Crossover from viscous fingering to fracturing in cohesive wet granular media: a photoporomechanics study by Meng, Yue, Li, Wei, Juanes, Ruben

“…We fabricate photoelastic spherical particles of diameter d = 2 mm, and make a monolayer granular pack with tunable intergranular cohesion in a circular Hele–Shaw cell that is initially filled with viscous silicone oil. We inject water into the oil-filled photoelastic granular pack, varying the injection flow rate, defending-fluid viscosity, and intergranular cohesion. …”

Financial sentiment analysis: techniques and applications by Du, Kelvin, Xing, Frank, Mao, Rui, Cambria, Erik

“…Financial Sentiment Analysis (FSA) is an important domain application of sentiment analysis that has gained increasing attention in the past decade. FSA research falls into two main streams. The first stream focuses on defining tasks and developing techniques for FSA, and its main objective is to improve the performances of various FSA tasks by advancing methods and using/curating human-annotated datasets. …”

Nontrivial quantum oscillation geometric phase shift in a trivial band by Datta, Biswajit, Adak, Pratap Chandra, Shi, Li-kun, Watanabe, Kenji, Taniguchi, Takashi, Song, Justin Chien Wen, Deshmukh, Mandar M.

“…We observe that Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations of the quadratic band are shifted by a phase that sharply departs from the expected 2π Berry's phase and is inherited from the nontrivial Berry's phase of the linear band. We find this arises due to an unusual filling enforced constraint between the quadratic band and linear band Fermi surfaces. …”
