Dynamic Simulation on Deflagration of LNG Spill by Biao Sun, Kaihua Guo, Vishnu K. Pareek

“…High flame velocity observed in the simulation was coupled with the thin flame front where overpressure occurred. The CFD model could capture the main features of deflagration combustion and account for LNG fire hazard which could provide an in-depth insight when dealing with complicated cases.…”

Perturbations of Dipole Decay Dynamics Induced by Plasmonic Nano-antennas – A Study within the Discrete Dipole Approximation by Stefania D'Agostino, Fabio Della Sala, Lucio Claudio Andreani

“…Numerical results reveal 105-order enhancements in the total decay rate of the dipole when located very near to the sharp tip, both with and without a thin Ag2O layer. Moreover, the counter- intuitive behaviour of the cone response in relation to the distance between the metal and the source of the radiation is discussed. …”

Design of adhesively-bonded single lap joints for automotive applications under compressive loading by Ferhat Kadioglu, Murat Demiral

“…Energy absorption is originated from the adherend plasticity and adhesive layer in the adhesive joints. Thin adhesive layer is not expected to contribute too much to the absorption whereas the adherends could be the main source for this purpose depending on their mechanical properties, dimensions and loading mode. …”

Designing a Control System for an Airplane Wing Flutter Employing Gas Actuators by A. R. Ansari, A. R. B. Novinzadeh

“…This scheme makes use of quasi-steady dynamic premises and incompressible flow, as well as the thin airfoil theory. It should be noted that, to justify the application of the aerodynamic theory, we have speculated that the thruster jet ejected through a nozzle with a diameter smaller than several millimeters has a supersonic regime (with Mach number of the order of M≈3.5). …”

The last giants: New evidence for giant Late Triassic (Rhaetian) ichthyosaurs from the UK. by Dean R Lomax, Paul de la Salle, Marcello Perillo, Justin Reynolds, Ruby Reynolds, James F Waldron

“…The identification of two specimens with the same unique morphology and from the same geologic age and geographic location warrants the erection of a new genus and species, Ichthyotitan severnensis gen. et sp. nov. Thin sections of the new specimen revealed the same histological features already observed in similar giant ichthyosaurian specimens. …”

Effects of Different Operating Temperatures on the Tensile Properties of the Grid Plate Hardfaced with Colmonoy in a Pool Type Sodium Fast Reactor by S. Balaguru, Vela Murali, P. Chellapandi

“…If there is a direct contact between the grid plate and the flange of core support structure, self-welding takes place between them at the high operating temperature of SFR by a thin sheet of liquid sodium which gets into the gap between them as this sodium acts as a metallic gum. …”

Cell Imaging by Spontaneous and Amplified Raman Spectroscopies by Giulia Rusciano, Gianluigi Zito, Giuseppe Pesce, Antonio Sasso

“…Later on, we point out that the weak signals that originated from Raman scattering do not allow probing optically thin samples, such as cellular membrane. Experimental approaches able to overcome this drawback are based on the use of metallic nanostructures, which lead to a huge amplification of the Raman yields thanks to the excitation of localized surface plasmon resonances. …”
