Recent advances in the formation, stability, and emerging food application of water-in-oil-in-water double emulsion carriers by Elaine, Elaine, Bhandari, Bhesh, Tan, Chin Ping, Nyam, Kar Lin

“…Besides encapsulation, double emulsion has also been used to modify the sensorial properties of food products. However, at the same time, double emulsion is susceptible to destabilization under environmental stresses and long-term storage. …”

Examining the moderating role of financial literacy between determinants of individual behaviour and investment decision-making for Iraqi investors by Abdulridha, Fatehiya, Hussin, Nazimah

“…The study of behavioural aspects in financial markets is somewhat of an emerging concept and the determinants are not considerably addressed. In the same context, it's argued that financial literacy has a substantial part in predicting investments. …”

Explaining the spread in measurement of PDMS elastic properties: influence of test method and curing protocol by Varner, Hannah, Cohen, Tal

“…Conventional methods of mechanical testing, such as uniaxial tension, compression, and nanoindentation, provide highly repeatable and reliable results for stiff materials, for which they were originally developed. However, when applied to the characterization of soft and biological materials, the same cannot be said, and the spread of reported properties of similar materials is vast. …”

Marsh restoration in front of seawalls is an economically justified nature-based solution for coastal protection by Lee, Ernie IH, Nepf, Heidi

“…Further, we performed a benefit-cost analysis, in which the economic benefits represent the environmental services value and avoided seawall heightening cost that would otherwise be required to deliver the same overtopping rate without vegetation. We applied the model to a real-world, marsh-fronted seawall design at Juniper Cove, Massachusetts. …”

Vehicle re-identification using machine learning by Tang, Lisha

“…Vehicle Re-ID aims to retrieve images of the same vehicle across non-overlapping cameras. The key challenges lie in the subtle inter-class discrepancy caused by near-duplicated identities and the significant intra-class distance due to diverse factors, including illumination, viewpoints, and background interference. …”

On paradoxical phenomena during evaporation and condensation between two parallel plates by Chen, Gang

“…We also prove that the temperature jump at each interface is in the same direction as externally applied temperature difference, i.e., liquid surface is at a higher temperature than its adjacent vapor on the evaporating interface and at a lower temperature than its adjacent vapor on the condensing interface. …”

On the shear failure of incipient rock discontinuities under CNL and CNS boundary conditions : insights from DEM modelling by Shang, Junlong, Zhao, Zhiye, Ma, S.

“…Peak shear stress increased significantly (up to three times) in the CNS direct shear in comparison with that measured in the CNL direct shear under the same initially applied normal stresses. The significant increase of shear stress in the CNS direct shear tests conducted in this study was related to the opening of newly created micro-cracks and creation of the rupture zones within the rock bridges, leading to a dramatic increase in the normal stresses. …”
