Influence of Boundary Conditions on the Simulation of a Diamond-Type Lattice Structure: A Preliminary Study by Patrick Terriault, Vladimir Brailovski

“…Because these structures comprise a large number of ordered unit cells, their design using conventional modeling approaches, such as finite elements, becomes a real challenge. A homogenization technique, in which the lattice structure is simulated as a fully dense volume having equivalent material properties, can then be employed. …”

Two‐Step Design Rule for Simultaneously High Conductivity and Seebeck Coefficient in Conjugated Polymer‐Based Thermoelectrics by Zelong Li, Wei Fu, Dorothea Scheunemann, Xiaoran Wei, Maximilian Litterst, Priya Mariam Viji, Yong Cui, Jianhui Hou, Junhui Tang, Ziqi Liang, Zehua Qu, Martijn Kemerink, Ruiqian Guo, Guangzheng Zuo

“…The second step, which is fluorination of the backbone, improves the Seebeck coefficient by the controlled induction of energetic disorder, stemming from the fluorine's disruption of the homogeneous electrostatic potential across the CP backbone. …”

High order expression dependencies finely resolve cryptic states and subtypes in single cell data by Abel Jansma, Yuelin Yao, Jareth Wolfe, Luigi Del Debbio, Sjoerd V Beentjes, Chris P Ponting, Ava Khamseh

“…Rather than only coarse-scale labels of cell type, Stator further resolves cell types into subtypes, and these subtypes into stages of maturity and/or cell cycle phases, and yet further into portions of these phases. Among cryptically homogeneous embryonic cells, for example, Stator finds 34 distinct radial glia states whose gene expression forecasts their future GABAergic or glutamatergic neuronal fate. …”

Magnetic Behavior of Sintered NdFeB Magnets on a Long-Term Timescale by Minna Haavisto, Sampo Tuominen, Timo Santa-Nokki, Harri Kankaanpää, Martti Paju, Pekka Ruuskanen

“…In open-circuit tests, the opposing field is not homogeneously distributed throughout the volume of the magnet and thus the long-term behavior is different than that in closed-circuit conditions. …”

Snowfall in the Northwest Iberian Peninsula: Synoptic Circulation Patterns and Their Influence on Snow Day Trends by Andrés Merino, Sergio Fernández, Lucía Hermida, Laura López, José Luis Sánchez, Eduardo García-Ortega, Estíbaliz Gascón

“…We used principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster techniques to define four synoptic patterns conducive to snowfall in the region. Once we confirmed homogeneity of the series and serial correlation of the snowfallday records at the stations from 1960 to 2011, we carried out a Mann-Kendall test. …”
