Constructing 3D self-supporting surfaces with isotropic stress using 4D minimal hypersurfaces of revolution by Ma, Long, He, Ying, Sun, Qian, Zhou, Yuanfeng, Zhang, Caiming, Wang, Wenping

“…The existing thrust network analysis methods discretize both geometry and material by approximating the continuous stress field through uniaxial singular stresses, making them an ideal tool for analysis and design of beam structures. In contrast, our method works on piecewise linear surfaces with continuous material. …”

On shear adhesion of adhesive fibrils by Linghu, Changhong, Du, Zihao, Sun, Yi, Chen, Weiqiu, Hsia, K. Jimmy

“…Our model reveals that, depending on the fibrillar aspect ratio, the adhesive fibril exhibits three distinct deformation regimes: thin film shearing, thick block shearing, and slender beam bending. The important parameters governing the shear adhesion of the lap shear system are the aspect ratio of fibrils, elastic moduli of the fibrils and substrates, while the Poisson's ratio of fibrils has no noticeable effect. …”

Growth of gallium nitride nanowires by low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) by Wang, Jianbo

“…Group-III nitrides such as gallium nitride (GaN) have been intensively used for high power electronic, optoelectronic, RF power and sensor applications such as blue light emitting diodes (LEDs), high power and high voltage transistors, etc. In recent years, nanowires have gained interest due to the ability to take advantage of their geometry for improving optical and electrical properties such as increased light absorption, and the freedom synthesis of high quality nano heterostructures on different substrates with large lattice mismatching. …”

Currency and conflict in colonial Nigeria by Pratten, D

“…This chapter examines a central theme in Jane Guyer’s analysis of monetary transactions in Atlantic Africa – the implications of money valuation in relation to social order and disorder in Nigeria. It revisits the case of manilla currency exchange that she has discussed extensively in relation to calculation, ranking and political legitimacy (Guyer 2004, 2009). …”

Anti-suit injunctions – beyond comity by Dickinson, A
