Nonlinear effects in steady radiating waves: An exponential asymptotics approach by Kataoka, Takeshi, Akylas, T.R.

“…For this class of forcing profiles, the wave response hinges on beyond-all-orders asymptotics only if α > −1, and nonlinear effects differ fundamentally depending on whether α > 0, α = 0 or −1 < α < 0. …”

Translations: Designing Restorative Listening Experiences in the Age of Social Fragmentation by Obeng-Marnu, Naana

“…This thesis builds on a body of sociotechnical research at the MIT Center for Constructive Communication that draws upon "ancient wisdoms" of dialogue and listening and harnesses the power of technology to inform the design of dialogue spaces that promote deep, meaningful, and authentic conversations. Our approach hinges on the belief that society functions best when we hear and understand each other, an outcome that our work strives to advance by exposing people to the personal stories of others in ways that connect rather than divide. …”

On the total synthesis of complex alkaloids by Shennan, BDA

“…Multiple competing strategies are investigated before successfully developing an efficient route to the racemic pentacycle of daphlongeranine B. This strategy hinges upon a Michael addition followed by a Claisen rearrangement and ring-closing metathesis to establish three rings.…”

Structural behaviour of 2D post-tensioned precast beam-column sub-assemblages subjected to column loss scenario by Tran, Manh Ha, Tan, Kang Hai

“…The test results indicated that both unbonded and bonded parabolic-shaped PT significantly enhanced compressive arch action (CAA) and catenary action (CA) beyond basic flexural capacity, and also changed the plastic hinge mechanism in the precast beams. The specimen with unbonded PT could provide greater residual capacity than bonded PT, but the former was severely damaged by fracture of normal reinforcement and crushing of concrete rather than fracture of the tendon. …”
