Semi-Resolved CFD-DEM Study on the Influence of ‘Surface Energy’ Factors on the Deposition of Lignin Particles in Ceramic Membrane Pores

This study adopted a semi‑analytical CFD‑DEM coupling method to simulate the movement and deposition of lignin particles in ceramic membrane pores, with the aim of elucidating the microscopic mechanisms of membrane fouling. The movement of ...

Design, manufacturing, and performance evaluation of heat pipe with three-segmented composite wick structure

The wick structure functions as a core component for heat pipe (HP) and stands as one of the critical factors that dictate the performance of HP. Consequently, this paper puts forward an three-segmented composite wick structure, which is ma...

Investigation of the Friction Performance of G3000 (Variant), GG20, and GG15 (High Carbon) Cast Brake Discs Using the SAE J2522 Procedure

This study compares the friction performance of three commonly used cast brake disc materials in the automotive industry: the G3000 variant, GG20, and GG15 (high carbon content). Samples were tested on an inertia dynamometer following the S...

XILS Credibility Assessment and Scenario Representativeness Methodology Based on Geometric Similarity Analysis for Autonomous Driving Systems

With continuous advancements in autonomous driving technology, systematic and reliable safety verification is becoming increasingly important. However, despite the active development of various X-in-the-loop simulation (XILS) platforms to v...

Nonadiabatic Berry phase in nanocrystalline magnets

It is investigated how a Berry phase is created in polycrystalline nanomagnets and how the phase translates into an emergent magnetic field and into a topological Hall-effect contribution. The analysis starts directly from the spin of the c...

Additive roles of antiferromagnetically coupled elements in the magnetic proximity effect in the GdFeCo/Pt system

Abstract Interfacial magnetic interactions between different elements are the origin of various spin-transport phenomena in multi-elemental magnetic systems. We investigate the coupling between the magnetic moments of the rare-earth, transi...

Enhanced Absorption with Graphene-Coated Silicon Carbide Nanowires for Mid-Infrared Nanophotonics

The mid-infrared (MIR) is an exciting spectral range that also hosts useful molecular vibrational fingerprints. There is a growing interest in nanophotonics operating in this spectral range, and recent advances in plasmonic research are aim...

Impacts of land-use changes and landholding fragmentation on crop water demand and drought in Wadi El-Farigh, New Delta project, Egypt

Despite Egypt’s limited water resources, more lands in the western desert of the Nile Delta are currently being reclaimed to increase the agricultural area to feed its fast-growing population and provide jobs for new generations. These recl...

To Be or Not to Be: Alicante-8, a Cluster or Not?

Recent surveys have uncovered new young massive clusters that host dozens of red supergiants (RSGs) near the inner Galaxy. However, many of them have still not been fully studied. Using Very Large Telescope/X-shooter near-infrared spectra, ...

The Structure of Micro-Variability in the WEBT BL Lacertae Observation

We present the results of an in-depth analysis of the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT) micro-variability observations made during a campaign done in 2020 on the blazar BL Lacertae. The data consisted of 231 days of optical imaging and we...

So FAIR, so good

Large international collaborations in the field of Nuclear and Subnuclear Physics have been leading the implementation of FAIR principles for managing research data. These principles are essential when dealing with large volumes of data ove...

Deuteron photodisintegration by polarized photons in the region of the d⁎(2380)

We report the first large-acceptance measurement of the beam–spin asymmetry for deuteron photodisintegration (γ→d→pn) in the photon energy range 420...

Pt and CoB trilayer Josephson $$\pi $$ π junctions with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy

Abstract We report on the electrical transport properties of Nb based Josephson junctions with Pt/Co $$_{68}$$ 68 B $$_{32}$$ 32 /Pt ferromagnetic barriers. The barriers exhibit perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, which has the main advantag...

“The afterlife” of money. The coins found in the necropolis of Brad (Negri Commune, Bacău County)

The medieval necropolis of Brad overlaps the fortified section of the Geto-Dacian fortress of Zargidava, located on the left bank of the Siret River. Altogether, 962 graves were researched here during the years 1963-2004. The numismatic mat...

O silêncio como discurso: o projeto de lei “escola sem partido” e a invisibilidade da juventude LGBT na lógica da mordaça

Este artigo problematiza a interdição à cidadania da juventude LGBT a partir tanto da atual tramitação do PL (Projeto de Lei) “Escola sem Partido” na Câmara Municipal de Campo Grande – MS quanto das reverberações dos discursos que o permeia...

Natural Earth Pigments as Geological Polymineral Systems: A Structured Approach to Provenance and Degradation Assessment in Heritage Science

Natural earth pigments are polymineral materials whose present composition may differ from the source because of selection, grinding, heating, mixing, binder incorporation, and later alteration. This study develops a structured method for s...
