Experimental investigation into load settlement characteristics of piled rafts in sand by Leong, Hazel Xueling.

“…Studies by many notable researchers in the years to come suggest that the most effective combinations of piles and raft happens when all the initial loading can be borne with the raft’s bearing capacity alone. The role of the piles was solely to reduce the excessive settlement experienced by the plain raft.…”

Dense/porous bioceramic composites by Hu, Yifei

“…The pores were designed for bone ingrowth, whereas the graded pores and the dense cores were introduced for load bearing capability. For bone ingrowth, the porous structures must have a high porosity, a high interconnectivity, and a suitable pore size.…”

Another philosophical look at twistor theory by Gajic, G, Lilani, N, Read, J

“…In this article, we (a) present for philosophers an introduction to twistor theory, (b) consider how the spacetime–twistor correspondence interacts with the philosophical literature on theoretical equivalence, and (c) explore the bearing which twistor theory might have on philosophical issues such as the status of dynamics, the geometrisation of physics, spacetime ontology, the emergence of spacetime, and symmetry-to-reality inferences. …”

Carbon based materials for MEMS applications by Tan, Chong Wei
