Flux Fractionalization Transition in Anisotropic S=1 Antiferromagnets and Dimer-Loop Models by Souvik Kundu, Kedar Damle

“…The fully packed O(1) loop model (w=0) and the fully packed dimer model (w=∞) limits of this dimer-loop model are found to be separated by a phase transition at a finite and nonzero critical fugacity w_{c}, with interesting consequences for the spin correlations of the frustrated magnet. …”

Numerical and Experimental Studies of Cavitation Behavior in Water-Jet Cavitation Peening Processing by H. Zhang, B. Han, X.G. Yu, D.Y. Ju

“…The cavitation behavior in this process involves complex and changeable physics phenomena, such as high speed, high pressure, multiple phases, phase transition, turbulence, and unstable features. Thus, the cavitation behavior and impact-pressure distribution in WCP have always been key problems in this field. …”

Sesquiterpene Lactones as Promising Anti-Glioblastoma Drug Candidates Exerting Complex Effects on Glioblastoma Cell Viability and Proneural–Mesenchymal Transition by Andrey V. Markov, Arseny D. Moralev, Kirill V. Odarenko

“…An analysis of published data clearly demonstrated that STLs, which can successfully cross the blood–brain barrier, exert a complex inhibitory effect on glioblastoma cells through the induction of the “mitochondrial dysfunction–oxidative stress–apoptosis” axis, the inhibition of glucose metabolism and cell cycle phase transition, and the suppression of glioblastoma cell motility and invasion through the blockade of proneural–mesenchymal transition. …”

Modelling of Transient CO2/Water Flow in Wellbore considering Multiple Mass and Heat Transfer by Xinxin Zhao, Xiangzhen Yan, Xiaohui Sun, Qing Zhao, Hongwei Jiang, Yonghai Gao, Guang Yang

“…The results indicate that the CO2 solubility increases gradually with the increment of depth, the trend of which shows an abrupt change in 500-1000 m due to the phase transition of CO2. During kick development, the fronts of free gas and dissolved gas increase almost linearly with time. …”

A Local–Transit Percolation and Clustering-Based Method for Highway Segment Importance Ranking by Huizhe Lyu, Yang Li, Chenxu Liu, Zhonghao Li, Lin Xu, Wei Wang, Jun Chen

“…Subsequently, a local–transit percolation model is constructed to generate an initial ranking of segments based on the size of the second-largest clusters during the percolation phase transition. A secondary ranking is performed by refining the results from the clustering phase. …”

Evaluation of Antimony Tri-Iodide Crystals for Radiation Detectors by Toshiyuki Onodera, Koei Baba, Keitaro Hitomi

“…In addition, crystalline SbI3 is easy to grow by conventional crystal growth techniques from melting phase because the material exhibits a low melting point (171°C) and undergoes no phase transition in the range of its solid phase. In this study, SbI3 crystals were grown by the Bridgman method after synthesis of SbI3 from 99.9999% pure Sb and 99.999% pure I2. …”

Influence of Al2O3 Content on the Melting and Fluidity of Blast Furnace Type Slag with Low TiO2 Content by Hao Liu, Yuelin Qin, Yanhua Yang, Qianying Zhang, Nengyun Deng

“…This work uses slag sampled on site to study the effects of changes in Al2O3 content on the fluidity of the CaO–SiO2–Al2O3–MgO–TiO2 slag system that is characterized by high Al2O3 and low TiO2 contents, as well as on the phase transition law during the cooling process. Slag viscosity exhibits a rising trend with an increase in Al2O3 content, and Al2O3 in the tested slag is alkaline. …”

Pressure-controlled luminescence in fast-response barium fluoride crystals by Marilou Cadatal-Raduban, Luong Viet Mui, Masahiro Yamashita, Yuki Shibazaki, Toshihiko Shimizu, Nobuhiko Sarukura, Kohei Yamanoi

“…Increasing the pressure decreases the core-valence bandgap due to the downward expansion of the valence band, resulting in a decrease in the valence band minimum. The onset of a phase transition from a cubic crystal structure to an orthorhombic crystal structure at 3.7 GPa inhibited the recombination of conduction band electrons and self-trapped holes, leading to the disappearance of the STE emission. …”
