Lattice Instability in High Temperature Superconducting Cuprates and FeAs Systems: Polarons Probed by EXAFS by H. Oyanagi, C. J. Zhang

“…Carrier-induced lattice distortion (signature of polaron) in oxypnictide superconductors is found by an instantaneous local probe, extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS). Polaron formation is detected as two distinct nearest neighbor distances (Fe-As), implying an incoherent local mode that develops coherence at the critical temperature. …”

Testing and numerical simulation of mechanical behavior of drilled coal samples under uniaxial compression by Zhenhua JIAO, Zhihui NI, Hao HU, Liwen YANG, Rui LI, Jiabao MA

“…During the loading process, the hole-containing coal samples showed a sudden drop in stress before the peak stress, which was more obvious in the numerical simulation, indicating that the presence of the drill holes damaged the original structure of the coal samples and weakened their bearing capacity. …”

Les groupes binominaux de type N2’s N1, N1 of N2 et N2N1 by Evelyne Chabert

“…It rejects the existence of a semantic invariant, and proposes that it is the function of N2 – either determinative or modifying – that triggers the speaker’s preference for one structure over the other two. It also ventures the hypothesis that compounds are gaining ground over genitive NPs, a process in line with the diachronic evolution that has gradually turned English into an analytic language.…”
