Library cafes : next logical step by Pierce, William

“…But now, in the more relaxed, unencumbered age in which we live traditional library customs and practices once held sacrosanct are being re-evaluated in relation to the bottom line. And the bottom line, at least as far as public libraries are concerned, is getting more people to use the library.…”

Non-abelian representations of some sporadic geometries by Ivanov, Alexander A., Pasechnik, Dmitrii V., Shpectorov, Sergey V.

“…For a point-line incidence system S =(P, L) with three points per line we define the universal representation group of S asR(S)= 〈zp, p∈P|zp^2=1 for p∈P,zp zq zr = 1 for {p,q,r} ∈ L〉We prove that if G is the 2-local parabolic geometry of the sporadic simple group F1(the Monster) or F2(the Baby Monster) thenR(G)≅F1or 2·F2, respectively.…”

Electronic and transport properties of TMDC planar superlattices: effective Hamiltonian approach by Hashemi, R., Shojaei, S., Liu, Zheng

“…Within governed effective Hamiltonian we derived adopted transfer matrix formalism to obtain dispersion relation and electronic band structure with wave functions, transmission probability and Fano spectrum. Surprisingly, spin orbit coupling has considerable opposite effects on valence bands shift in TMDC-PSL that is blue and red for k and k’ valleys, respectively. …”

Azadihomocorannulene as a heptagon-embedded diradicaloid by Hamamoto, Yosuke, Wang, Weifan, Li, Yongxin, Ito, Shingo

“…The synthesis was achieved through a mechanochemical C(sp2)-H/C(sp3)-H coupling in the presence of sodium as a key reaction. Electron spin resonance studies revealed that the neutral azapentabenzodihomocorannulene adopts a singlet diradical (diradicaloid) ground state with a small singlet-triplet energy gap of 2.1 kcal/mol. …”

Investigation on the braking characteristics of tractor-trailer on jackknifing by Gan, Zhilong

“…The results show that when the wheels remains in rolling motion, the brake input needs to be sufficient enough so as to inhibit the translational motion of the vehicle as well as work against the trailer swing motion or tractor spin-out. On the other hand, when the wheels are in sliding motion, the effective braking force exerted on the wheels is reduced and therefore increases the chance of jackknifing again. …”
