Design, Manufacture and Characterization of an Acoustic Barrier Made of Multi-Phenomena Cylindrical Scatterers Arranged in a Fractal-Based Geometry by Sergio CASTINEIRA-IBANEZ, Constanza RUBIO, Vicent ROMERO- GARCIA, Juan Vicente SANCHEZ-PEREZ, Luıs Miguel GARCIA-RAFFI

“…In order to design the acoustic barrier, two strategies have been used: First, the arrangement of scatterers is based on fractal geometries to maximize the Bragg scattering; second, multi-phenomena scatterers with several noise con- trol mechanisms, as resonances or absorption, are designed and used to construct the periodic array. …”

Synergistic sonothrombolysis based on coaxial confocal dual-frequency focused ultrasound and vortex beams by Tinghui Meng, Zelin Sheng, Tingzhen Feng, Gepu Guo, Qingyu Ma

“…Nevertheless, when employing FAV-assisted FU thrombolysis with two focused transducers positioned orthogonally, the FAV’s trapping force is reduced due to the co-directional acoustic radiation force (ARF) from the FU. We have devised a synergistic sonothrombolysis strategy that utilizes coaxial confocal dual-frequency FU and FAV beams, implemented through a focused sector array. …”

Magnetic Fields in Massive Star-forming Regions (MagMaR). V. The Magnetic Field at the Onset of High-mass Star Formation by Patricio Sanhueza, Junhao Liu, Kaho Morii, Josep Miquel Girart, Qizhou Zhang, Ian W. Stephens, James M. Jackson, Paulo C. Cortés, Patrick M. Koch, Claudia J. Cyganowski, Piyali Saha, Henrik Beuther, Suinan Zhang, Maria T. Beltrán, Yu Cheng, Fernando A.

Zapata, Eun Jung Chung, Fumitaka Nakamura, Sandhyarani Panigrahy, Takeshi Sakai

“…Considering energy ratios and a fragmentation criterion at the core scale, the binary system could have been formed by core fragmentation. The binary system properties (projected separation and mass ratio), however, are also consistent with radiation-magnetohydrodynamic simulations with super-Alfvenic or supersonic (or sonic) turbulence that form binaries by disk fragmentation.…”
