The inference-boundary model reinterpreting theme and rheme by Leong, Ping Alvin

“…The Hallidayan notions of theme and rheme pose an interesting challenge to linguists in their attempts to pin them down more specifically. This paper argues that since the thematic structure of the clause organises it as a message, a useful starting point in theme–rheme research is an understanding of how clausal messages are typically processed by language users. …”

Experimental and numerical study of self-locking adaptable inter connection for modular steel structures by Nadeem, Gohar, Safiee, Nor Azizi, Bakar, Nabilah Abu, Karim, Izian Abd, Mohd Nasir, Noor Azline

“…The findings indicated that the gap produced between connection and column under higher displacement was sensitive to the outer bolt and spring pin. This gap could be further reduced by increasing the number of outer bolts and by reducing tolerance between adapter and column walls.…”

Ultrafast diffusive cross-sheet motion of lithium through antimonene with a 2+1 dimensional kinetics by Kistanov, Andrey A., Kripalani, Devesh Raju, Cai, Yongqing, Dmitriev, Sergey V., Zhou, Kun, Zhang, Yong-Wei

“…Layered two-dimensional (2D) materials like graphene are highly appealing for lithium battery applications owing to their high surface–volume ratios. However, a critical issue that limits their practical applications is the confined motion of lithium atoms within their van der Waals gaps, which is the leading cause for battery failure due to severe clustering and phase separation. …”

Multiplexed switched- capacitor filter design with emphasize on crosstalk reduction by Li, Jianer.

“…SWITCHED-CAPACITOR (SC) filtering is a very well established technique for processing signals that are mainly in the audio frequency range. Advantages, such as the insensitivity of response to the unavoidable process fabrication deviations and the possibility of having a digital control over their characteristics, has enable SC to gain popularity in practical IC design [1,2].…”
