Envisioning Water: Sustainability and Future-Making in Dubai and Los Angeles by Christidi, Nadia

“…Second, I consider how these interests, forces, and effects emerge from and get mediated through entrenched structures like bureaucratic systems, accumulation regimes, and sunken investments, which produce a stickiness to infrastructures and infrastructural visions that renders change challenging, slow, and incremental. …”

Mechanics of Three-Dimensional Micro-Architected Interpenetrating Phase Composites by Chen, Andrew Y.

“…While resulting in desirable strength and stiffness properties, the laminate-based structure leads to a high degree of anisotropy and unique failure modalities like interlaminar failure, limiting the performance of these composites under complex loading conditions. …”

Recovery of Herschel-Bulkley Fluid Parameters from Video via Differentiable Simulations by Eastman, John M.

“…Our approach aims to accurately recover physical parameters and achieve high-fidelity 3D reconstructions from single-view videos of fluids, even those with complex rheological behaviors like shear thinning and thickening. In this study, we apply our method to a Herschel-Bulkley fluid, namely ketchup, under two different real-world conditions: a 50mm column collapse and being squeezed from a bottle. …”

Echoes From the Stone Reframing Preservation in Syria Through Haurani Folklore by Alrifai, Hajar

“…In my family’s border village of Nasib—a place both liminal and at the margin—this rich local history lives not in formal archives but in scattered material like architectural ruins, oral poems, folk songs, diasporic transcripts, and 8mm video cassettes, many of which resonate as sonic artifacts. …”

Symmetry and its Signatures in Quantum Many-Body Dynamics by Ogunnaike, Olumakinde

“…This provides a general and versatile framework to qualitatively understand both familiar and novel universal properties of dynamical phenomena like charge diffusion, sub(super)-diffusion of multipole moments in systems with short and long-range interactions, charge and multipole, and even measurement-induced phase transitions. …”

Investigating cofactor transfer for a B₁₂-dependent enzyme by Duong, Alexander T.

“…Recent work has shown that the IcmF system utilizes a mechanism of active site opening similar to non-fused systems like that of humans. However, the mechanisms by which ATR recognizes the presence of damaged cofactor and then removes it remains unclear. …”

Towards a Single Bio-molecule Detector Based on CMOS Nanofluidic Platform by Zikrallah, Ahmed S.

“…Ideally, we would be able to continuously monitor the secretome of these cell therapies as they are transformed and expanded in manufacturing.However, state-of-theart techniques for monitoring typically low concentrations of cytokines require either Mass Spectroscopy (MS) or immunoassays like Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). We propose the use of CMOS technology to build a proteomic platform with a single biomolecule resolution. …”

Quantifying the effects of sunlight on the fate of oil spilled at sea by Freeman, Danielle Haas

“…I found that photo-dissolution likely converted ~8% of the floating surface oil to dissolved organic carbon during DwH, a fraction similar in magnitude to other well-recognized fate processes. …”

Global surgery and climate change: how global surgery can prioritise both the health of the planet and its people by Chen, Sophia, Zolo, Yvan, Ngulube, Lumbani, Isiagi, Moses, Maswime, Salome

“…With a focus on promoting health equity, Global Surgery advocates for expanding access to surgical care and enhancing health outcomes, particularly in resource-limited and disaster-affected areas like LMICs. The healthcare industry—and more specifically, surgical care—significantly contributes to the global carbon footprint, primarily through resource-intensive settings, i.e. operating rooms that generate greenhouse gases and substantial medical waste. …”

Study of the thermal decomposition of PFPEs lubricants on a thin DLC film using finitely extensible nonlinear elastic potential based molecular dynamics simulation by Deb Nath, S. K., Wong, C. H.

“…As PFPE Z contains no polar end groups, effects of temperature on the bond/break density (number of broken bonds/total number of bonds) are not so significant like PFPE Zdol. Effects of temperature on the bond/break density of PFPE Z on DLC surface are also discussed with the help of graphical results. …”

3D carbon/cobalt-nickel mixed-oxide hybrid nanostructured arrays for asymmetric supercapacitors by Zhu, Jianhui, Jiang, Jian, Sun, Zhipeng, Luo, Jingshan, Fan, Zhanxi, Huang, Xintang, Zhang, Hua, Yu, Ting

“…Herein, a novel supercapacitor electrode comprising 3D hierarchical mixed-oxide nanostructured arrays (NAs) of C/CoNi3O4 is reported. The network-like C/CoNi3O4 NAs exhibit a relatively high specific surface area; it is fabricated from ultra-robust Co-Ni hydroxide carbonate precursors through glucose-coating and calcination processes. …”

Semantic constraint on preposition incorporation of postverbal locative PPs in Mandarin Chinese by Peck, Jeeyoung, Lin, Jingxia

“…Previous studies claim that adjunct phrases which quantify an event, such as event delimiters, may behave like arguments (“the delimiter hypothesis”). Yet, our observation of Chinese finds that adjunct locative PPs that are not an event delimiter (e.g. directional 向 xiàng/往 wǎng ‘toward’ PPs or non-directional 在 zài ‘at’ PPs) can also allow their prepositional object to appear as the verbal object. …”
