Microlensing of Strongly Lensed Quasars by Vernardos, G., Sluse, D., Pooley, D., Schmidt, R. W., Millon, M., Weisenbach, L., Motta, V., Anguita, T., Saha, P., O’Dowd, M., Peel, A., Schechter, P. L.

“…Some of this potential has been realized over the past few decades, however the upcoming era of large sky surveys promises to bring this promise to full fruition. In this article, we review the theoretical framework of this field, describe the prominent current methods for parameter inference from quasar microlensing data across different observing modalities, and discuss the constraints so far derived on the geometry and physics of quasar inner structure. …”

Experimental study and theoretical modeling for the compressive stress-strain relationship of multi-scale hybrid fiber-reinforced SHCC by Zhang, C., Yuan, Z., Shen, Y.

“…Moderately partially substituted PVA fibers by steela fiber and CaCO3 whisker enhanced the compressive parameters, however, further substitution of PVA fibers by increasing the content of CaCO3 whisker didn’t bring a higher promotion. Two kinds of semi-theoretical compression constitutive models were developed from the perspective of damage mechanics theory and geometrical mathematical description, respectively. …”
