Settlement behavior of shallow foundations in unsaturated soils under rainfall by Kim, Yongmin, Park, Hyundo, Jeong, Sangseom

“…The changes in the settlement during rainfall were also affected by the groundwater table position near the ground surface due to changes in matric suction. In addition, higher bearing capacity in response to rainfall infiltration was observed in the soil with smaller permeability function as compared to larger permeability function.…”

New 3D supramolecular Zn(ii)-coordinated self-assembled organic networks by Lim, Zheng Bang, Li, Hairong, Sun, Shuangyong, Lek, Jun Yan, Trewin, Abbie, Lam, Yeng Ming, Grimsdale, Andrew C.

“…New 3D supramolecular networks S1 and S2 were prepared by Zn(II) coordination of the tetraphenylmethane-based p-type and n-type molecules bearing four terpyridine ligands. XRD and BET results indicate they are relatively amorphous and non-porous with a high degree of interpenetration within the networks. …”

Ionic liquid lubricity enhancement with bio-oil derived from microwave pyrolysis of bamboo by Mohamed Ariffin, Nur Aisya Affrina, Chong, William Woei Fong, Foong, Shin Ying, Lam, Su Shiung, Ng, Jo-Han, Zhang, Hedong

“…The study highlights the complex tribological balance among viscosity, load-bearing capacity, and the chemical nature of bio-oil components, contributing to enhanced lubricity. …”

Electroweak three-body decays in the presence of two- and three-body bound states by Briceño, Raul A., Jackura, Andrew W., Pefkou, Dimitra A., Romero-López, Fernando

“…For kinematics below the three-body threshold, we demonstrate that the scattering amplitudes satisfy unitarity. We also check that for these kinematics the finite-volume matrix elements are accurately described by the formalism for two-body systems up to exponentially suppressed corrections. …”

Membrane compaction in forward osmosis process by Ng, Daniel Yee Fan, Chen, Yunfeng, Dong, Zhili, Wang, Rong

“…The TFC membranes were continuously tested in FO experiments for 24 h by using DI water as feed and NaCl solutions of different concentrations as draw solution, and their performances were checked again using fresh feed solutions. At the end of FO experiments, all TFC membranes experienced water flux and salt flux decline to different extents. …”

Recycling of thermoplastics composites by Lee, Ian Zi Feng

“…Carbon Fibers (CFs) are commonly used to reinforce polymer matrix composites (PMCs) due to their exceptional properties, including high specific tensile strength, lightweight design, and superior load-bearing capacity at elevated temperatures. This report focuses on Carbon Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic (CFRTP) because of its recyclability properties. …”

Compressibility behavior of marine clay treated by combination of coal ash and cement by Pakir, F, Ismail, N A, Yunos, N Z M, Jamaludin, N, Talib, M K A, Dan, M F M, Madun, A

“…A lot of engineering problems could arise either during or after the construction phase due to low shear strength and high compressibility of this soil in the form of excessive settlement, slope instability or bearing capacity failure. The real challenge with marine clay is stability and settlement when construction takes place. …”

Transverse momentum-dependent heavy-quark fragmentation at next-to-leading order by von Kuk, Rebecca, Michel, Johannes K. L., Sun, Zhiquan

“…Our final results in position space agree with those of a recent calculation by another group that used a highly orthogonal organization of singularities in the intermediate momentum-space steps, providing a strong independent cross check. As an immediate application, we present the complete quark mass dependence of the energy-energy correlator (EEC) in the back-to-back limit at (𝛼𝑠).…”
