4D printing of butterfly scale-inspired structures for wide-angle directional liquid transport by Liu, Xiaojiang, Li, Boyuan, Gu, Zhongze, Zhou, Kun

“…Inspired by the wide-angle (0° < α < 180°) liquid transport on butterfly wings, this work successfully achieves linear (α = 0°), wide-angle, and even ultra-wide-angle (α = 180°) liquid transport by four-dimensional (4D) printing of butterfly scale-inspired re-entrant structures. …”

Harnessing Instability Mechanisms in Airfoil Flow for Data-Driven Forecasting of Extreme Events by Barthel, Benedikt, Sapsis, Themistoklis P.

“…These extreme excursions may be seen as prototypical of the kind of unsteady and intermittent dynamics relevant to the flow around airfoils and wings in a variety of real-world applications. Here we investigate the instability mechanisms at the heart of these extreme events, and how they may be harnessed for efficient data-driven forecasting. …”

Apocryphal Joyce: fuga per canonem by Holtkamp, G

“…This phrase, from his notes for Ulysses, is especially apt for Joyce given his early connection of the writer as craftsman and apostate with Daedalus, the mythic figure whose wings symbolized for Joyce the liberated intellect of the artist.…”

Developing a lightscape application (using a raspberry PI) by Ong, Wenchuan

“…The project aims to develop a web application, which will be hosted within the Raspberry Pi, for controlling the brightness of constant light source from the high power LED via the Raspberry Pi’s General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) pins and gather optimal settings for projecting images with the Light Blaster. …”

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. …”

Influence of the exchange symmetry beyond the exclusion principle by Tennie, F

“…In particular, we <em>analytically</em> study the (quasi-)pinning effect which corresponds to a saturation of the GPCs and imposes structural simplifications on the <em>N</em>-fermion state. …”

Somatosensory and clinical profiles of patients with spine-related and clinical framework-based neck–arm pain by Kapitza, C, Ballenberger, N, Luedtke, K, Schmid, AB, Tampin, B

“…Symptom descriptors, such as burning (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.031), tingling (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.018), pins and needles (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.031), numbness (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.016), spontaneous pain (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.001), and electric pain/shock (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.026) were more common in the radicular/radiculopathy groups compared with the somatic/mechanosensitivity groups. …”

Archaia Phusis: the original nature of the soul in Plato’s Middle Dialogues by Körner, H

“…<em>Phronēsis</em> is the true way of having virtue of character because it purifies the soul from bodily beliefs, desires, and fears (<em>Phaedo</em>, <em>Republic</em>), a process which the <em>Phaedrus</em> depicts as a regrowing of the soul’s wings.</p> <p>Tracing the theme of the soul’s <em>archaia phusis</em> in these dialogues touches on central questions in the study of Plato: do the soul’s lower parts survive in our fully purified condition? …”

Mechanics of fracture and flexure in Antarctic ice sheets and ice shelves by Zhang, H

“…In grounding zones and floating ice shelves, ice fracturing is often associated with flexure modulated by ocean tides and subglacial water flow, as well as stresses created by shearing, such as pinning points. Fracture and flexure significantly affect the vulnerability of Antarctic ice shelves to hydrofracturing and, by altering buttressing effects, the mass balance of the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet. …”
