The accurate determination of Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) removal efficiency by integrated-sonochemical system by Debabrata Panda, Maxime Cochennec, Stéfan Colombano, Benjamin Laulier, Pascal Tierce, Alexandre Baudouard, Sebastian Bristeau, Anne Togola, Julie Lions, Nicolas Devau, Eric D. van Hullebusch

“…However, experiments at low frequency (22 kHz) showed negligible removal efficiency. The specific energy requirement for reaching 90 % removal while considering the power consumed by the ultrasonic system from the main electrical source was determined to be 700 kWh/m3, which is much lower than other reported work under similar conditions. …”

An efficient decoupled 3-D axial anisotropic resistivity inversion for magnetotelluric data with OpenMP parallelization by Wisart Thongyoy, Weerachai Siripunvaraporn, Puwis Amatayakul, Tawat Rung-Arunwan, Kiyoshi Baba

“…Based on our prior influence studies, we identified contrasting influence patterns: $${\rho }_{xx}$$ ρ xx has a strong influence on Z xy and Z yy , whereas $${\rho }_{yy}$$ ρ yy has a strong influence on Z yx and Z xx , while $${\rho }_{zz}$$ ρ zz has negligible impact on all responses. We, therefore, proposed a decoupled axial inversion. …”

Significance of Tool Coating Properties and Compacted Graphite Iron Microstructure for Tool Selection in Extreme Machining by Anna Maria Esposito, Qianxi He, Jose M. DePaiva, Stephen C. Veldhuis

“…The results revealed that CGI microstructural variations only affected tool life for Tool A, with a 110% increase in tool life between machining CGI Grade B and Grade A, but that the effects were negligible for all other tools. Tool C had a 250% and 70% longer tool life compared to the next best performance (Tool A) for CGI Grade A and CGI Grade B, respectively. …”

Genetic parameters and parental and early-life effects of boar semen traits by Pedro Sá, Rodrigo M. Godinho, Marta Gòdia, Claudia A. Sevillano, Barbara Harlizius, Ole Madsen, Henk Bovenhuis

“…Mitochondrial DNA and the Y chromosome did not explain a discerning proportion of the phenotypic variance and the effect of the paternal environment was also negligible. We estimated a significant maternal environment effect predominantly on sperm motility traits, explaining between 2.3 and 4.6% of the phenotypic variance. …”

Optimizing the Morphology and Optical Properties of MoS₂ Using Different Substrate Placement: Numerical Simulation and Experimental Verification by Feng Liao, Yuhan Zeng, Qingqing Xie, Yupeng Yang, Shuangyi Linghu, Li Liang, Zewen Zuo

“…Comparing the precursor concentration distributions on both substrates, it is observed that the S molar concentration gradient on both substrates is negligible and the uniform Mo molar concentrations from z = −1.4 cm to 2.0 cm on the VP substrate ensure minimal change in the S/Mo ratio, which contributes to forming single-morphology domains. …”

The role of sport in research and development in Switzerland - An overview by Hippolyt Kempf, Gübeli Cornell, Christelle Ganné-Chedeville, Solange Emmenegger

“…The federal government and the cantons will contribute 21.5% in 2021 and finance research at universities with CHF 5.6 billion (see Körsgen et al., 2023). Sport is negligible in these statistics. This is at odds with the pressure to innovate in competitive sport and the economic and social importance of sport. …”

Renaissance Man, Man of his Times: Norman Mailer’s "The White Negro" and Literary Manhood in 1950s America by Matthew Kriz

“…L’article avance ensuite l’argument que ces deux points de vue critiques sont pertinents, mais que leur faiblesse vient de ce qu’ils négligent d’étudier. Cet article suggère qu’une lecture mesurée de l’essai peut être faite en l’examinant à la fois à partir de la place qu’il occupe dans la tradition littéraire américaine (et de la manière dont Mailer la perçoit), tradition considérant l’auteur comme un génie (mâle) persécuté et éprouvant le besoin d’échapper aux contraintes d’une société (féminisante), et en même temps comme la réflexion de quelqu’un qui est préoccupé par les questions des années 50 : conformité, culture de masse et problèmes raciaux. …”
