Combustion Performance of Silicone Rubber Polymer Insulation Material Under Damp‐Heat Ageing Conditions: Molecular Insights Into the Effects of Structural Changes on Macroscopic Properties

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Silicone rubber (SR), an organic silicon polymer material, is known for its excellent heat resistance and mechanical properties. It is widely used in composite insulators and cable accessory materials. However, the ageing caused by humidity and heat significantly impacts its performance, an issue that cannot be ignored. This paper investigates

Imaging gas in a combustion engine with high‐energy X‐ray Compton scattering

open access: yesJournal of Synchrotron Radiation, EarlyView.
Compton‐scattering imaging has been applied to a combustion engine under operation for the first time. With a time‐resolved technique, a crank‐angle dependency of Compton‐scattered X‐ray intensity is obtained at different positions in a combustion chamber.We have developed a time‐resolved Compton‐scattering imaging technique for visualizing gas ...

“Flames Over Persepolis”: New Scientific Evidence Supporting Historical Perspectives

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the burning of Persepolis Terrace, historically attributed to Alexander III in 330 bce. A review of classical accounts and excavation reports, combined with diagnostic surveys, confirms the fire's historicity and provides novel insights.

PSHead: 3D Head Reconstruction from a Single Image with Diffusion Prior and Self‐Enhancement

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We introduce PSHead, a coarse‐to‐fine framework guided by both object and face priors, to produce a Gaussian‐based 3D avatar for a single frontal‐view reference image. In the coarse stage, we create an initial 3D representation by applying diffusion models trained for general object generation, using Score Distillation Sampling losses over novel views.

When Similar Individuals Don't Attract: Absence of Assortative Mating by Coloration in a Damselfly With Honest Signaling

open access: yesEthology, EarlyView.
In Acanthagrion lancea damselflies, both sexes display blue ornamentation, but do they choose mates based on it? We tested whether mutual mate choice and time constraints influence ornament evolution. Blue coloration correlated with individual quality, but individuals did not choose mates based on color, and this was unaffected by time constraints over
