Nonequilibrium hyperuniform fluids by Lei, Yusheng

“…This thesis aims to provide an in-depth discussion on hyperuniform structures observed in various nonequilibrium many-particle systems, mainly focusing on those without long-range interactions, where hyperuniformity emerges through self-organization due to their nonequilibrium nature. …”

Structural integrity assessment of rail steel failure modes and mechanism by Liu, Yang

“…Rail steels are susceptible to fatigue failures resulting in rail breaks that can lead to unplanned downtime and safety concerns in railway operations. The main concern of the structural integrity in the rail track system is rail breaks resulting from fatigue failures of continuously welded rail structures, particularly, the thermite welded rail joints. …”

Monitoring membrane biofouling via ultrasonic time-domain reflectometry enhanced by silica dosing by Sim, S. T. V., Suwarno, S. R., Chong, T. H., Krantz, William B., Fane, Anthony Gordon

“…Detecting biofouling noninvasively in real-time has been a long-standing challenge in membrane processes. Ultrasonic Time Domain Reflectometry (UTDR) offers the potential to address this challenge when used in a ‘canary cell’ that samples a slip stream from the feed to the membrane process. …”

Unraveling the Dynamics of Mental and Visuospatial Workload in Virtual Reality Environments by Bernal, Guillermo, Jung, Hahrin, Yassı, İsmail Emir, Hidalgo, Nelson, Alemu, Yodahe, Barnes-Diana, Tyler, Maes, Pattie

“…Our findings indicate a broadband increase in EEG power just prior to a helper event, followed by a spike of visuospatial engagement (parietal alpha and beta 0-1-3 s) occurring concurrently with a decrease in mental workload (frontal theta 2&ndash;4 s), and subsequent decreases in visuospatial engagement (parietal theta at 14 s) and physiological arousal (HRV at 20 s). …”
