An Analytical Solution for the Vibration and Far-Field Sound Radiation Analysis of Finite, Semisubmerged Cylindrical Shells by Wenjie Guo, Zhou Yang, Yueyang Han

“…In the cylindrical coordinate system, the Flügge shell equations and Laplace equation are used to describe the cylindrical shell and surrounding fluid so that the vibration responses of the shell can be addressed analytically. The fluid free surface effect is taken into account by applying the sine series to force the velocity potential on the free surface to be zero. …”

Bond Stress between Steel-Reinforced Bars and Fly Ash-Based Geopolymer Concrete by Yifei Cui, Peng Zhang, Jiuwen Bao

“…The results showed that the relative slip between plain bar and geopolymer concrete varies from 30–450 microns from the loaded end to the free end when the bond stress decreased by 83%. The relative slip between ribbed bar and geopolymer concrete varies from 280–3,000 microns from the loaded end to the free end when the bond stress decreased by 57%. …”

System- and sample-agnostic isotropic three-dimensional microscopy by weakly physics-informed, domain-shift-resistant axial deblurring by Jiashu Han, Kunzan Liu, Keith B. Isaacson, Kristina Monakhova, Linda G. Griffith, Sixian You

“…This challenge is particularly pronounced in label-free imaging of thick, heterogeneous tissues, where assumptions about data distribution (e.g. sparsity, label-specific distribution, and lateral-axial similarity) and system priors (e.g. independent and identically distributed noise and linear shift-invariant point-spread functions are often invalid. …”

Cooperation in the face of crisis: effect of demographic noise in collective-risk social dilemmas by José F. Fontanari

“…For most parameter settings, free-riders (defectors) cannot be eliminated from the population, leading to a coexistence equilibrium between cooperators and defectors for infinite populations. …”

A Moderate Zinc Deficiency Does Not Alter Lipid and Fatty Acid Composition in the Liver of Weanling Rats Fed Diets Rich in Cocoa Butter or Safflower Oil by Edgar Weigand, Jennifer Egenolf

“…Male weanling rats, assigned to five groups (8 animals each), were fed low-carbohydrate high-fat diets supplemented with 7 or 50 mg Zn/kg (LZ or HZ) and 22% cocoa butter (CB) or 22% safflower oil (SF) for four weeks. One group each had free access to the LZ-CB and LZ-SF diets, one group each was restrictedly fed the HZ-CB and HZ-SF diets in matching amounts, and one group had free access to the HZ-SF diet (ad libitum control). …”

Sensitivity of Service Life Extension and CO2 Emission due to Repairs by Silane Treatment Applied on Concrete Structures under Time-Dependent Chloride Attack by Aruz Petcherdchoo

“…The effectiveness of silane treatment is defined as the ratio of the service life extension to the cumulative CO2 emission assessed within the corrosion-free service life. The service life extension is defined as the difference between corrosion-free service life of concrete structures without and with time-based application of silane treatment. …”

Quantum correlations and artificial intelligence by L. B. Boldyreva, E. Yu. Belova

“…In this case the special relativity postulate concerning the speed of light is not violated, because it relates to inertial systems only; however, quantum correlation due to being dissipation free is an inertialess process (which follows from the well-known, experimentally-verified relationship between mass m and energy E: E = mc2, where с is the speed of light). …”
