Low-Mass Eclipsing Binaries in the Initial Kepler Data Release [PDF]
We identify 231 objects in the newly released Cycle 0 dataset from the Kepler Mission as double-eclipse, detached eclipsing binary systems with Teff < 5500 K and orbital periods shorter than ~32 days. We model each light curve using the JKTEBOP code with

A new TPE-based foam material from EPDM/PPB blends, as a potential buffer energy-absorbing material
Blends from the thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) of Propylene/1-butene copolymers (PPB) and Ethylene–propylene–diene monomer (EPDM) were successfully prepared by melt-mixed in an internal mixer and crosslinking through highenergy electron beam irradiation ...

Impact of Different Pressures on Charge Transport in EPDM
Ethylene-propelene-diene monomer (EPDM), as a high-quality insulation material, has been widely used in accessories of cable joints, but it bears a large compressive pressure in the working environment, which may affect its insulation performance.
