Redefining Ancient Epirus

“…<br> The contributions gathered here, written by some of the most influential international scholars currently involved in archaeological research in Epirus, aim to offer a balanced synthesis of the different cultural and historical phenomena at play in the region. Chapters span the Archaic period to Roman Imperial times, and starting from the material record, touch upon a wide range of subjects: landscape studies, urbanization, fortifications and defence, ritual, sanctuaries, burial practices, relationships between mother cities and colonies, and borders and borderlands. …”

Large magnetoelectric coupling in multiferroic oxide heterostructures assembled via epitaxial lift-off by Pesquera, D., Khestanova, E., Ghidini, M., Zhang, S., Rooney, A. P., Maccherozzi, F., Riego, P., Farokhipoor, S., Kim, J., Moya, X., Vickers, M. E., Stelmashenko, N. A., Haigh, S. J., Dhesi, S. S., Mathur, N. D.

“…High-resolution magnetic vector maps reveal that micromagnetic behaviour is governed by electrically controlled strain and cracks in the film. Our demonstration should inspire others to control the physical/chemical properties in strain-released epitaxial oxide films by using electroactive substrates to impart strain via non-epitaxial interfaces.…”

Stress analysis and stress intensity factor computation of DNV X65 pipes subjected to four point bending by Lee, Shaun Raphael Kwok Yuen

“…The primary objective of fracture mechanics is to characterize local deformation around a crack tip of a material. In this current work, finite-element based on a parametric study of four-point bending is used to assess the stress intensities of deep surface cracks, while considering local limit load the remaining load bearing ligament. …”
