3D hydrogen-like screening effect on excitons in hBN-encapsulated monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides by S. Takahashi, S. Kusaba, K. Watanabe, T. Taniguchi, K. Yanagi, K. Tanaka

“…This suggests that the theoretically indicated modification of the exciton level structure due to the phonon resonances is negligible. The power-law scaling of exciton binding energies indicates that dielectric screening of 1L-MX2 exciton levels other than 1s can be approximated by that of a 3D hydrogen model with the dielectric constant of hBN.…”

The viscosity and processing of molten lunar regolith by James Bowen, Vibha Levin Prabhu, Sungwoo Lim, Mahesh Anand

“…This paper considers the high-temperature processing of molten lunar regolith under conditions which represent the lunar environment, namely low gravity, low temperature, and negligible atmospheric pressure. The rheological properties of the low-titanium lunar mare regolith simulant JSC-1A are measured using concentric cylinder rheometry and these results are used to explore the influence of viscosity on processing operations involving the flow of molten regolith for fabricating construction components on the Moon surface. …”

Transient Dynamic Response of Delaminated Composite Rotating Shallow Shells Subjected to Impact by Amit Karmakar, Kikuo Kishimoto

“…Lagrange's equation of motion is used to derive the dynamic equilibrium equation and moderate rotational speeds are considered wherein the Coriolis effect is negligible. An eight noded isoparametric plate bending element is employed in the finite element formulation incorporating rotary inertia and effects of transverse shear deformation based on Mindlin's theory. …”

Formulated Beta-Cyfluthrin Shows Wide Divergence in Toxicity among Bird Species by Laura M. Addy-Orduna, María-Elena Zaccagnini, Sonia B. Canavelli, Pierre Mineau

“…It is generally assumed that the toxicity of pyrethroid insecticides to birds is negligible, though few species have been tested. The oral acute toxicity of formulated beta-cyfluthrin was determined for canaries (Serinus sp.), shiny cowbirds (Molothrus bonariensis), and eared doves (Zenaida auriculata). …”

Experimental Study on Fatigue Performance of Negative Bending Moment of Steel-Concrete Continuous Composite Box Girder by Pu Gao, Kuan Li, Yuanxun Zheng

“…The results showed that the fatigue resistance performance of concrete slab with low reinforcement ratio was much lower than that of concrete slab with high reinforcement ratio whereas, under the fatigue load, the stress of the welding nail in the negative moment region was small and the slip was almost negligible. The degradation of stiffness and the development of cracks were mainly due to the degradation of bond-slip between the concrete and reinforcement. …”

Production of mortar with calcined alum sludge as partial cement replacement by Wong Ai Wei, Chew Hoong Yuin, Bashir Mohammed J. K., Aldahdooh Majed A. A., Ng Choon Aun

“…Although replacing 5 % of cement with calcined alum sludge would reduce the mechanical strengths by 13 – 15 %, it was still acceptable as it had negligible influence on the porosity and water absorption value of the mortar. …”
