Characterizing the spectrum of slip behavior at the Sumatran subduction zone with long-term geodetic records by Tsang, Louisa Lok Hang

“…I examine a range of oceanographic and tectonic processes that can potentially explain these observations, and find that the most likely explanation is a 15-year-long slow slip event on the Banyak Islands section of the Sunda megathrust. …”

Local climate action from the middle-out: the social potential of craft guilds to facilitate low-carbon installations in Germany by Wehden, S, Janda, KB, Jansen, J, Creutzig, F

“…Situated between policymaking and on-the-ground installation, guilds have unique agency and capacity qualities deriving from preferential access to the local implementers of low-carbon transitions and legal commissions with critical tasks including training, informing, and associating installers. However, we find that guilds suffer from resource constraints, membership declines, and a lack of deliberate activation. …”

Spontaneous emission of a quantum emitter near a Chern insulator : interplay of time-reversal symmetry breaking and Van Hove singularity by Lu, Bing-Sui, Arifa, Kathee Zathul, Hong, Xing Ru

“…To this end, we obtain the full real-frequency behavior of the conductivity tensor by performing a tight-binding calculation based on the Qi-Wu-Zhang model and using a Kubo formula, and derive the full electromagnetic Green tensor of the system, which breaks Onsager reciprocity. …”

Patterns of link reciprocity in directed, signed networks by Gallo, A, Saracco, F, Lambiotte, R, Garlaschelli, D, Squartini, T

“…Most of the analyses concerning signed networks have focused on the balance theory, hence identifying frustration with undirected, triadic motifs having an odd number of negative edges; much less attention has been paid to their directed counterparts. To fill this gap, we focus on signed, directed connections, with the aim of exploring the notion of frustration in such a context. …”

A novel bearingless interior permanent magnet slice motor for pump* by Kant, Krishan, Weinreb, Benjamin S., Hegy, Michael, Gartner, Mark, Trumper, David L.

“…Since the cogging torque is a result of the motor geometry, finite element (FE) simulation is used to simulate various rotor geometries to find the desired rotor configuration. FE simulations are also used to obtain other parameters like force and torque constant, and magnetic stiffness for designing control. …”
