Motion and deformation of a bubble in a Hele-Shaw cell by Wu, K, Booth, DJ, Griffiths, IAN, Nunes, JK, Stone, HA

“…The bubble is then flattened into a pancake-like shape, with an approximately circular profile when viewed from above, and thin liquid films lie between the bubble and the cell walls. …”

Strain-tuning of nematicity and superconductivity in single crystals of FeSe by Ghini, M, Bristow, M, Prentice, JCA, Sutherland, S, Sanna, S, Haghighirad, AA, Coldea, AI

“…Our results indicate that the superconducting state is enhanced under compressive strain and suppressed under tensile strain, in agreement with the trends observed in FeSe thin films and overdoped pnictides, whereas the nematic phase seems to be affected in the opposite way by the uniaxial strain. …”

Water surge risk mapping using GIS-based spatial multi-criteria decision analysis approach by Syarifuddin, Misbari, Siti Sarah, Abd Razak, Muhammad Fuad Fahmi, Jaafar, Nadiatul Adilah, Ahmad Abdul Ghani, Mohd Faizal, Jamlos

“…A water surge risk map is developed by not only visualizing water surge factors but also weighting each relevant contributing factor, such as terrain elevation, land use type, and rainfall. The finding of the study suggests that Sg. Pandan Waterfall area falls into medium-risk water surge zones due to combination of three main factors including terrain elevation, land use or rainfall pattern. …”

Terahertz conductivity of topological surface states in Bi1.5Sb0.5Te1.8Se1.2 by Tang, Chi Sin, Xia, Bin, Zou, Xingquan, Chen, Shi, Ou, Hong-Wei, Wang, Lan, Rusydi, A., Zhu, Jian-Xin, Chia, Elbert E. M.

“…Using Terahertz Time-Domain Spectroscopy (THz-TDS), we present complex conductivity of BSTS single crystals, disentangling the surface and bulk contributions. We find that the Drude spectral weight is 1–2 orders of magnitude smaller than in other Bi-based topological insulators, and similar to that of Bi2Se3 thin films, suggesting a significant contribution of the topological surface states to the conductivity of the BSTS sample. …”

Exciton Dynamics and Anisotropy in 2D Metal Organochalcogenolate Semiconductors by Lee, Woo Seok

“…Using time-resolved and temperature dependent optical spectroscopy, combined with sub-gap photoexcitation studies, we demonstrate that the exciton dynamics in AgSePh films are dominated by the interaction of free-excitons with extrinsic defect states, whereas the dynamics in AgTePh are dominated by intrinsic exciton selftrapping behavior. …”

Understanding the justifications for food policies through political theory: a method for public policy analysis by Thomas, O

“…While the proportion of deaths and illnesses due to NCDs has increased globally, the causal burden now increasingly falls on diet. In response to this, states have gradually introduced policies to curb sugar consumption, ranging from restrictive interventions like bans, to high-agency interventions like awareness campaigns. …”

EEG-based attention recognition using machine learning by Sun, Haoqi

“…Stage II is low vigilance, which is further divided into Stage II.1: drowsiness and difficulty in attention allocation; and Stage II.2: distraction instead of falling asleep. A possible explanation for stage II.2 is that, the environment contains not enough external stimuli to keep the open eye and situation-aware state, so that the brain performs vigilance regulation to seek external stimuli, and hence leading to distraction. …”
