Mid-Infrared optical absorber based on anisotropic black phosphorus and magnesium fluoride by Abdulkawi, Wazie M., Aladadi, Yosef T., Al-Moliki, Yahya Mohammed, Alresheedi, Mohammed Thamer, Mahdi, Mohd Adzir, Abas, Ahmad Fauzi, Ng, Eng Khoon

“…BP has a sufficiently large electronic bandgap, and its high carrier mobility allows for efficient free-carrier absorption in the mid-infrared regimes. Magnesium fluoride is an ideal candidate for the mid-infrared absorber, providing optical transparency, efficient absorption, and antireflection properties due to its low refractive index. …”

Modeling pedestrian activity in cities with urban network analysis by Sevtsuk, Andres, Kalvo, Raul

“…Using Somerville, MA as case example, we demonstrate several commonly used functions for planners: examining pedestrian accessibility over networks; identifying critical walking routes to destinations; estimating foot-traffic on street segments; identifying frustration points for pedestrians; and evaluating how development changes may impact pedestrian activity in their vicinity. …”

Pedestrian-oriented development in Beirut: A framework for estimating urban design impacts on pedestrian flows through modeling, participatory design, and scenario analysis by Sevtsuk, Andres, Kollar, Justin, Pratama, Daniel, Basu, Rounaq, Haddad, Jawad, Alhassan, Abdulaziz, Chancey, Bahij, Halabi, Mohamad, Makhlouf, Rawad, Abou-Zeid, Maya

“…We illustrate how each scenario affects pedestrian trip generation across various trip types and trip distribution on individual street segments. Our approach demonstrates how urban design interventions–both land use changes and street quality improvements–can influence pedestrian travel demand. …”

Anti-complex sets and reducibilities with tiny use by Franklin, Johanna N. Y., Greenberg, Noam, Stephan, Frank, Wu, Guohua

“…In contrast with the notion of complexity, a set A is called anti-complex if the Kolmogorov complexity of the initial segments of A chosen by a recursive function is always bounded by the identity function. …”

An image processing approach to feature-preserving B-spline surface fairing by Kawasaki, Taro, Jayaraman, Pradeep Kumar, Shida, Kentaro, Zheng, Jianmin, Maekawa, Takashi

“…In particular, our approach adaptively partitions the B-spline surface into a set of segments such that each segment has approximately uniform parameterization, generates an image from each segment in the parameter space whose pixel values are the normal vectors of the surface, and then applies a bilateral filter in the parameter domain to fair the normal field. …”

Forecasting the occurrence of injection-induced heterogeneous slip on rock fractures by Fang, Zhou, Jia, Yunzhong, Wu, Wei

“…The determination of frictional resistance is based on the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion with fluid pressure and friction coefficient on discrete segments of the fracture, and the length of fluid pressure front is calculated from hydraulic diffusivity and elapsed time. …”

Mechanistic framework for reduced-order models in soft materials: Application to three-dimensional granular intrusion by Agarwal, Shashank, Goldman, Daniel I., Kamrin, Ken

“…Soft materials often display complex behaviors that transition through apparent solid- and fluid-like regimes. While a growing number of microscale simulation methods exist for these materials, reduced-order models that encapsulate the macroscale physics are often desired to predict how external bodies interact with soft media. …”

The Matter of the Hold: Housing futures and the paradigm of the ship by Donovan, Inge, Pankhurst, David

“…In light of the increasing shift towards buildings as storehouses of material to be held for future reuse, and as vessels of carbon sequestration, our thesis explores how design for the uneven, yet cyclical ebbs and flows of renewable resources erodes architecture’s traditionally rigid temporal boundaries of planning, construction, and occupancy, and produces temporally dynamic regimes of figure and form. The collection, administration and reconfiguration of waste materials results in the creation of new, regenerative forms of collective living that challenge the boom-and-bust logic of investment in public infrastructures.…”
