Repulsive Casimir effect in Chern insulators by Tiang, Bi Hong

“…In this work, we investigate the possibility of achieving the repulsive Casimir effect between two identical Chern insulators in two directions, i.e. (i) small finite (non- zero) temperature effect on Casimir–Lifshitz interaction between 2D Chern Insulators with Chern number C = 1 and (ii) the zero temperature Casimir interaction between 2D Chern Insulators with higher Chern number C = 3, 4, 8. …”

Phononic real Chern insulator with protected corner modes in graphynes by Zhu, Jiaojiao, Wu, Weikang, Zhao, Jianzhou, Chen, Cong, Wang, Qianqian, Sheng, Xianlei, Zhang, Lifa, Zhao, Yuxin, Yang, Shengyuan A.

“…By using first-principle calculations and topology/symmetry analysis, we find that phonons in both graphdiyne and $\gamma$-graphyne exhibit a second-order topology, which belongs to the specific case known as real Chern insulator. We identify the nontrivial phononic band gaps, which are characterized by nontrivial real Chern numbers enabled by the spacetime inversion symmetry. …”

EXCELLENT SHEEP : The Miseducation of the American Elite and the Way to a Meaningful Life / by Deresiewicz, William, 1964-, author 655683

“…Some of the nation's brightest minds were adrift when it came to thinking critically and creatively and finding a sense of purpose. Excellent Sheep takes a sharp look at the high-pressure conveyor belt that culminates in the skewed applivations Deresiewicz saw firsthand as a member of Yale's admissions committee. …”

Truss-arch model for shear strength of shear-critical reinforced concrete columns by Pan, Zuanfeng., Li, Bing.

“…Experimental observations on 11 Reinforced Concrete (RC) columns tested at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), and existing experimental data of 79 shear-critical RC columns are presented. Significant arch action is found in columns of small shear span-to-depth ratio and high axial-load ratio under shear force. …”
