Aerogel and ionogel strain sensors by Tan, Melissa Siew Ting

“…In the first part, a low density and electrically conductive aerogel polymer composite was fabricated using resorcinol formaldehyde and cross-linked carbon nanotubes. While the aerogel displayed high piezoresistive sensitivity, its low compressibility rendered it unsuitable for electronic-skin applications. …”

Scaling of the velocity profile in strongly drag reduced turbulent flows over an oscillating wall by Skote, Martin

“…As a result, logarithmic part is influenced by both velocity scales and the slope of the velocity profile is directly linked to the DR. The theoretically obtained results are verified by data from six previously performed direct numerical simulations (DNSs) of boundary layers over spatial and temporal wall oscillations, with a wide range of resulting DR. …”

Inherently vulnerable? Ethnic geography and the intensity of violence in the Bosnian civil war by Di Salvatore, J

“…Existing research on ethnic conflict focuses on regional configurations of ethnicity, thus neglecting how local vulnerable pockets of minorities may become primary targets for violence. The mechanism linking minority enclaves to more violence posits that the regional majority group will fight local minorities in order to (i) create ethnically homogeneous areas and (ii) remove potential support for the other group by the local minority. …”
