Fibre-assisted expansive mortar for high-efficiency rock fracturing by Lee, Elton Zi Zong

“…To determine if the fibre-assisted SCDA is more effective under constrained environment, a further experiment was done on the granite cylinders with fibre-assisted SCDA. By using a steep clamp, the two ends of the borehole were blocked, giving it both top and bottom constrains. …”

Nebular dominated galaxies: insights into the stellar initial mass function at high redshift by Cameron, AJ, Katz, H, Witten, C, Saxena, A, Laporte, N, Bunker, A

“…While Balmer jumps are sometimes observed in low-redshift star-forming galaxies, this galaxy also exhibits a steep turnover in the UV continuum. Such turnovers are typically attributed to absorption by a damped Ly𝛼 system (DLA); however, the shape of the turnover and the high observed Ly𝛼 escape fraction ( 𝑓esc,Ly𝛼 ∼ 27%) is also consistent with strong nebular two-photon continuum emission. …”
