Surface engineering to manipulate solar energy for thermal management by Fei, Jipeng

“…However, we found that the radiative cooling capability of the designed hierarchical porous membrane is not as obvious as reported by researchers from other countries (Mainly US and China). Thus, we theoretically investigated the radiative cooling criteria in Singapore, complemented by experimental verification. …”

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. …”

Unveiling the facade of blog posts to reveal subjective well-being : an exploratory study. by Ou, Zhiqi., Tan, Justine Yi Ting., Tan, Jessie Zi Xi.

“…In this exploratory study to form a bridge between existing methods to gauge the well-being of people and the usage of social media as a data source, we find that there are substantial links between the subjective and objective well-being of people and the feelings expressed by people in blogs. Our two main findings demonstrate that eight out of 11 of the regressions involving the objective ranking as the main independent variable show the objective ranking having the correct expected sign at at least the 10% significance level. …”

Spin-ice physics and phase transitions in cadmium cyanide by Coates, CS

“…Ice-rules-obeying states are characterised by an absence of long range order, leading to a manifold of degenerate ground states, extensive residual entropy and exotic excitations; in spin-ices, these excitations correspond to topological defects in the form of effective magnetic monopoles. The main barrier to experimentation and application of these topological defects is the extremely low temperatures (~ 1 K) at which the spin-ice correlations develop. …”

Benchmarking Pavement Environmental Performance Using Data-Driven Modeling and Policy by Vaidyanath, Varsha

“…This paper addresses how a new pavement evaluation system and policy framework might drive better solutions to reduce carbon emissions, from a climate change standpoint. The main components include: establishing why current pavement rating systems and current policy are not sufficient, performing a data-driven analysis with a grading and scorecard system to assess, compare, and summarizing pavement design quality, and proposing an effective policy framework to implement the system.…”
