Correlation between proton conductivity, thermal stability and structural symmetries in novel HPW-meso-silica nanocomposite membranes and their performance in direct methanol fuel... by Zeng, Jie, Shen, Pei Kong, Lu, Shanfu, Xiang, Yan, Li, Lin, De Marco, Roland, Jiang, San Ping

“…The intrinsic relationship between proton conductivity, thermal stability and structural symmetries of phosphotungstic acid (HPW)-functionalized mesoporous silica (HPW-meso-silica) membrane was investigated with mesoporous silica from 2D hexagonal p6mm, 3D face-centered cubic (View the MathML source), body-centered View the MathML source, to cubic bicontinuous View the MathML source symmetries. …”

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.…”

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. …”

Thermorefringent noise in crystalline optical materials by Kryhin, Serhii, Hall, Evan D., Sudhir, Vivishek

“…Thus, in order to appreciate the full promise of crystalline optical materials, a more precise understanding of their anisotropic material constants is necessary. Barring that, we elucidate measurement techniques that can affect partial coherent cancellation of thermorefringent noise. …”
