Ionization calculations using classical molecular dynamics by Plummer, D, Svensson, P, Gericke, DO, Hollebon, P, Vinko, SM, Gregori, G

“…To illustrate the method, two simple models applicable to partially ionized hydrogen plasma are presented in which pair potentials are employed between ions and neutral particles. Within the models, electrons are either bound in the hydrogen ground state or distributed in a uniform charge-neutralizing background. …”

Gold-catalyzed cyclization of yndiamides with isoxazoles via α-imino gold Fischer carbenes by Tong, Z, Smith, PJ, Pickford, HD, Christensen, KE, Anderson, EA

“…DFT calculations revealed that the key to this regioselectivity was the interconversion of isomeric gold keteniminiun ions via a low-barrier π-complex transition state, which establishes a Curtin-Hammett scenario for isoxazole addition. …”

Mini suction probe for matric suction measurements by Meilani, Inge, Rahardjo, Harianto, Leong, Eng Choon, Fredlund, Delwyn G.

“…Matric suctions as high as 400 kPa were successfully measured on soil specimens over a time span of 15 h. On the other hand, the mini suction probes were also found to be able to measure a matric suction of 200 kPa for a longer period of 155 h.…”

Futurism: performance and performativity of a movement by Scarso, Jacek Ludwig

“…Performance interventions span across the history of this movement (Goldberg, 2011): from the notorious 'serate' instigated by Marinetti, in which the audience would be purposefully scandalised, provoked and offended, to the futurist music concerts that provided an ancestral root for the aesthetics of synthesised sound in contemporary music (Rodney, 1976), not to mention the Russian counterpart of this movement, which embraced, on stage, such wide a field as to encompass theatre, opera, dance, music and scenic design. …”
