Breakup of ultra-thin liquid films on vertical fiber enhanced by Marangoni effect by Ding, Zijing, Liu, Zhou, Liu, Rong, Yang, Chun

“…Linear stability analysis shows that the Rayleigh-Plateau instability is enhanced by the long-range attractions and Marangoni effect. The spatial-temporal stability analysis shows that the instability is absolute when A + M > 0.17 (A is a composite Hamaker number accounting for the strength of van der Waals attractions and M is the Marangoni number). …”

Forest warrior : a virtual reality application to enhance climate change awareness by Sankar, Ahkshara

“…The stark distinction in the colour scheme and the barren land following the scene of the forest burning is built to create a long-lasting impression in the users' minds. The art of storytelling was entwined to directly interact with the users to highlight the consequences of deforestation and motivate them to take responsibility for the current environmental destruction, further urging them to take control of their actions. …”

Discounting from a distance: the effect of pronoun drop on intertemporal decisions by Chen, Josie I., He, Tai-Sen

“…Intertemporal decisions—trade-offs between immediate and delayed rewards—are ubiquitous in daily life, and the ability to resist the emotional temptation to choose immediate gratification predicts long-term economic outcomes. Based on existing research on self-distancing—a psychological technique that cues people to assess their experiences from afar and has been shown to facilitate emotion regulation—we propose a novel, unobtrusive linguistic self-distancing strategy through a subtle pronoun drop and examine its impact on intertemporal decisions. …”

Direct ink writing of silicon-based anodes for Li-ion batteries by Arutselvan Pranav Ganesh

“…Among the different EESDs, the lithium-ion battery (LIB) is the most promising option due to its high power and energy densities, long service life, and eco-friendliness. However, the commercial LIBs available are mostly based on sandwich-shaped graphite electrodes produced by slot-die coating or doctor blade coating (DBC) that was found to limit battery performance. …”
