Performance Evaluation of Hard Rock TBMs considering Operational and Rock Conditions by Xiaoyang Zou, Hui Zheng, Yongzhen Mi

“…Firstly, a rigid-flexible coupled multibody dynamic model of an opening hard rock TBM is established for the analysis of its vibration. Then four performance indexes including mean vibration energy dissipation rate, dynamic specific energy (DSE), disc cutter wear rate, and load sharing coefficient are introduced and formulated, respectively, for evaluating the vibration level, excavation energy efficiency, cutter’s vulnerability to wear, and load transmission performance of cutterhead driving system of the TBM. …”

Amortissement des phonons dans un superfluide 2D : insuffisance de la règle d’or de Fermi à basse température by Castin, Yvan, Serafin, Alan, Sinatra, Alice

“…We confirm this prediction with classical phonon-field simulations and a non-perturbative theory in H3, where the fourth order is regularized by hand, giving a complex energy to the virtual phonons of the four-phonon collisional processes. For a weakly interacting fluid and a phonon mode in the long-wavelength limit, we predict a damping rate about three times lower than that of the golden rule. …”

A between-subjects investigation of whether distraction is the main mechanism behind music-induced analgesia by Nazlı Bronz Arıcan, Efe Soyman

“…In this study, to assess whether music-induced analgesia primarily operates through cognitive modulation, we used the cold pressor task and objectively compared the pain tolerances of participants in a four-group between-subjects design: a music group that listened to a music piece in the absence of any tasks, a music-and-attention-to-music group that listened to the same piece while also rating the arousal levels in the music, a music-and-attention-to-pain group that rated their pain levels while listening to the same piece, and a silence group as control. …”

A survey of Australian dairy farmers’ attitudes to their business, its challenges and transitioning to alternative enterprises by Esra Celik, Diana Bogueva, Clive J.C. Phillips, Dora Marinova

“…Using a telephone-based representative survey and interviews with 147 Australian dairy farmers conducted in 2023, we employed a mixed-method approach combining quantitative and qualitative analysis to determine the challenges and primary concerns of the participants, as well as to explore potential solutions. Four key variables that contributed significantly to a binary logistic regression model of transition intentions were identified, namely: level of satisfaction with dairy farming, openness to exploring other agricultural alternatives to dairy farming, preference to receive financial and/or other support to remain in the industry and preference to receive financial and/or other support to transition into a different form of farming or business. …”
