A Broadband Graphene Based Multi-Functional mid-THz Polarization Converter by Vinit Singh Yadav, Amalendu Patnaik

“…The novelty of the proposed reflector lies in the fact that a linear&#x2013;to&#x2013;linear (LL) polarization conversion takes place for a chemical potential in 0.3&#x2013;0.6 eV and a linear&#x2013;to&#x2013;circular (LC) in 0.7&#x2013;1.0 eV across the mono&#x2013;layered graphene over a large oblique angle (<inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\approx$</tex-math></inline-formula> 40<inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$^{\circ }$</tex-math></inline-formula>) of the incident wave. …”

SW $$ \mathcal{SW} $$ -algebras and strings with torsion by Xenia de la Ossa, Mateo Galdeano, Enrico Marchetto

“…In particular, we focus on manifolds featuring Spin(7), G2, SU(2), and SU(3)-structures. We compare the full quantum algebras with their classical limits, obtained by studying the commutators of superconformal and W $$ \mathcal{W} $$ -symmetry transformations — which preserve the action of the (1, 0) non-linear σ-model. …”

Compactification on Calabi-Yau threefolds: consistent truncation to pure supergravity by Jieming Lin, Torben Skrzypek, K. S. Stelle

“…We furthermore match the supersymmetry transformations and demonstrate the consistency to full non-linear order in fermions. Our construction is independent of the choice of Calabi-Yau threefold and only involves the universal structures such as the Kähler form and the holomorphic three-form, in agreement with implicit constructions in the generalised geometry literature. …”

Estimating the body size of orchid bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Euglossini) using the distance between their tegulae by Yostin AÑINO, Julio TRUJILLO, Abraham DE SEDAS, Alonso SANTOS, Anette GARRIDO, Dumas GÁLVEZ

“…In the past, estimates of body mass were often based on general mathematical equations in which body mass was related to linear measurements of anatomical structures. For example, in female bees, estimates of dry body mass are expected to follow a non-linear relationship (power function) with the distance between the tegulae on their thorax, also known as the intertegular distance (ITD). …”

FATIGUE LIFE AND RELIABILITY ANALYSIS OF CYCLOIDAL GEARS BASED ON WorkBench AND nCode

“…As one of the core parts of RV reducer,the fatigue life of cycloidal gears has an important impact on the life of the whole reducer.WorkBench finite element analysis was used to determine the contact stress state and structural weak points of the cycloid gear.On this basis,the mathematical model of contact fatigue life of cycloidal gears was established by Miner linear damage accumulation theory and S-N curve correction theory,and then nCode Designlife,a fatigue life analysis software,was used to analyze the contact fatigue life of cycloidal gears with the maximum contact stress,and the result was 7.6%different from the design life of cycloidal gears under the same load condition.The maximum point of contact fatigue damage of the cycloidal gear was determined.Finally,the reliability of the cycloidal gear was determined based on the contact fatigue life analysis data,which provides a reference for the structural optimization design and reliability analysis of the cycloidal gear.…”
