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. …”

The geometry and matching of lines and curves over multiple views by Schmid, C, Zisserman, A

“…<br> A set of algorithms are then described for automatically matching individual line segments and curves between images. The algorithms use both photometric information and the multiple view geometric relationships. …”

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.…”

Coherent superposition of current flows in an atomtronic quantum interference device by Aghamalyan, Davit, Cominotti, Marco, Rizzi, Matteo, Rossini, Davide, Hekking, Frank, Minguzzi, Anna, Kwek, Leong-Chuan, Amico, Luigi

“…The goal of the present study is to corroborate the emergence of an effective two-level system in such a setup and to assess its quality, in terms of its inner resolution and its separation from the rest of the many-body spectrum, across the different physical regimes. In order to achieve this aim, we examine the dependence of the qubit energy gap on the bosonic density, the interaction strength, and the barrier depth, and we show how the superposition between current states appears in the momentum distribution (time-of-flight) images. …”

Impact of cellular interference on uplink UAV communications by Tan, Ernest Zheng Hui, Madhukumar, A. S., Sirigina, Rajendra Prasad, Krishna, Anoop Kumar

“…We demonstrate that the operational altitude of the multi-UAV network determines the severity of cellular interference across low-to-high transmit power regimes. In particular, UAVs operating at higher altitudes are less affected by cellular interference, with higher finite SNR diversity gains and lower outage probability floors observed. …”
