Anomalous crystalline ordering of particles in a viscoelastic fluid under high shear by Sun, Sijie, Xue, Nan, Aime, Stefano, Kim, Hyoungsoo, Tang, Jizhou, McKinley, Gareth H., Stone, Howard A., Weitz, David A.

“…Addition of particles to a viscoelastic suspension dramatically alters the properties of the mixture, particularly when it is sheared or otherwise processed. Shear-induced stretching of the polymers results in elastic stress that causes a substantial increase in measured viscosity with increasing shear, and an attractive interaction between particles, leading to their chaining. …”

The impact of foreign direct investment on the economy of the people's republic of China : a macroeconomic model by Lim, Harold Chee Kian, See Toh, Wai Meng, Hu, Koon Phei

“…The econometric study is purely empirical in nature and thus throws new light on the various channels through which FDI influences five macroeconomic variables: economic growth, exports, imports, national saving and domestic investment. For the case of China, FDI appears to have a positive effect on economic growth, exports and imports, negative effect on national savings and no significant effect on domestic investment. …”

Effect of residual soil depth on soil-water characteristic curve and unsaturated shear strength by Tikno, Nickanor

“…This study focused on investigating characteristics of residual soils from three main formations in Singapore from different depths with respect to parameters of soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) and unsaturated shear strength using statistical analyses. The parameters investigated in this study are percentage of fines (%), air-entry value (AEV), saturated permeability (ks), effective cohesion (c’), effective friction angle (’) and angle representing the rate of increase in shear strength with respect to an increase in matric suction (b). …”
