Deformation and its surface expression in stressed planetary materials by Seltzer, Cassandra

“…Chapter 3 applies these findings to the evolution of icy systems through simulated deformation of ice-melt aggregates, suggesting that current seismic studies which do not correct for the orientation of melt may misinterpret deformation at the base of warm ice sheets. The final two chapters center on deformation mechanisms that may shape the properties of icy outer Solar System satellites as they orbit their host planets. …”

Two-phase immersion cooling for power dense printed circuit board converters by Ristic-Smith, A

“…The volumetric power loss in a ferrite core is characterised at frequencies up to 1.6 MHz and flux densities up to saturation, a substantially wider operating range than is typically provided in material data-sheets. These results indicate it is possible to construct inductors and transformers with up to eight times smaller volume than those cooled by forced air. …”

Developing generic clinical trial animated explainer videos in the UK: results of a survey and case study by Calvert, C, Barber, VS, Appelbe, D, Sprange, K, Nollett, C, Lugg-Widger, F, Tanner, S, Richards, DB

“…AEVs can supplement or provide an alternative to participant information sheets as a means of giving information about clinical research to potential participants. …”

Insights into Li+ Storage Mechanisms, Kinetics, and Reversibility of Defect-Engineered and Functionalized Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes for Enhanced Energy Storage by Kong, Lingping, Zhu, Yuntong, Williams, P. Jason, Kabbani, Mohamad, Brushett, Fikile R., Rupp, Jennifer L. M.

“…To overcome these challenges, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have been explored as an alternative, offering Li+ storage within the interplanar space between graphene sheets, along with excellent electrical conductivity, and eco-friendliness. …”

Data for the ‘Orchid Observers’ project by Shuttleworth, S, O’Donnell, J, Lintott, C, Tweddle, J

“…Volunteers can also extract valuable information from the 15,000 historical herbarium sheets in the NHM. Once the complete dataset has been fully verified and analysed for publication, the historical (i.e. herbarium) data and 2015 field observations will be made freely available through the National Biodiversity Network (https://data.nbn.org.uk/) and NHM Data Portal (http://data.nhm.ac.uk /). …”

Topochemical fluorination of some Ruddlesden-Popper phases by Zhang, R

“…The introduction of a cooperative octahedral tilt around the crystallographic z-axis leads to a local breaking of the inversion symmetry of the host lattice on fluorination, although the global inversion symmetry of the lattice is retained due to an alternation in the z-tilt direction in adjacent perovskite sheets.</p> <p>The substitution of Sr²⁺ with Ca²⁺ cations in YSr₂Mn₂O₇ led to an increasing distortion of the metal-oxide framework, resulting in the formation of an orthorhombic symmetry in space group <em>Pnnm</em> adopted by YSr_0.5Ca_1.5Mn₂O₇. …”
