Synthesis of robust and multifunctional microcapsules for protective coatings used in marine and offshore environments by Sun, Dawei

“…The trifunctional microcapsules were characterized systematically, presenting superior stability in acetone, and higher mechanical strength than that of double resistant microcapsules. In order to investigate the influence of metal shell on microcapsules, systematic comparison was conducted between double resistant microcapsules and trifunctional microcapsules. …”

Understanding sudden larch death – from epidemiology to host resistance by Dun, H

“…In younger stands most trees died within 6-12 months of first infection but some still survived, although with severe branch dieback, more than three years later. Older stands with >95% mortality had occasional very healthy trees at least seven years after first reported infection. …”

What are the intensities and line-shapes of the twenty four polarization terms in coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy? by Niu, Kai, Lee, Soo-Ying

Probabilistic verification beyond context-freeness by Li, G

“…Furthermore, rPTSA and PAHORS are shown to be strictly more expressive than order-1 PHORS and incomparable to order-2 PHORS, and they hence offer a balance between expressiveness and decidability.…”

Low-energy channel for mass transfer in Pt crystal initiated by molecule impact by Babicheva, Rita I., Evazzade, Iman, Korznikova, Elena A., Shepelev, Igor A., Zhou, Kun, Dmitriev, Sergey V.

“…It is revealed that in order to generate a crowdion moving inside the crystal, the properly oriented molecule needs an order of magnitude smaller energy than single atom. …”
