Data-Driven Approach to Dual Service Failure Monitoring From Negative Online Reviews: Managerial Perspective

Monitoring of dual service failures (e.g., trends in service failures and consecutive service failures) in business is emphasized for service quality management. Previous studies analyzing negative online reviews to conduct dual service failure monitoring from a managerial perspective are scarce. Numerous negative online reviews are useful...

Self-healing capacity of Mullite-Yb₂SiO₅ environmental barrier coating material with embedded Ti₂AlC MAX phase particles

Repetitive heating and cooling cycles inevitably cause crack damage of hot gas components of gas turbine engines, such as blades and vanes. In this study the self-healing capacity is investigated of mullite + ytterbium monosilicate (Yb₂SiO₅) as EBC material with Ti₂AlC MAX phase particles embedded as a crack...

Tetrameric architecture of an active phenol-bound form of the AAA⁺ transcriptional regulator DmpR

The Pseudomonas putida phenol-responsive regulator DmpR is a bacterial enhancer binding protein (bEBP) from the AAA⁺ ATPase family. Even though it was discovered more than two decades ago and has been widely used for aromatic hydrocarbon sensing, the activation mechanism of DmpR has remained elusive. Here, we show that phenol-bound...

Interplay between real and pseudomagnetic field in graphene with strain

We investigate electric and magnetic properties of graphene with rotationally symmetric strain. The strain generates a large pseudomagnetic field with alternating sign in space, which forms a strongly confined quantum dot connected to six chiral channels. The orbital magnetism, degeneracy, and channel opening can be understood from the interplay...

Near field imaging of terahertz focusing onto rectangular apertures

We performed terahertz near-field experiments on single rectangular holes with various lengths grown on an electro-optic crystal substrate with ?/100 resolution. We find that the near-field amplitude becomes proportionally larger as the rectangle becomes narrower, strongly suggesting that a constant energy passes through even for a very narrow...
