Numerical modeling of the influence of scour and scour protection on monopile dynamic behavior by Mayall, RO, Burd, HJ, McAdam, RA, Byrne, BW, Whitehouse, RJS, Heald, SG, Slater, PL

“…Scour of seabed sediments can occur around offshore foundations. For monopile-supported offshore wind turbine structures, the reduction in foundation stiffness due to scour presents certain operational challenges. …”

Organic ferroelectric memory devices based on resistive switching by Damar Yoga Kusuma

“…This approach accelerates the switching kinetics as polarization reversal shifts from the nucleation-limited regime to the growth-limited regime. On the other hand, mutual combination of SAM’s fixed dipole and ferroelectric’s polarizable dipole is employed to realize ferroelectric field effect transistor devices with tailored operational parameters, reduced charge trapping and improved retention stability. …”

1-in-3 vs. not-all-equal: dichotomy of a broken promise by Ciardo, L, Kozik, M, Krokhin, A, Nakajima, T-V, Živný, S

“…In the present work, we investigate this constraint satisfaction problem in a regime where the promise is weakened from either side by a rainbow-free structure, and establish a complexity dichotomy for the resulting class of computational problems.…”

Droplet impingement on a heated surface by Chia, Patrick Chee Leong

“…Furthermore, the hydrophilic properties had a heavy influence on the receeding regime and the boiling regime of the impinging droplet. …”

The physics of ultrafast saturable absorption in graphene by Xing, Guichuan, Guo, Hencheng, Zhang, Xinhai, Sum, Tze Chien, Huan, Alfred Cheng Hon

“…The ultrafast saturable absorption in graphene is experimentally and theoretically investigated in the femtosecond (fs) time regime. This phenomenon is well-modeled with valence band depletion, conduction band filling and ultrafast intraband carrier thermalization. …”

Hawking radiation of extended objects by Johnson, G, March-Russell, J

“…We find that in the low-momentum regime, the power emitted is exponentially suppressed for sufficiently large radiated objects, or sufficiently small black holes, though the temperature of emission is unchanged. …”

Fluid-fluid displacement in porous-media microfluidics by Qiu, Yu

“…We first develop a phase-field model to simulate two-phase flow with moving contact lines in the partial wetting regime. We construct a self-consistent formulation of fluid-solid surface energy which allows prescribing arbitrary static contact angles. …”

Protracted carbon burial following the Early Jurassic Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event (Posidonia Shale, Lower Saxony Basin, Germany) by Celestino, RFS, Ruhl, M, Dickson, AJ, Idiz, E, Jenkyns, HC, Leng, MJ, Mattioli, E, Minisini, D, Hesselbo, SP

“…The bio- and chemostratigraphic framework presented demonstrates that (i) the rock record of the T-OAE at the studied locality registered highly condensed sedimentation and/or multiple hiatuses and (ii) the deposition of organic-rich black shale extended significantly beyond the level of the T-OAE, thereby contrasting with well-studied sections of the Posidonia Shale in southern Germany but showing similarities with geographically nearby basins such as the Paris Basin (France). …”

Tapered angle microfluidic device for cell separation using hydrodynamic principle by Jamrus, Muhammad Asyraf, Ahmad, Mohd. Ridzuan

“…This design enables particle separation based on hydrodynamic theory and the sedimentation process. A mixture of 3 μm and 10 μm polystyrene (PS) microbeads were effectively separated when the taper angle approached 20 degrees, and separation continued until the taper angle reached 89 degrees. …”

Relativistic superfluidity and vorticity from the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation by Xiong, Chi, Good, Michael R. R., Guo, Yulong, Liu, Xiaopei, Huang, Kerson

“…We investigate superfluidity, and the mechanism for creation of quantized vortices, in the relativistic regime. The general framework is a nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation in curved spacetime for a complex scalar field, whose phase dynamics gives rise to superfluidity. …”

Anti-suit injunctions – beyond comity by Dickinson, A

Bacteria and archaea on Earth and their abundance in biofilms by Flemming, Hans-Curt, Wuertz, Stefan

“…Most bacteria and archaea on Earth (1.2 × 10³⁰ cells) exist in the 'big five' habitats: deep oceanic subsurface (4 × 10²⁹), upper oceanic sediment (5 × 10²⁸), deep continental subsurface (3 × 10²⁹), soil (3 × 10²⁹) and oceans (1 × 10²⁹). …”

Breast cancer patient-derived whole-tumor cell culture model for efficient drug profiling and treatment response prediction by Chen, Xinsong, Sifakis, Emmanouil G., Robertson, Stephanie, Neo, Shi Yong, Jun, Seong-Hwan, Tong, Le, Tay, Apple Hui Min, Lövrot, John, Hellgren, Roxanna, Margolin, Sara, Bergh, Jonas, Foukakis, Theodoros, Lagergren, Jens, Lundqvist, Andreas, Ma, Ran, Hartman, Johan

“…The accuracy was further supported by the correlation between WTC-based test results and patients' clinical responses in a separate validation study, where the neoadjuvant treatment regimens of 15 BC patients were mimicked. Collectively, the WTC model allows us to accomplish personalized drug testing within 10 d, even for small-sized tumors, highlighting its potential for individualized BC therapy. …”

Stratigraphy and taphonomy of tubular microfossils in Terreneuvian rocks of the Soltanieh Formation, Soltanieh Mountains, Northern Iran by Etemad-Saeed, N, Anderson, RP, Tosca, NJ, Bergmann, KD, Knoll, AH

“…X-ray diffraction and SEM-EDS reveal that Soltanieh tubes were largely infilled by variable mixes of pyrite framboids (and their oxidation products), silica, and clay minerals. In contrast, the sediment matrix is dominated by K-Al-silicate with lesser amounts of an Al-oxide/(oxy)hydroxide phase. …”
