Flexible optical fiber probe for surface roughness evaluation of internal channels in additively manufactured components by Subbarao, Guru Prasad Arudi, Haridas, Aswin, Patinharekandy, Prabhathan, Kapur, Pulkit, Chan, Kelvin, Matham, Murukeshan Vadakke

“…However, being a stochastic process, there is minimal control over the surface quality and thus require adequate quality checks before implementation. In this context, this paper investigates a flexible optical fiber probe and speckle correlation measurements to quantitatively estimate the average surface roughness, Ra, of areas within internal channels. …”

Isolation and reactivity of a chlorogermyliumylidene featuring two Ge – Cl units by Su, Yuanting, Li, Yongxin, Ganguly, Rakesh, Kinjo, Rei

“…Deprotonation of 1‐mesityl‐4,5‐diphenyl‐2‐imidazole 1 with nBuLi, followed by salt metathesis reaction with GeCl2·dioxane complex, led to the formation of the chlorogermyliumylidene 2 bearing two Ge–Cl units, which has been isolated and fully characterized by standard spectroscopic and X‐ray diffraction analysis. …”

Open questions in ancient Greek phonology: some new evidence from enclitics by Probert, P

“…Roussou and Probert (2023: 235–297) put forward some new discoveries bearing on the accentuation of sequences of consecutive ancient Greek enclitics, and a new descriptive claim as to the way in which host words plus sequences of consecutive enclitics were accented. …”

Tournament induced incentives and analysts' boldness. by Yin, Huifang.

“…This finding survives several robustness checks and is more pronounced when the interim assessment date is closer to the end of the tournament period, when analysts are inexperienced/non-all-star, and when the market activity is high. …”

Detection of simultaneous structural problems using multiple structural health monitoring techniques by Yang, Lu

“…After the construction, cracks, wear and tear, fatigue, creep, etc., will appear anytime during their life span, which significantly affects the capacity of the structure to bear loads. Hence structure health monitoring (SHM) technique came into existence to detect the structural problems and increase its life span. …”

A flat carborane with multiple aromaticity beyond Wade–Mingos’ rules by Lu, Wei, Do, Dinh Cao Huan, Kinjo, Rei

“…Herein, we report the synthesis of a C2B4R4 carborane 2 featuring a flat ribbon-like structure. The C2B4 core of 2 bearing 16 skeletal electrons in the singlet-ground state defies both the [4n + 2] Hückel’s rule and Baird’s rule. …”

Tribochemical Characterization and Tribocorrosive Behavior of CoCrMo Alloys: A Review by Toh, Wei Quan, Tan, Xipeng, Bhowmik, Ayan, Liu, Erjia, Tor, Shu Beng

“…However, poor design and machinability as well as unsatisfactory surface finish subjected the all-metal joint replacement to being superseded by a polyethylene bearing. Continued improvement in manufacturing techniques together with the reality that polyethylene wear debris can cause hazardous reactions in the human body has brought about the revival of metal-on-metal (MOM) hip joints in recent years. …”

Influence of non-linear wave load models on monopile supported offshore wind turbines for extreme conditions by Ryan, GV, Tang, T, McAdam, RA, Adcock, TAA

“…These models are compared to the widely used constrained wave approach, showing that significant differences are predicted for steel and geotechnical design checks. This suggests that the industry standard approach may be inappropriate for the design of monopile structures against extreme wave loads.…”

Symbolic verification and strategy synthesis for turn-based stochastic games by Kwiatkowska, M, Norman, G, Parker, D, Santos, G
