Mechanics of Three-Dimensional Micro-Architected Interpenetrating Phase Composites by Chen, Andrew Y.

“…We show that independent of the material system, the presence of a load-bearing matrix distributes the stress in the composite, contributing to a high-strength, globally stretchingdominated failure behavior, regardless of nodal connectivity. …”

What is to reproduce? On the overlap, development, and persistence account of reproduction by Palacios-González, C

“…Her account seems able to answer the question of whether reproduction takes place, and who reproduces, when we employ biotechnologies that bear little to no resemblance to naturally occurring human sexual reproduction. …”

Prosopanche: a remarkable genus of parasitic plants by Hatt, SA, Cameron, DD, Grace, OM, Rocamundi, N, Cocucci, AA, Martel, C, Thorogood, CJ

“…Growing almost entirely underground with a complete lack of leaves, plants of Prosopanche bear more resemblance to fungi than plants and have many remarkable aspects to their life history and ecology that require further investigation. …”

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

“…Many researchers have been trying to control the density of the CNTs growth by using sophisticated and expensive techniques such as electron beam lithography and ion beam bombardment. Density control of CNTs has been demonstrated by a cheap novel combination of steps consisting of annealing, etching and ultraviolet overexposure. …”

Fostering public service motivation through workplace trust : evidence from public managers in Taiwan by Chen, Chung-An, Hsieh, Chih-Wei, Chen, Don-Yun

“…The authors offer a new angle to the germane studies, arguing that workplace trust as a result of human interaction and personal choice has a bearing on PSM. It is postulated that, when public managers perceive the trustworthiness of citizens, colleagues, and agency leaders, their PSM increases. …”
