Mobilising stone: investigating relations of materiality, movement and corporality in Holocene Saharan rock-art by Waldock, V

“…These were expressed via animal emotions portrayed in the rock-art, and also through performative, gestural markings associated with the imagery. Such expressions include apotropaic, supplicatory or other interactions involving communication with unseen powers. …”

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. …”

T.F. Torrance's natural theology understood in its intellectual context: the synthesis of rational structure and material content by Irving, AJD

“…</p> <p>The bridge between the synthesis of (i) rational structure and material content, and (ii) natural theology is the analogous relation Torrance set between the relation of natural theology and revealed theology and the relation of practical geometry and physics, which is constituted by the same formal relation of rational structure and material content. …”

Initiator-free photohydrogelation of linear coumarin-containing poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylates and study of ultrasound-triggered gel breakdown by Eng, YJ, Xu, J, Sugiarto, S, Jonnalagadda, US, Ang, W, Lee, JH-C, Kwan, JJ, Nguyen, TM

“…Using this methodology, coumarin-containing PEG methacrylates of various molecular weights afford a range of hydrogels G1-G8 with good yields after purification and drying. Interestingly, the same chemistry can be applied to react a dicoumarin containing PEG with a PEG dimethacrylate at various weight ratios (G9-G11). …”

Signal processing on simplicial complexes with vertex signals by Ji, Feng, Kahn, Giacomo, Tay, Wee Peng

“…We show that the generalized Laplacian satisfies several desirable properties, same as the graph Laplacian. We propose a method to learn 2-complex structures and demonstrate how to perform signal processing by applying the generalized Laplacian on both synthetic and real data. …”
