Discrete differential geometry driven methods for architectural geometry by Yao, Sidan

“…We then trace integral curves with a rounding strategy to encourage them to go through mesh vertices, which can effectively reduce the number of short segments. Finally, we partition the triangle mesh along the integral curves to extract the quadrilateral patches. …”

High cycle fatigue characterisation and modelling of 316L stainless steel processed by laser powder bed fusion by Zhang, Meng

“…In the presence of tensile mean stress, variations in the plastic deformation properties, as demonstrated by the effects of build orientation and post-processing treatments (annealing or hot isostatic pressing), were found to induce cyclic plasticity, which led to strong fatigue-ratcheting interactions in the high cycle fatigue regime. The simultaneous actions of ratcheting and fatigue generate complex nonlinear relationships between the stress amplitude and mean stress parameters, such that the fatigue properties could not be effectively predicted using traditional stress-based models. …”

Institutions and agricultural transformation: a study of induced innovation in the Philippine rice sector by Montesclaros, Jose Ma. Luis P.

“…Research findings supported the hypotheses that agricultural transformation was impeded by the three factors: 1) an industrialisation-inspired de-facto currency overvaluation regime removed farmers’ potential to capture export markets, the latter serving as a “carrot” for adopting innovation; 2) trade protectionist policies in the rice sector removed import competition as a “stick” for adopting innovation; and 3) industrialisation- and land reform-related capital scarcity among smallholder farmers hindered the dynamics of IIA from taking place. …”

Dimensionality-dependent type-II Weyl semimetal state in Mo₀.₂₅W₀.₇₅Te₂ by Li, Peiling, Deng, Ya, Hsu, Chuang-Han, Zhu, Chao, Cui, Jian, Yang, Xue, Zhou, Jiadong, Hung, Yi-Chun, Fan, Jie, Ji, Zhongqing, Qu, Fanming, Shen, Jie, Yang, Changli, Jing, Xiunian, Lin, Hsin, Liu, Zheng, Lu, Li, Liu, Guangtong

“…Here, by selecting a special sample with the thickness gradient across two- (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) regime, we show strong evidences that Mo$_{0.25}$W$_{0.75}$Te$_{2}$ is a type-II Weyl semimetal by observing the following two dimensionality-dependent transport features: 1) A chiral-anomaly-induced anisotropic magneto-conductivity enhancement, proportional to the square of in-plane magnetic field (B$_{in}$$^{2}$); 2) An additional quantum oscillation with thickness-dependent phase shift. …”

Near-IR and mid-IR (1.55 μm – 2 μm) silicon photonics devices on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform by Zhang, Zecen

“…Furthermore, the mid-infrared (MIR, 2-15 μm) band is also very crucial as many gases and molecules have unique absorption fingerprints in this regime. Hence there is enormous interest in practical realization of passive and optoelectronic devices operating in the MIR range, including optical sensing and environmental monitoring, free-space communications, bio-medical and thermal imaging. …”

Dynamics and stability of evaporating and condensing liquid layers by Wei, Tao

“…With the 1.5-sided model, a regular non-rupture stable pattern is found in the Rayleigh–Taylor unstable layer due to local evaporation and condensation in the diffusion-limited regime. This is in sharp contrast to the prediction of the one-sided model without the convective and diffusive effects of vapor, where local rupture always occurs in finite time. …”
