On paradoxical phenomena during evaporation and condensation between two parallel plates by Chen, Gang

“…Kinetic theory has long predicted that temperature inversion may happen in the vapor-phase for evaporation and condensation between two parallel plates, i.e., the vapor temperature at the condensation interface is higher than that at the evaporation interface. …”

Wave Mechanics in Constructed Oyster Reefs and the Design of Nature-Based Coastal Adaptation by Brice, James Vincent

“…There has been great interest in the potential of constructed oyster reefs (CORs) to function as nature-based coastal protection infrastructure, but most projects to-date are designed primarily for wave attenuation and fail to consider both the environmental conditions necessary for long-term oyster reef sustainability as well as the importance of education and outreach in fostering environmental stewardship. …”

Local geometry of NAE-SAT solutions in the condensation regime by Sly, Allan, Sohn, Youngtak

“…Understanding the local behavior after the condensation threshold is more complex due to long-range correlations. In this work, we revisit the random regular nae-sat model in the condensation regime and determine the local weak limit which describes a random solution around a typical variable. …”

A Mixed Continuous-Discrete Approach to Fast Charging of Li-ion Batteries While Maximizing Lifetime by Berliner, Marc D, Cogswell, Daniel A, Bazant, Martin Z, Braatz, Richard D

“…In this article, we derive physics-based operating modes based on degradative governing equations, which are used to ensure safe use and minimal degradation during long-term cycling. The fast-charging protocols are efficiently and deterministically simulated using a mixed continuous-discrete (aka hybrid) approach to fast charging. …”

Materials approaches for next-generation encapsulated cell therapies by Krishnan, Siddharth R., Langer, Robert, Anderson, Daniel G.

“…However, attack from the host immune system represents a major challenge, requiring chronic immunosuppression to enable long-lived cell transplantation in vivo. Encapsulating cells in engineered biomaterials capable of excluding components of the host immune system while allowing for the transport of therapeutic proteins, oxygen, nutrients, metabolites, and waste products represents a potential solution. …”

Figuring the Middle Ground: A Search for Authorship in Perceiving China's COVID-19 Lockdowns by Zhang, San

“…This project is an effort to give myself a voice in the process of figuring out the “middle ground”—a gradient of unsettled propositions stretching between cultural identities, negotiating with constructed collective memories, and discursively evolving over a three-year-long uncanny journey trying to perceive the COVID-19 lockdowns in China. …”

First-principles study of the lattice dynamics of Sb2S3 by Liu, Yun, Eddie Chua, Kun Ting, Sum, Tze Chien, Gan, Chee Kwan

“…The phonon softening can be attributed to the periodic images that affect the accuracy of the force constants, and the truncation of long-ranged forces. The commensuration of the q-vectors with the supercell size is crucial to preserve degeneracies in Sb2S3 crystals.…”
