Experimental and numerical study of self-locking adaptable inter connection for modular steel structures by Nadeem, Gohar, Safiee, Nor Azizi, Bakar, Nabilah Abu, Karim, Izian Abd, Mohd Nasir, Noor Azline

“…Non-linear Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was conducted on this adaptable connection with a parametric study to study more influences of other related parameters. The findings indicated that the gap produced between connection and column under higher displacement was sensitive to the outer bolt and spring pin. …”

The role of post-pyrolysis carbon dioxide capture in hydrogen recovery from waste-derived pyrolysis gas by Wang, Yuxin, Veksha, Andrei, Ong, Joel, Ueki, Yasuaki, Yoshiie, Ryo, Naruse, Ichiro, Lisak, Grzegorz

“…The pyrolysis gas was obtained from various waste-derived feedstocks (municipal sewage sludge, refused derived fuel (RDF), pine sawdust (biomass), and marine litter) by pyrolysis (600 °C), and underwent the treatment with CaO (600 °C) followed by the thermolytic decomposition at 1300 °C. …”

Isotopes as a Tool for Exploring Exoplanet Atmospheres by Glidden, Ana

“…I simulated observations of CO₂ isotopologues in the H₂-dominated atmospheres of our nearest (< 40 pc), temperate (equilibrium temperature of 250-350 K) sub-Neptunes with M dwarf host stars. I find Earth-like fractionation of ¹³CO₂ to be distinguishable only if the atmosphere is H₂-dominated with a few percentage points of CO₂. …”

Design of robot integrated restaurant by Santhosh Pandiaraj

“…On top of that, this project shows how robots tend to be much more efficient and productive in their service as they do not grow tired as the day goes by, do not need to take breaks or medical leaves like humans do. The fact that robots can consistently cook and serve food which meet the desired standard of the restaurant owners, regardless of how long they have been working makes them standout as well. …”

The new physics case for beam-dump experiments with accelerated muon beams by Cesarotti, Cari, Gambhir, Rikab

“…We demonstrate the utility of muon beam-dump experiments for new physics searches at energies from 10 GeV to 5 TeV. We find that, even at low energies like those accessible at staging or demonstrator facilities, it is possible to probe new regions of parameter space for a variety of generic BSM models, including muonphilic, leptophilic, Lμ − Lτ, and dark photon scenarios. …”
