Live Verification in an Interactive Proof Assistant by Gruetter, Samuel, Fukala, Viktor, Chlipala, Adam

“…Program verification requires loop invariants, which are hard to find and tedious to spell out. We explore a middle ground in the design space between the two extremes of requiring users to spell out loop invariants manually and attempting to infer loop invariants automatically: Based on the observation that a loop invariant often looks quite similar to the symbolic state right before the loop, our tool asks users to express the desired loop invariant as a diff from the symbolic state before the loop, which has the potential to lead to less verbose and more maintainable proofs. …”

Near-zero environmental impact aircraft by Prashanth, Prakash, Elmourad, Jad, Grobler, Carla, Isaacs, Stewart, Zahid, Syed Shayan, Abel, James, Falter, Christoph, Fritz, Thibaud, Allroggen, Florian, Sabnis, Jayant S., Eastham, Sebastian D., Speth, Raymond L., Barrett, Steven R. H.

“…We contrast the environmental impacts of today's aircraft-energy system against one built around either “drop-in” fuels or hydrogen. We find that a “zero-impact” aircraft is possible using either hydrogen or power-to-liquid “drop-in” fuels. …”

Orbital stability in a classical pilot-wave system by Liu, Nicholas Z.

“…This thesis focuses on the features responsible for the quantisation of orbital radii, and rationalises this quantisation in terms of the stability of circular orbits arising in the presence of a rotating frame and a central force. We find that orbital quantisation is most pronounced when the waves generated by each bounce decay slowly. …”

Analysis of Poly(ethylene terephthalate) degradation kinetics of evolved IsPETase variants using a surface crowding model by Zhong-Johnson, En Ze Linda, Dong, Ziyue, Canova, Christopher T, Destro, Francesco, Cañellas, Marina, Hoffman, Mikaila C, Maréchal, Jeanne, Johnson, Timothy M, Zheng, Maya, Schlau-Cohen, Gabriela S, Lucas, Maria Fátima, Braatz, Richard D, Sprenger, Kayla G, Voigt, Christopher A, Sinskey, Anthony J

“…Hence, we develop a surface crowding model to analyze the biochemical effects of three hit mutations (T116P, S238N, S290P) that enhanced ambient temperature activity and/or thermostability. We find that T116P decreases susceptibility to crowding, resulting in higher PET degradation product accumulation despite no change in intrinsic catalytic rate. …”

Terahertz conductivity of topological surface states in Bi1.5Sb0.5Te1.8Se1.2 by Tang, Chi Sin, Xia, Bin, Zou, Xingquan, Chen, Shi, Ou, Hong-Wei, Wang, Lan, Rusydi, A., Zhu, Jian-Xin, Chia, Elbert E. M.

“…Using Terahertz Time-Domain Spectroscopy (THz-TDS), we present complex conductivity of BSTS single crystals, disentangling the surface and bulk contributions. We find that the Drude spectral weight is 1–2 orders of magnitude smaller than in other Bi-based topological insulators, and similar to that of Bi2Se3 thin films, suggesting a significant contribution of the topological surface states to the conductivity of the BSTS sample. …”

Theoretical prediction of the linear isomers for rare gas-carbon disulfide complexes : He-CS2, Ne-CS2, and Ar-CS2 by Zang, Limin, Dai, Wei, Zheng, Limin, Duan, Chuanxi, Lu, Yunpeng, Yang, Minghui

“…Three two-dimensional intermolecular PESs are constructed from ab initio data points which are calculated at the CCSD(T) level with aug-cc-pVTZ basis set supplemented with bond functions. We find that the three PESs have very similar features and each PES can be characterized by a global T-shaped minimum, two equivalent local linear minima, and the saddle points between them. …”

Strain engineering of antimonene by a first-principles study : mechanical and electronic properties by Kripalani, Devesh Raju, Kistanov, Andrey A., Cai, Yongqing, Xue, Ming, Zhou, Kun

“…Interestingly, the application of uniaxial strain in the zigzag and armchair directions unveil direction-dependent trends in the electronic band structure. We find that the nature of the band gap remains insensitive to strain in the zigzag direction, while strain in the armchair direction activates an indirect-direct band gap transition at a critical strain of 4%, owing to a band switching mechanism. …”
