A simplified approach to directly consider intact rock anisotropy in Hoek–Brown failure criterion

Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2014
Many rock types have naturally occurring inherent anisotropic planes, such as bedding planes, foliation, or flow structures. Such characteristic induces directional features and anisotropy in rocks' strength and deformational properties.

A degree-scale measurement of anisotropy of the cosmic background radiation

The Astrophysical Journal, 1992
We report on the preliminary result of a search for anisotropy in the cosmic background radiation (CBR) with a beam size of about 1.5 deg FWHM over a wavelength range of 8-12 mm. The system operated successfully for 500 hr at the South Pole during the 1990-1991 austral summer.

Synchrotron Radiation for Quantum Technology

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Materials and interfaces underpin quantum technologies, with synchrotron and FEL methods key to understanding and optimizing them. Advances span superconducting and semiconducting qubits, 2D materials, and topological systems, where strain, defects, and interfaces govern performance.

Evaluation of spatial variability characteristics based on anisotropic modes of random fields

Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
This paper introduces a framework for modeling random fields, with a particular emphasis on analyzing anisotropic spatial variability. It establishes a clear connection between the correlation function and the Kriging variogram across various anisotropic

Effects of varying degrees of surface strain anisotropies on endothelial cells

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2016
Introduction: Cyclic strain is well known to affect cell behavior. It is also known that isotropic and anisotropic strain can affect cells differently[1]. While in-vivo cells experience varying degrees of anisotropy (d.o.a.), in-vitro anisotropic strain studies have mostly focused on uniaxial strains.

Fractional Skyrmion Tubes in Chiral‐Interfaced 3D Magnetic Nanowires

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In chiral 3D helical magnetic nanowires, the coupling between the geometric and magnetic chirality provides a way to create topological spin states like vortex tubes. Here, it is demonstrated how the breaking of this coupling in interfaced 3D nanowires of opposite chirality leads to even more complex topological spin states, such as fractional ...

Anisotropic inflation in Brans–Dicke gravity

Nuclear Physics B, 2017
We study anisotropic inflation in the Brans–Dicke gravity in the presence of an abelian gauge field where the gauge field is non-minimally coupled to the inflaton.

Static and Dynamic Brazilian Tests on Layered Slate considering the Bedding Directivity

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2020
A layered rock usually exhibits strong anisotropy due to its layered structure. In order to study the anisotropic effect on its static and dynamic tensile properties, a medium strength anisotropy slate is chosen and tested in five groups of bedding plane

Anisotropy of photon production: Initial eccentricity or magnetic field

, 2013
Recent measurements of the azimuthal anisotropy of direct photons in heavy-ion collisions at the energies of RHIC show that it is of the same order as the hadronic one. This finding appears to contradict the expected dominance of photon production from a

Light‐Controlled Reversible Coassembly of Hybrid Functional Nanostructures

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Light‐responsive hybrid nanostructures are formed by coassembling azobenzene‐ and PAH‐functionalized nanoparticles through reversible an tunable π interactions. The system enables tunable coupling between distinct components such as gold and magnetite or carbon nanotubes, producing switchable optical and magnetic properties under light and magnetic ...
