Spin dynamics of two-dimensional systems in strong-coupling regime by Anastasiia Pervishko

“…A possibility to use the spin properties of the particles opens an alternative path for the creation of new devices for information storage and transfer, which in comparison to the currently existing charge-based devices have several manufacturing benefits such as a compact size of the systems and ability of easy-going state control. Additionally apart from strongly applied motives, the study of particle spin dynamics has a significant fundamental potential for the understanding of the nature of spin-induced effects. …”

Productivity improvement for smart manufacturing systems by Sundararaman Manoj

“…In an assembly line, queue ratio concept is introduced, that states, the parts from the upstream station is sent to two or more downstream stations for processing based on smallest queue ratio between two downstream stations. Apart from this fundamental study, a case study of a semiconductor fab is investigated, and the performance of queue ratio is analyzed with current fab system performances. …”

Highlights from Faraday Discussion 172: Carbon in electrochemistry, Sheffield, UK, July 2014 by Dyatkin, B, Ash, PA, Sharma, S

“…This has been the trend since the first Faraday Discussions held in London in 1907 in London which debated "osmotic pressure", and this format clearly sets it apart from any other conference to date. All discussions form part of the peer review process and are sequentially recorded and published with the accepted manuscripts.…”

Using brain functional connectivity pattern to examine the effectiveness of a reading intervention for children with dyslexia. by Naidu, Shanthini Chandra Sekaran, Al-Naimi, Taha Mahmoud, Samah, Narina A., Sha'Ameri, Ahmad Zuri

“…Results from the RAN tasks showed the brain connectivity pattern of children with dyslexia normalized after the reading intervention apart from improving their reading fluency. Our results highlight the need for teachers to be informed on the capacity of the brain to make new connections if provided with effective and evidence-based intervention.…”
