Dynamics of time-modulated, nonlinear phononic lattices by Kim, Brian L., Chong, Christopher, Hajarolasvadi, Setare, Wang, Yifan, Daraio, Chiara

“…In the present work, the response of a one-dimensional phononic lattice with time-periodic elastic properties is studied with experimental, numerical and theoretical approaches in both linear and nonlinear regimes. The system consists of repelling magnetic masses with grounding stiffness controlled by electrical coils driven with electrical signals that vary periodically in time. …”

Dynamic properties of high-Tc superconducting nano-junctions made with a focused helium ion beam by Couëdo, François, Amari, Paul, Feuillet-Palma, Cheryl, Ulysse, Christian, Srivastava, Yogesh Kumar, Singh, Ranjan, Bergeal, Nicolas, Lesueur, Jérôme

“…At lower temperature and for the highest He irradiation dose, the shot noise contribution must also be taken into account when approaching the tunneling regime. We conclude that these Josephson nano-junctions present the lowest noise level possible, which makes them very promising for future applications in the microwave and terahertz regimes.…”

Plan Implementation Challenges in a Shrinking City: A Conformance Evaluation of Youngstown’s (OH) Comprehensive Plan With a Subsequent Zoning Code by Ryan, Brent D., Gao, Shuqi

“…Informants attribute the weak conformance between the comprehensive plan and the Youngstown Redevelopment Code to many of the former’s ideas not being legally defensible. Changing political regimes, shifts in public opinion, and the driving need for economic investment were also cited as contributors to this weak conformance. …”

Envisioning Water: Sustainability and Future-Making in Dubai and Los Angeles by Christidi, Nadia

“…Second, I consider how these interests, forces, and effects emerge from and get mediated through entrenched structures like bureaucratic systems, accumulation regimes, and sunken investments, which produce a stickiness to infrastructures and infrastructural visions that renders change challenging, slow, and incremental. …”

Mechanics of Three-Dimensional Micro-Architected Interpenetrating Phase Composites by Chen, Andrew Y.

“…Using these prototypes, we study the mechanical behavior of the fabricated composites under uniaxial compression, with particular emphasis on the non-linear and failure regimes. We show that independent of the material system, the presence of a load-bearing matrix distributes the stress in the composite, contributing to a high-strength, globally stretchingdominated failure behavior, regardless of nodal connectivity. …”

A Branched Convolutional Neural Network for Forecasting the Occurrence of Hazes in Paris Using Meteorological Maps with Different Characteristic Spatial Scales by Wang, Chien

“…The strategy is to make the machine learn from available historical data to recognize various regional weather and hydrological regimes associated with low-visibility events. To better preserve the characteristic spatial information of input features in training, two branched architectures have recently been developed. …”

On shear adhesion of adhesive fibrils by Linghu, Changhong, Du, Zihao, Sun, Yi, Chen, Weiqiu, Hsia, K. Jimmy

“…Based on this compliance solution, a rigorous scaling law for shear adhesion strength is derived, which can predict the energy-controlled adhesion regime as well as the theoretical strength-limited regime, as the aspect ratio decreases. …”

Sages, smokers, sojourners : the religion of the void in China and Southeast Asia by Soh, Esmond Chuah Meng

“…The Zhenkongjiao 真空教, alias the Great Way Within Emptiness 空中大道, refers to a Chinese religious movement whose emergence in twentieth-century southeast China and Southeast Asia was characterized by its rehabilitation of opium-addicts with meditation regimes and tea-drinking rituals. This thesis discusses the institutions, beliefs, and the rituals of the Zhenkongjiao in East and Southeast Asia throughout the twentieth- and twenty-first centuries. …”

Computation fluid dynamics on drag reduction II by Zang, Bin

“…Lastly, the grid size and RANS models are subjected to further verification to ensure the observations and calculations are indeed trustworthy and relatively accurate by studying skin friction coefficient and comparing to empirical formula; also by simulating more complex dimpled flow with different Reynolds number regimes. The result establishes agreements in friction coefficient while the simulation of complex flow doe s not. …”

Spatiotemporal signatures of elastoinertial turbulence in viscoelastic planar jets by Yamani, Sami, Raj, Yashasvi, Zaki, Tamer A., McKinley, Gareth H., Bischofberger, Irmgard

“…We show how fluid elasticity has a nonmonotonic effect on the jet stability depending on its magnitude, creating two distinct regimes in which elastic effects can either destabilize or stabilize the jet. …”

Beyond Color: Lattice Gauge Theory for Strongly-Coupled Physics by Oare, Patrick R.
