Experimental investigation into load settlement characteristics of piled rafts in sand by Leong, Hazel Xueling.

“…Studies by many notable researchers in the years to come suggest that the most effective combinations of piles and raft happens when all the initial loading can be borne with the raft’s bearing capacity alone. The role of the piles was solely to reduce the excessive settlement experienced by the plain raft.…”

PostIndependentzia by Calzada, I

“…Rather than providing a prescriptive work and a recipe of answers to be applied, the goal is to foster discussion by identifying questions that may lead towards policy-making projects. Special effort has been made to open up the way towards having a solid and rigorous discussion. …”

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

“…We show that independent of the material system, the presence of a load-bearing matrix distributes the stress in the composite, contributing to a high-strength, globally stretchingdominated failure behavior, regardless of nodal connectivity. …”

Another philosophical look at twistor theory by Gajic, G, Lilani, N, Read, J

“…In this article, we (a) present for philosophers an introduction to twistor theory, (b) consider how the spacetime–twistor correspondence interacts with the philosophical literature on theoretical equivalence, and (c) explore the bearing which twistor theory might have on philosophical issues such as the status of dynamics, the geometrisation of physics, spacetime ontology, the emergence of spacetime, and symmetry-to-reality inferences. …”

Fragmentation of white phosphorus by a cyclic (alkyl)(amino)alumanyl anion by Koshino, Kota, Kinjo, Rei

“…Structural and electronic features of the latter were fully characterized by standard spectroscopic means, X-ray diffraction analysis, and computational studies, which revealed that 2 bears highly polarized Al (δ+) and P (δ-) and relatively short Al-P bonds, indicative of the σ-donating and π-accepting nature of CAAAl groups.…”
