Experimental Study on Characteristics of Seismic Damage and Damping Technology of Absorbing Joint of Tunnel Crossing Interface of Soft and Hard Rock by Dao-yuan Wang, Jin-xiu Yuan, Guang-yao Cui, Jia Liu, Hong-fan Wang

“…The following findings can be drawn. (1) The seismic damage of tunnel is mainly affected by stratum inertial force under the homogeneous stratum of soft rock. The seismic damage of tunnel is mainly caused by the forced displacement (the displacement difference between the two sides of interface of soft and hard rock), followed by stratum inertial force under the geological condition of interface between soft and hard rock. (2) The conventional type of absorbing joint (only the second lining is set with absorbing joint) is used in tunnel lining structure, and the damping ratios of principal tensile stress, bending moment, and axial force of lining are above 47.5%, 40.7%, and 72.7%, respectively. …”

Achieving high strength-ductility synergy in Mg-6Sn-3Zn-0.3Zr (wt.%) alloy via a combination of casting, pre-treatment and hot extrusion by Tianshui Zhou, Yaqin Li, Feifei Guo, Qinglin Li, Zhi Jia, Dexue Liu

“…Moreover, the results suggest that the combination of pre-treatment and hot extrusion not only promotes multiplication of geometrically-necessary dislocations (GNDs) but enhances dynamic precipitation, which boosts the formation of fine and homogenous precipitates. Based on the results of X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED), the precipitates are Mg2Sn phases. …”

Characterization of Congolese Woody Biomass and Its Potential as a Bioenergy Source by Maryse D. Nkoua Ngavouka, Tania S. Mayala, Dick H. Douma, Aaron E. Brown, James M. Hammerton, Andrew B. Ross, Gilbert Nsongola, Bernard M’Passi-Mabiala, Jon C. Lovett

“…Minimal statistical analysis of wood biomass showed that parameters such as volatile matter (VM), carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and calculated HHV have low variability, suggesting the biomass is relatively homogeneous. However, moisture and nitrogen showed significant standard deviations, indicating variability in storage conditions or sample nature. …”

The Hubble Tension in Our Own Backyard: DESI and the Nearness of the Coma Cluster by Daniel Scolnic, Adam G. Riess, Yukei S. Murakami, Erik R. Peterson, Dillon Brout, Maria Acevedo, Bastien Carreres, David O. Jones, Khaled Said, Cullan Howlett, Gagandeep S. Anand

“…The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) collaboration measured a tight relation between the Hubble constant ( H _0 ) and the distance to the Coma cluster using the fundamental plane (FP) relation of the deepest, most homogeneous sample of early-type galaxies. To determine H _0 , we measure the distance to Coma by several independent routes, each with its own geometric reference. …”

O multiculturalismo e as divergências teóricas no debate multicultural by Willian Martini

“…There are many groups trying to maintain their values and practices within a global reality in which peoples’ actions and thoughts are homogenized. From this perspective, we intend here to analyze the differences that arise from the varieties of "multiculturalisms", trying to offer an explanation in relation to issues that are relevant to each type of multiculturalism. …”

High-Performance Hydrogen Sensing at Room Temperature via Nb-Doped Titanium Oxide Thin Films Fabricated by Micro-Arc Oxidation by Chilou Zhou, Zhiqiu Ye, Yue Tan, Zhenghua Wu, Xinyi Guo, Yinglin Bai, Xuying Xie, Zilong Wu, Ji’an Feng, Yao Xu, Bo Deng, Hao Wu

“…The characterization results revealed that the incorporation of Nb₂O₅ altered the film’s morphology and phase composition, increasing the Nb content and forming a homogeneous composite thin film. Hydrogen sensing tests demonstrated that the NTO samples exhibited significantly improved sensitivity, selectivity, and stability compared to undoped TiO₂. …”
