Evaporation of sessile saline droplet with surfactant on silicon wafer substrate by Yap, Ming Sheng

“…For the crystallisation process, various number of NaCl crystals are formed near the edge of the droplet during the later stage of evaporation process and move towards the centre as it grow due to the increase in crystal size which becomes confined between the solid substrate and free surface. …”

Two kinds of phase transition in photonic systems with application to optical isolation by Zhou, Xin

“…The behavior of the Dirac modes can be described by a gyromagnetic effective medium model with near-zero refractive index. When two domains are subjected to opposite magnetic biases, there exist unidirectional edge states along the domain wall. …”

Modelling cross-docking in a three-level supply chain with stochastic service and queuing system: MOWFA algorithm by Rostami, Parinaz, Avakh Darestani, Soroush, Movassaghi, Mitra

“…Therefore, three metaheuristics, including multi‐objective water flow, non‐dominated sorting genetic, and a multi‐objective simulated annealing algorithm have been used to find near‐optimal solutions to the problem. After adjusting the parameters of the algorithms using the Taguchi method, the results obtained from the algorithms were analyzed with a statistical test and the performance of the algorithms was evaluated. …”
