Influence of the exchange symmetry beyond the exclusion principle by Tennie, F

“…In particular, we <em>analytically</em> study the (quasi-)pinning effect which corresponds to a saturation of the GPCs and imposes structural simplifications on the <em>N</em>-fermion state. …”

Mechanical performance and microstructural development of MgO-SiO2-H2O systems by Sonat, Cem

“…Microstructural analysis was performed via various techniques such as x-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric/derivative thermogravimetric analysis (TG/DTG), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). In the initial studies, where the influence of mix design and different curing conditions were discussed, mix compositions with a MgO/SiO2 weight ratio of 1-1.5 resulted in the best mechanical performance, depending on the water/binder ratio. …”

Mechanics of fracture and flexure in Antarctic ice sheets and ice shelves by Zhang, H

“…In grounding zones and floating ice shelves, ice fracturing is often associated with flexure modulated by ocean tides and subglacial water flow, as well as stresses created by shearing, such as pinning points. Fracture and flexure significantly affect the vulnerability of Antarctic ice shelves to hydrofracturing and, by altering buttressing effects, the mass balance of the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet. …”
