Anharmonic effects control interaction of carbyne confined in carbon nanotubes shaping their vibrational properties by Emil Parth, Andrea Corradini, Weili Cui, Davide Romanin, Christin Schuster, Clara Freytag, Lei Shi, Kazuhiro Yanagi, Matteo Calandra, Thomas Pichler

“…The resonant Raman fingerprint of confined carbyne comes concomitant with several new features which can neither be assigned to the hosting tube, nor to the linear carbon chain. This identifies the tube-chain system as a true hybrid structure in which the spectrum is usually driven by modifications in the electronic excitations via charge transfer. …”

Potential of Nonlinear Ultrasonic Indicators for Nondestructive Testing of Concrete by C. Payan, V. Garnier, J. Moysan

“…In a second part, we demonstrate the high sensitivity of nonlinear parameters to thermal damage as regard with linear ones. Then, the influence of water content and porosity on these indicators is quantified allowing to uncouple the effect of damage from environmental or structural parameters.…”

Seismic performance of multistory frames with novel self-centering friction SMA dampers by Weihong Li, Zhaoqun Chang, Meng Han, Jinyuan Li, Qinkai Jin, Boquan Liu

“…Abstract Owing to their advantageous properties of super-elasticity and shape memory effect, shape memory alloys (SMAs) can dissipate seismic energy and minimize post-earthquake structural damage. In this study, an improved SMA multi-linear constitutive model is proposed first, and a new material model based on OpenSees platform is developed. …”

Increase trajectories of tendon micro vibration intensity during ankle plantar flexion: A longitudinal data analysis using latent curve models. by Tatsuhiko Matsumoto, Yutaka Kano

“…We used latent curve models (LCM) to identify this structure. By applying various LCMs to explore an optimal model, we found that the quadratic LCM received the best fit for females, while the piecewise linear LCM with a breakpoint at 50% exerted muscle strength received the best fit for males. …”

Machine Learning Approach to Characterize Ferromagnetic La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 Thin Films via Featurization of Surface Morphology by Sanghyeok Ryou, Jihyun Lim, Minwoo Jang, Kitae Eom, Sunwoo Lee, Hyungwoo Lee

“…These properties are known to arise from Mn‐O‐Mn double‐exchange interactions, which are directly related to microscopic lattice structures. However, since the microscopic structure in LSMO is highly sensitive to various material parameters, such as thickness, lattice strain, oxygen deficiency, and cation stoichiometry, understanding the intricate relationship between the microscopic structures and the resulting physical properties of LSMO remains challenging. …”

La Competencia Comunicativa Como Potenciador Del Aprendizaje Matemático En Un Ambiente De Aula Invertida by Angela Goretti Perdomo Mosquera, Gerardo Antonio Chacón Guerrero

“…To collect meaningful data, three learning guides containing a total of 23 problems, both exploratory and in-depth, were used, along with semi-structured interviews. The data analysis process involved three phases of coding and analysis, employing the constant comparison method, which ultimately led to sampling and theoretical saturation. …”
