First-principles study of the lattice dynamics of Sb2S3 by Liu, Yun, Eddie Chua, Kun Ting, Sum, Tze Chien, Gan, Chee Kwan

“…The effect of Born effective charges is taken into account using a mixed-space approach, resulting in the splitting of longitudinal and transverse optical (LO-TO) phonon branches near the zone center. Zone-center frequencies agree well with Raman scattering experiments. …”

Diboron-carbene complexes derived from a geminal dianion by Fan, Jun, Yang, Ming-Chung, Hooper, Thomas J. N., Su, Ming-Der, So, Cheuk-Wai

“…The lability of the boron-carbene bond was found in the reaction of the sterically hindered thiophosphinoyl iminophosphoranyl geminal dianion [C(PPh2NAr)(PPh2S)]2- (Ar = 2,6-iPr2C6H3) with B2Br4(SMe2)2 in toluene to form the diboron-carbene complex 4, where one boron center bonds with two methanediides, leading to an allyl anionic-like C═B←C2- electronic structure, while another boron center is stabilized by two imino substituents. …”

Planar Helical Antenna of Circular Polarization by Chen, Zhuozhu, Shen, Zhongxiang

“…The designed antenna operates at the center frequency of 10 GHz. Simulated results show that the planar helical antenna achieves wide-impedance bandwidth (|S11| <; -10 dB) from 7.4 to 12.8 GHz (54%) and 3-dB AR bandwidth from 8.2 to 11.6 GHz (34%), while retaining a thickness of only 0.11λ0 at the center frequency. …”

Bombyx and Bugs in Meiji Japan: Toward a Multispecies History? by Onaga, Lisa A.

“…In the lively, experimental spirit of multispecies research, I explore how a broader view of the domesticated silkworm species, which includes the “bugs” that afflicted it, forces us to reenvision familiar histories of sericulture that centered upon the means and end of “silk making.” In this case, a “multispecies” history draws our attention to the materiality of the biotic world that humans and nonhumans cohabit in order to produce a more holistic view of what “make silk.” …”

The Brazilian disc test for rock mechanics applications : review and new insights by Li, Diyuan, Wong, Louis Ngai Yuen

“…The maximum tensile stress and the maximum tensile strain are both found to occur about 5 mm away from the two loading points along the compressed diameter of the disc, instead of at the center of the disc surface. Therefore, the crack initiation point of the Brazilian test for rocks may be located near the loading point when the tensile strain meets the maximum extension strain criterion, but at the surface center when the tensile stress meets the maximum tensile strength criterion.…”
