Skowronek, Adam (author), Grajcar, Adam (author), Petrov, R.H. (author)Depending on the alloy composition, intercritical annealing may provide different phases in the microstructure. For low-alloyed dual-phase (DP) steels it is usually ferrite and martensite, while for medium-Mn steels retained austenite is also formed. In a present study, a wide intercritical temperature range was applied to a 5% Mn steel to...journal article 2024

(author), Ortiz, G. (author), Pynn, R. (author)We describe an experiment that strongly supports a two-path interferometric model in which the spin-up and spin-down components of each neutron propagate coherently along spatially separated parallel paths in a typical neutron spin-echo small-angle scattering (SESANS) experiment. Specifically, we show that the usual semi-classical, single...journal article 2024

Gorbar, E. V. (author), Gusynin, V. P. (author), Oriekhov, D. (author), Shklovskii, B. I. (author)In gapped bilayer graphene, similarly to conventional semiconductors, Coulomb impurities (such as nitrogen donors) may determine the activation energy of its conductivity and provide low-temperature hopping conductivity. However, in spite of the importance of Coulomb impurities, nothing is known about their electron binding energy Eb in the...journal article 2024

(author), Endeman, Henrik (author), Gommers, Diederik (author)Background: Prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation is associated with poor clinical outcome. Therefore, choosing the right moment for weaning and extubation is essential. Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a promising innovative lung monitoring technique, but its role in supporting weaning decisions is yet uncertain. We aimed to...journal article 2024

(author), Durmus, Yasin Emre (author), Basak, Shibabrata (author)High energy density electrochemical systems such as metal batteries suffer from uncontrollable dendrite growth on cycling, which can severely compromise battery safety and longevity. This originates from the thermodynamic preference of metal nucleation on electrode surfaces, where obtaining the crucial information on metal deposits in terms...journal article 2024

Papaioannou, G. (author), Maroof, Vallan (author), Jerrelind, Jenny (author), Drugge, Lars (author)Effective emission control technologies and eco-friendly propulsion systems have been developed to decrease exhaust particle emissions. However, more work must be conducted on non-exhaust traffic-related sources such as tyre wear. The advent of automated vehicles (AVs) enables researchers and automotive manufacturers to consider ways to further...journal article 2024

(author)Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) in the form of postoperative deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) after cardiac surgery is a rare, but potentially fatal, complication. In addressing this, the focus is on preventive measures, as most risk factors for SSI are not controllable. Therefore, operating rooms are equipped with heating,...journal article 2024

Oval, R. (author), Mesnil, Romain (author), van Mele, Tom (author), Baverel, Olivier (author), Block, Philippe (author)Several structural systems rely on a specific hierarchy between their constitutive elements, which results in topological constraints on the feasible patterns that can describe them. Folded, corrugated, or creased surface structures require this bipartition, also called two-colouring, between independent wavy and smooth directions. Finding a...journal article 2024

(author), Zhu, Dingkun (author), Chen, Honghua (author), Wang, Weiming (author), Wei, Mingqiang (author)The conventional wisdom in point cloud analysis predominantly explores 3D geometries. It is often achieved through the introduction of intricate learnable geometric extractors in the encoder or by deepening networks with repeated blocks. However, these methods contain a significant number of learnable parameters, resulting in substantial...journal article 2024
