Damage due to ice crystallization by Menno Demmenie, Paul Kolpakov, Boaz van Casteren, Dirk Bakker, Daniel Bonn, Noushine Shahidzadeh

“…The pressure can be understood quantitatively based on thermodynamics which correctly predicts that the crystallization pressure on the inclusion boundary is independent of the volume of the liquid pocket. Finally, our results also reveal that by changing the wetting properties of the confining walls, the formation of the liquid pockets that cause the mechanical damage can be avoided.…”

Pérégrinations et pérégrinismes dans le roman britannique du xixe siècle : Casuistique du détour par la langue étrangère by Jacqueline Fromonot

“…This paper is a study of the role of peregrinism in Victorian novels, through examples taken from great classics, novels by Dickens, Thackeray, Eliot and Trollope. It will appear that the use of xenism in fiction is related to the quest of truth and truthfulness—in accordance with the Realist project. …”

A Machine Learning System for Routing Decision-Making in Urban Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks by Wei Kuang Lai, Mei-Tso Lin, Yu-Hsuan Yang

“…When establishing routing paths, most research focuses on detecting traffic and selecting roads with higher vehicle densities in order to transmit packets, thus avoiding carry-and-forward scenarios and decreasing transmission delays; however, such approaches may not obtain accurate real-time traffic densities by periodically monitoring each road because vehicle densities change so rapidly. …”

Analytical model and simulation‐based analysis of a work function engineered triple metal tunnel field‐effect transistor device showing excellent device performance by Ria Bose, Jatindra Nath Roy

“…A simulation‐based study of these TFET devices has been carried out with the help of 2D TCAD (Technology Computer Aided Design) Sentaurus device simulator for different channel length values in order to validate our proposed mathematical model. The source side n + pocket in the proposed triple metal (TM) TFET device enhances tunnelling probability thus increasing on current and off current is controlled by another n‐pocket near drain side. …”
