Organic donor-acceptor cocrystals for multiferroic applications by Wang, Zongrui, Zhang, Qichun

“…The cocrystallization strategy has provided an efficient route to fulfill room temperature magnetoelectricity in single phase owing to the long-range ordered π-π stacking (donor-acceptor assembled) network, long-lived excitons (with μs lifetime), spin orders (±1/2 s pin) and charge transfer (CT) dipoles in the assembled crystal lattice. …”

The Portevin-Le Chatelier effect of Cu-2.0Be alloy during hot compression by Zhu, Daibo, Wu, Na, Liu, Yang, Liu, Xiaojin, Jiang, Chaohua, Jiang, Yanbin, Zhao, Hongyun, Cui, Shuhui, Xie, Guilan

“…As the strain rate increases, the dislocations outpace the diffusion speed of the solute atoms, limiting their ability to effectively pin the dislocations, resulting in lower dislocation density and serration amplitude. …”

Compatability and equilibrium approach to slender concrete column design (dual project) by Toh, Yi Hui

“…This report evaluates and compares the proposed design method with the Australian code AS3600-2001 for slender concrete column. The failure loads of pin-end columns under short term loading and uniaxial bending are used as a pre-determined factor to analyse the data. …”

The Battle for ‘Trayvon Martin’: Mapping a Media Controversy Online and Offline by Graeff, Erhardt

“…But the story gained attention and controversy over Martin’s death dominated headlines, airwaves, and Twitter for months, thanks to a savvy publicist working on behalf of the victim’s parents and a series of campaigns off–line and online. Using the theories of networked gatekeeping and networked framing, we map out the vast media ecosystem using quantitative data about the content generated around the Trayvon Martin story in both off–line and online media, as well as measures of engagement with the story, to trace the interrelations among mainstream media, nonprofessional and social media, and their audiences. …”

Library cafes : next logical step by Pierce, William

“…But now, in the more relaxed, unencumbered age in which we live traditional library customs and practices once held sacrosanct are being re-evaluated in relation to the bottom line. And the bottom line, at least as far as public libraries are concerned, is getting more people to use the library.…”
