Computational and experimental study of a platinum thin-film based oil condition and contamination sensor by Sridhar, V, Chana, KS, Singh, D

“…Oil contamination occurs when metallic or non-metallic particles are produced due to wear of the machine components such as bearings, gears etc. and these particles may not be always captured by the filtering system that are already in the lubrication system. …”

Fabrication and characterisation of kenaf fibre reinforced polyamide biocomposites for railway sleeper applications by ahmad, mukaddas, Abdul Aziz, Farah Nora Aznieta, Abdan, Khalina, Shafi, Ayu Rafiqah

“…The result further demonstrated that the load-bearing capacity peaked at TKF 40 wt.%, surpassing conventional wooden and concrete sleepers. …”

Photo-modulable molecular transport junctions based on organometallic molecular wires by Meng, Fanben, Hervault, Yves-Marie, Norel, Lucie, Costuas, Karine, Dyck, Colin Van, Geskin, Victor, Cornil, Jérôme, Hng, Huey Hoon, Rigaut, Stéphane, Chen, Xiaodong

“…Photo-modulable molecular transport junctions are developed via on-wire lithography-fabricated nanogaps functionalized with a dithienylethene unit bearing two ruthenium fragments. A reversible and repeatable bi-state conductive switching upon alternate irradiation of UV and visible light can be distinctly observed. …”

Particle dean migration in short arcuated microchannels by Ishaq Idrus Khan Surattee

“…Interestingly, comparison between half loop channel and one loop channel at the same downstream distance showed that bead migration distance was greater in the one loop channel, which suggests that the backpropagation of pressure gradient from downstream flow towards upstream Dean vortices may alter their strength and resultant particle lateral migration. …”

Starvation, ferroptosis, and prodrug therapy synergistically enabled by a cytochrome c oxidase like nanozyme by Cao, Changyu, Yang, Nan, Su, Yan, Zhang, Zheye, Wang, Chenxi, Song, Xuejiao, Chen, Peng, Wang, Wenjun, Dong, Xiaochen

“…Loaded with bioreductive predrug (AQ4N), this Cu-Ag nanozyme unprecedentedly enables simultaneous starvation, ferroptosis, and chemical therapy with high specificity, and is able to totally eliminate tumor and greatly prolong the survival rate for 4T1-tumor-bearing mice. The underlying working mechanism is revealed both experimentally and theoretically.…”

Experimental investigation into load settlement characteristics of piled rafts in sand by Leong, Hazel Xueling.

“…Studies by many notable researchers in the years to come suggest that the most effective combinations of piles and raft happens when all the initial loading can be borne with the raft’s bearing capacity alone. The role of the piles was solely to reduce the excessive settlement experienced by the plain raft.…”

Dense/porous bioceramic composites by Hu, Yifei

“…The pores were designed for bone ingrowth, whereas the graded pores and the dense cores were introduced for load bearing capability. For bone ingrowth, the porous structures must have a high porosity, a high interconnectivity, and a suitable pore size.…”

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

“…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. …”

Enhancing the mechanical strength of Multi Jet Fusion–printed polyamide 12 and its glass fiber-reinforced composite via high-temperature annealing by Liu, Xiaojiang, Tey, Wei Shian, Choo, Jasper Yeng Chee, Chen, Jiayao, Tan, Pengfei, Cai, Chao, Ong, Adrian, Zhao, Lihua, Zhou, Kun

“…The mechanical performance of GF/PA12 specimens is better than that of previously reported MJF- and Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)-printed PA12, glass bead/PA12, and GF/PA12 composites. Moreover, the melting temperatures of both PA12 and GF/PA12 specimens are increased by more than 5 °C after the annealing process. …”

Another philosophical look at twistor theory by Gajic, G, Lilani, N, Read, J

“…In this article, we (a) present for philosophers an introduction to twistor theory, (b) consider how the spacetime–twistor correspondence interacts with the philosophical literature on theoretical equivalence, and (c) explore the bearing which twistor theory might have on philosophical issues such as the status of dynamics, the geometrisation of physics, spacetime ontology, the emergence of spacetime, and symmetry-to-reality inferences. …”

Fragmentation of white phosphorus by a cyclic (alkyl)(amino)alumanyl anion by Koshino, Kota, Kinjo, Rei

“…Structural and electronic features of the latter were fully characterized by standard spectroscopic means, X-ray diffraction analysis, and computational studies, which revealed that 2 bears highly polarized Al (δ+) and P (δ-) and relatively short Al-P bonds, indicative of the σ-donating and π-accepting nature of CAAAl groups.…”

Fostering public service motivation through workplace trust : evidence from public managers in Taiwan by Chen, Chung-An, Hsieh, Chih-Wei, Chen, Don-Yun

“…The authors offer a new angle to the germane studies, arguing that workplace trust as a result of human interaction and personal choice has a bearing on PSM. It is postulated that, when public managers perceive the trustworthiness of citizens, colleagues, and agency leaders, their PSM increases. …”
