Mathematical simulation of the processes of two-beam laser controlled thermal-splitting of quartz glass by V. A. Emelyanov, E. B. Shershnev, S. I. Sokolov, A. N. Kupo

“…The simulation results show that with a bi-beam effect, the micromechanical stresses necessary for the formation of a microcrack are realized in shorter time intervals, both on the surface and in the depth of the material, which allows increasing the processing speed by up to 30 %. Strengthening control over the process of controlled thermal cracking can significantly reduce the percentage of defects and improve the quality of the resulting microeletronics products.…”

An analysis of road accidents caused by the current road infrastructure in Romania by Gheorghe Neamțu, Marinela Ință

“…The existing road infrastructure in our country is built and developed on the basis of roads built in the 1950s and 1960s, largely modernised, but still insufficient in terms of high speed roads. Specialists in the field consider that average traffic speeds on the existing road infrastructure at that time are largely influenced by a number of factors that are exclusively related to it. …”

Location- and feature-based selection histories make independent, qualitatively distinct contributions to urgent visuomotor performance by Emily E Oor, Emilio Salinas, Terrence R Stanford

“…Attention mechanisms guide visuomotor behavior by weighing physical salience and internal goals to prioritize stimuli as choices for action. Although less well studied, selection history, which reflects multiple facets of experience with recent events, is increasingly recognized as a distinct source of attentional bias. …”
