Dynamics of phase separation from holography by Maximilian Attems, Yago Bea, Jorge Casalderrey-Solana, David Mateos, Miguel Zilhão

“…We numerically solve Einstein’s equations to follow the evolution, in which we identify four generic stages: a first, linear stage in which the instability grows exponentially; a second, non-linear stage in which peaks and/or phase domains are formed; a third stage in which these structures merge; and a fourth stage in which the system finally relaxes to a static, phase-separated configuration. …”

Influence of shrinkage on the dynamic properties of a cross-laminated timber panel by Thomas Furtmüller, Marco Kendlbacher, Fabian Huber

“…In a simplified analytic model of the plate the occurrence of the observed nonlinear disturbances is explained qualitatively by harmonic frequency generation of a single-degree-of-freedom oscillator with piecewise linear spring stiffness. The study highlights the complexity of the material behavior of CLT panels even for simple geometries without boundary effects and the potentially grave effect of drying shrinkage on the vibration characteristics of these structures.…”

Dosimetric relevance of mean heart dose in predicting exposure to cardiac substructures in radiotherapy for breast cancer: A prospective observational study by Tapas K Dash, Lucy Pattanayak, Deepak K Sahu, Abani K Nanda, Tapan K Sahoo

“…In patients with left-sided carcinoma, MHD correlated most strongly with the LAD (r = 0.606, P = 0.001), while in patients with right-sided carcinoma, the most notable correlation was found for the left atrium (r = 0.686, P, 0.001). Other structures had weak correlations. Conclusion: To effectively study radiation induced cardiotoxicity, MHD alone would not suffice, and dose to each cardiac substructure may be necessary.…”
