Evaluation of Meshed Reference Planes for High Performance Applications by N. D. Codreanu, P. Svasta, V. Golumbeanu, L. Gál

“…The actual generations of integrated circuits are characterized, inter alia, by very high frequencies or very high speeds. The dramatic evolution ofthe semiconductor's technology establishes a greater “pressure” to the design and the manufacturing of the passive interconnection structure from PCB/MCM electronic modules. …”

Probabilistic genotype-phenotype maps reveal mutational robustness of RNA folding, spin glasses, and quantum circuits by Anna Sappington, Vaibhav Mohanty

“…Recent studies of genotype-phenotype maps have reported universally enhanced phenotypic robustness to genotype mutations, a feature essential to evolution. Virtually all of these studies make a simplifying assumption that each genotype—represented as a sequence—maps deterministically to a single phenotype, such as a discrete structure. …”

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. …”

Formation of Nanoporous Tin Oxide Layers on Different Substrates during Anodic Oxidation in Oxalic Acid Electrolyte by Leszek Zaraska, Michał Bobruk, Grzegorz D. Sulka

“…In general, amorphous oxide layers with the atomic ratio of Sn : O (1 : 1) were grown during anodization, and a typical structure of the as-obtained film consists of the “outer” layer with less regular, interconnetted pores and the “inner” layer with much more uniform and regular channels formed as a result of vigorous gas evolution. …”

La Secreción Cutánea, Instrumento Sistemático La Secreción Cutánea, Instrumento Sistemático by Low Bobbie S.

“…An important conclusion is the participation of 5-hydroxitryptamine<br />in almost all Bufo species cutaneous secretion more concentrated when the species is more primitive; chemical affinities are represented by polygonal graphs; high affinity indexes seem to suggest us remote dispersions in early<br />evolution stages; these affinities are more common between African and Tropical American Species, whereas Middle East and African Bufonidae show a low toxic affinity; Asian Bufonidae are not much analogous in cutaneous secretion composition with New World and African specimens. …”

Effects of Latent Heat Release from Single-Moment and Double-Moment Microphysical Schemes on the Simulated Intensity of Typhoon Songda by Wenfeng Xie, Xiaodian Shen, Baolin Jiang, Wenshi Lin, Yang Liu, Gang Wang

“…Single- and double-moment 6-class (WSM6 and WDM6) cloud microphysics schemes were used to simulate the 3D structure and evolution of latent heat release. Simulations show that condensation of cloud water is the main source of latent heat release, while the main sources of latent heat absorption are evaporation of rain and cloud water. …”
