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. …”

Introduction - issue 78

“…Since the election of Barack Obama to the presidency of the United States, energy and climate change policies have moved from the back to the front stage of federal government political actions. …”

Strategies to modulate Amorphous Oxide Semiconductor properties for low temperature transparent transistors by Kulkarni, Mohit Rameshchandra

“…Such surface modifications can achieve a change in the carrier concentration by change in work function or shifting- pinning of the Fermi level, or additional field generated due to dipoles created at the surface. …”

Fabrication and characterization of graphene and carbon nanotube reinforced bioceramic nanocomposites by Hu, Huanlong

“…The reinforcing mechanism was due to the lubrication and pinning effects of rGO, which resulted in high resistance to penetration, elastic recovery capability, low-cycle fatigue resistance, and microcrack propagation inhibition properties. …”

The elusiveness of 'interdependent obligations' and the invocation of responsibility for their breach by Urs, P

“…Since the adoption in 2001 of the International Law Commission’s ‘Articles on the Responsibility of States for Internationally Wrongful Acts’, attention has been increasingly drawn to the enforcement by states individually of multilateral obligations. …”

To bail-out or to bail-in? Answers from an agent-based model by Klimek, P, Poledna, S, Farmer, JD, Thurner, S

“…Since the beginning of the 2008 financial crisis almost half a trillion euros have been spent to financially assist EU member states in taxpayer-funded bail-outs. …”

Anatomically plausible segmentations: explicitly preserving topology through prior deformations by Wyburd, MK, Dinsdale, NK, Jenkinson, M, Namburete, AIL

“…Since the rise of deep learning, new medical segmentation methods have rapidly been proposed with extremely promising results, often reporting marginal improvements on the previous state-of-the-art (SOTA) method. …”
