are high enough to compromise components in the amplifier system, for example, the direct current (DC) blocking capacitor. An electron beam test using a representative coaxial cable terminated in a blocking capacitor showed that discharges could occur with peak voltages and energies sufficient to damage active RF semiconductor devices.…”

Tunable Mechanical Response of Self-Assembled Nanoparticle Superlattices by Dhulipala, Somayajulu, Yee, Daryl W., Zhou, Ziran, Sun, Rachel, Andrade, José E., Macfarlane, Robert J., Portela, Carlos M.

“…Here, we perform in situ nanomechanical experiments that evidence up to an 11-fold increase in stiffness (∼1.49 to 16.9 GPa) and a 5-fold increase in strength (∼88 to 426 MPa) because of surface stiffening/strengthening from shaping these nanomaterials via focused-ion-beam milling. To predict the mechanical properties of shaped NPSLs, we present discrete element method (DEM) simulations and an analytical core-shell model that capture the FIB-induced stiffening response. …”

Opto-mechatronics instrumentation of a specialty optical fiber based optogenetic probe by Gokulnath, Rajendran

“…The galvanometric mirrors in the conventional targeted neuronal stimulation studies were replaced by the Spatial Light Modulators (SLM) in the state of the art optogenetics system due to its superior beam modulation options and response time. However, most of the SLM integrated with the optogenetic systems using coherent fiber bundle are the reflective type which suffers from a major drawback of complex optical configuration. …”
