Rebuilding the forbidden city - the search for contemporary chinese international relations theory. by Lim, Yihong.

“…This paper contests the notion that there exists no Chinese International Relations theory within China; instead proposing that there is a school of Chinese International Relations theory based on the concepts of "peaceful rise" and "harmonious world". There is a conscious effort by Chinese scholars and leaders to create an International Relations theory that is of Chinese characteristics; one that seeks to redefine the international world order based on the Chinese experience and traditional Chinese (political) tradition/culture.…”

Why East Asian war is unlikely by Bitzinger, Richard A., Desker, Barry

“…If anything, China appears content to press its claims peacefully, if forcefully, through existing avenues and institutions of international relations, and in particular by co-opting these avenues and institutions to meet its own purposes. …”

Direct observation of deterministic domain wall trajectory in magnetic network structures by Sethi, Pankaj, Murapaka, Chandrasekhar, Goolaup, Sarjoosing, Chen, Yun Jie, Leong, Siang Huei, Lew, Wen Siang

“…The DW propagation in the network structure is governed by the geometrically induced potential barrier and pinning strength against the propagation. This technique can be extended for controlling the trajectory of magnetic charge carriers in an artificial spin ice lattice.…”

Which IR theory, liberalism, realism or constructivism, best explains the interaction between ASEAN and the two superpowers, the US and China? by Pua, Zopa Wei Yuan

“…Meanwhile, liberalists argued that economic ties, international organisations like the ASEAN, and diplomatic efforts are essential for maintaining stability and fostering peaceful coexistence. Lastly, constructivists would focus on the roles of ideas and identities of the stakeholders involved and how they influence their interactions in the region. …”

Producing microscale Ge textures via titanium nitride- and nickel-assisted chemical etching with CMOS-compatibiliyty by Liao, Yikai, Shin, Sang-Ho, Jin, Yuhao, Wang, Qi Jie, Kim, Munho

“…Schottky contact barrier of metal catalyst with Ge is also investigated indicating similar hole injection efficiency among TiN, Ni, and Ti/Ni with Ge junction due to strong Fermi level pinning effect. The TiN- and Ni-assisted chemical etching of Ge shed light on CMOS-compatible Ge-based photonic and optoelectronic applications.…”

Additive friction stir processing by Lin, Longyi

“…The continuous dynamic recrystalisation during FSP also gave finer grains, which was further enhanced with the addition of CNTs through Zener pinning effect. The improvement in tensile strengths due to finer grains through the Hall-Petch mechanism was insufficient to compensate for the drop in Orowan strengthening. …”
