Developing a lightscape application (using a raspberry PI) by Ong, Wenchuan

“…The project aims to develop a web application, which will be hosted within the Raspberry Pi, for controlling the brightness of constant light source from the high power LED via the Raspberry Pi’s General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) pins and gather optimal settings for projecting images with the Light Blaster. …”

Additive friction stir processing by Lin, Longyi

“…The continuous dynamic recrystalisation during FSP also gave finer grains, which was further enhanced with the addition of CNTs through Zener pinning effect. The improvement in tensile strengths due to finer grains through the Hall-Petch mechanism was insufficient to compensate for the drop in Orowan strengthening. …”

Sensor to detect volatile organic compounds emitted by plants by Nivasini

“…The gas sensing performance of the fabricated sensor was tested with the α-pinene VOC. The chemiresistive sensor was fabricated using the 2D Tin+1CnTx class of material from the 2D MXene family. …”

Influence of the exchange symmetry beyond the exclusion principle by Tennie, F

“…In particular, we <em>analytically</em> study the (quasi-)pinning effect which corresponds to a saturation of the GPCs and imposes structural simplifications on the <em>N</em>-fermion state. …”

Somatosensory and clinical profiles of patients with spine-related and clinical framework-based neck–arm pain by Kapitza, C, Ballenberger, N, Luedtke, K, Schmid, AB, Tampin, B

“…Symptom descriptors, such as burning (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.031), tingling (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.018), pins and needles (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.031), numbness (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.016), spontaneous pain (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.001), and electric pain/shock (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.026) were more common in the radicular/radiculopathy groups compared with the somatic/mechanosensitivity groups. …”

Mechanics of fracture and flexure in Antarctic ice sheets and ice shelves by Zhang, H

“…In grounding zones and floating ice shelves, ice fracturing is often associated with flexure modulated by ocean tides and subglacial water flow, as well as stresses created by shearing, such as pinning points. Fracture and flexure significantly affect the vulnerability of Antarctic ice shelves to hydrofracturing and, by altering buttressing effects, the mass balance of the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet. …”

Challenges and applications to operando and in situ TEM imaging and spectroscopic capabilities in a cryogenic temperature range by Tyukalova, Elizaveta, Vas, Joseph Vimal, Ignatans, Reinis, Mueller, Aaron David, Medwal, Rohit, Imamura, Masaaki, Asada, Hironori, Fukuma, Yasuhiro, Rawat, Rajdeep Singh, Tileli, Vasiliki, Duchamp, Martial

“…Such studies are promising for studying the pinning of the ferroelectric and magnetic domains versus temperature, spin-polarized current, and externally applied magnetic field to better manipulate the domain walls. …”

Strategies to modulate Amorphous Oxide Semiconductor properties for low temperature transparent transistors by Kulkarni, Mohit Rameshchandra

“…Such surface modifications can achieve a change in the carrier concentration by change in work function or shifting- pinning of the Fermi level, or additional field generated due to dipoles created at the surface. …”

Fabrication and characterization of graphene and carbon nanotube reinforced bioceramic nanocomposites by Hu, Huanlong

“…The reinforcing mechanism was due to the lubrication and pinning effects of rGO, which resulted in high resistance to penetration, elastic recovery capability, low-cycle fatigue resistance, and microcrack propagation inhibition properties. …”

Effects of heat treatment parameters on the microstructure and mechanical properties of laser power bed fusion (LPBF) 316L stainless steel by Sun, Yuheng

“…No obvious recrystallization was observed when the annealing temperature is below 1300 °C; annealing at 1200 °C for 30 minutes to 2 hours only led to partially recrystallization; full recrystallization was obtained at 1300 °C for more than 30 mins, where similar microstructure and mechanical properties were obtained to CM 316L. …”

Process-structure-property optimisation of basalt fibre reinforced thermoplastic composites by Hoo, Ming Shun

“…The results showed that the optimal MFI at 11.60 g/10mins at 260oC. The mechanical properties recorded showed ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of 708 ± 26 MPa, flexural strength of 1012 ± 43 MPa and elastic modulus of 33.1 ± 1.8GPa. …”
