Dynamic response of airport concrete pavement to impact loading by Cai, Jing, Wong, Louis Ngai Yuen, Yan, Hua Wei

“…If the pavement slab size is decreased, the deflection at the center of the slab will decrease. A nonlinear relationship can be established between h and the maximum deflection, while linear relationships exist between C0 and the maximum deflection, as well as Ks and the maximum deflection.…”

Bond order resolved 3d 5/2 and valence band chemical shifts of Ag surfaces and nanoclusters by Sun, Changqing, Qin, Wei, Wang, Yan, Huang, Yongli, Zhou, Zhaofeng, Yang, Chao

“…Theoretical reproduction of the measured spectroscopic data derived that the 3d5/2 energy of an isolated Ag atom shifts from 363.02 to 367.65 eV and the valence band center from 0.36 to 8.32 eV upon bulk formation. The extended Wagner plots revealed the coefficients of valence recharging and potential screening to be 1.21 and 1.56 for Ag interacting with Al2O3 substrate and 1.15 and 1.50 for Ag with CeO2, respectively. …”

Optimization of superconducting properties of the stoichiometric CaKFe4As4 by Singh, S, Cassidy, S, Bristow, M, Blundell, S, Clarke, S, Coldea, A

“…The samples were prepared over a wide temperature range (900-1100°C) and the pure phase formation is centered around 955°C. Outside this temperature region, impurity phases of KFe2As2 and CaFe2As2 can also form. …”

Enhanced simulation of atmospheric blocking in a high-resolution earth system model: projected changes and implications for extreme weather events by Gao, Y, Guo, X, Lu, J, Woollings, T, Chen, D, Guo, X, Wu, L

“…In contrast, summer blocking is expected to become more frequent and persistent, driven by weakened zonal winds. The blocking center shifts from historical locations over Scandinavia and eastern Russia to central Eurasia, significantly increasing blocking over the Ural region. …”

Search for lepton number violating decays of D s + → h − h 0 e + e + by Ablikim, M, Achasov, MN, Adlarson, P, Afedulidis, O, Ai, XC, Aliberti, R, Amoroso, A, An, Q, Bai, Y, Bakina, O, Balossino, I, Ban, Y, Bao, H, Batozskaya, V, Begzsuren, K, Berger, N, Berlowski, M, Bertani, M, Bettoni, D, Bianchi, F, Bianco, E, Bortone, A, Boyko, I, Briere, RA, Gilman, A, MacKay, I, Malde, S, Tat, M, Wilkinson, G

“…Based on 7.33 fb−1 of e+e− collision data collected by the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII collider at center-of-mass energies from 4.128 to 4.226 GeV, a search for the Majorana neutrino νm is conducted in the lepton-number-violating decays of Ds+ → h−h0e+e+. …”

Spherical mask: coarse-to-fine 3D point cloud instance segmentation with spherical representation by Shin, S, Zhou, K, Vankadari, M, Markham, A, Trigoni, N

“…Specifically, our coarse detection estimates each in-stance with a 3D polygon using a center and radial distance predictions, which avoids excessive size estimation of AABB. …”

Linking microstructure and local mechanical properties in SiC-SiC fiber composite using micromechanical testing by Zayachuk, Y, Karamched, P, Deck, C, Hosemann, P, Armstrong, DEJ

“…Nanoindentation hardness was found to vary from ~17 GPa in the center of the fibers to ~40 GPa in the matrix. Values obtained with micromechanical testing were found to be in good agreement with the available data on bulk mechanical properties. …”

The political psychology of personality and attitudes towards immigrants by Buettner, N

“…First, I review the existing peer-reviewed academic literature that has so far attempted to link variation in natives’ Big Five personality traits to their immigration attitudes, and embed it into a more comprehensive discussion of the academic literatures on the causes and correlates of immigration attitudes. …”

Ten pressure points in primary care during COVID-19: findings from an international narrative review by Dykgraaf, SH, Parkinson, A, Wright, M, Wong, WCW, Desborough, J, Ball, L, Sturgiss, E, Dut, GM, Barnes, K, Butler, D, Davis, S, Douglas, K, Kendir, C, Martin, D, Marten, R, Rouleau, K, Barkley, S, de Toca, L, Kidd, M
