Materials Cartography: Representing and Mining Material Space Using Structural and Electronic Fingerprints [PDF]
As the proliferation of high-throughput approaches in materials science is increasing the wealth of data in the field, the gap between accumulated-information and derived-knowledge widens. We address the issue of scientific discovery in materials databases by introducing novel analytical approaches based on structural and electronic materials ...

Supplementary Results of a Comparative Syntactic and Semantic Study of Terms for Software Testing Glossaries [PDF]
This preprint specifies supplementary material and the results of a comparative, syntactic, and semantic study of terms for three software testing glossaries. The three software testing glossaries are: the ISO 29119-1, Concepts and definitions standard, the Standard Glossary of Terms used in Software Testing (version 3.5) by the International Software ...

Testing for shielding of special nuclear weapon materials [PDF]
Nuclear-weapon-material detection via gamma-ray sensing is routinely applied, for example, in monitoring cross-border traffic. Natural or deliberate shielding both attenuates and distorts the shape of the gamma-ray spectra of specific radionuclides, thereby making such routine applications challenging.

Tools for multiaxial validation of behavior laws chosen for modeling hyper-elasticity of rubber-like materials [PDF]
We present an experimental approach to discriminate hyper-elastic models describing the mechanical behavior of rubber-like materials. An evaluation of the displacement field obtained by digital image correlation allows us to evaluate the heterogeneous strain field observed during these tests.

Single-test evaluation of directional elastic properties of anisotropic structured materials [PDF]
When the elastic properties of structured materials become direction-dependent, the number of their descriptors increases. For example, in two-dimensions, the anisotropic behavior of materials is described by up to 6 independent elastic stiffness parameters, as opposed to only 2 needed for isotropic materials. Such high number of parameters expands the

It is allegedly known that the thermal stability of the Mint Lift® (the Mint Lift® 17 and the Mint Lift® Fine; HansBiomed Co., Ltd., Seoul, Korea) over time might be lower as compared with thread-lifts processed through ultrasonic molding technology ...

Hyperelastic constitutive modeling with exponential decay and application to a viscoelastic adhesive [PDF]
Hyperelastic materials models are well established to describe the non-linear stress-strain relations of elastomers. In this paper, a polyurethane adhesive is considered as an exemplary material and subjected to tensile, compressive and shear tests. Conventional hyperelastic models are unable to capture the mechanical behaviour satisfyingly: If the ...

Characterization of fungal carbonyl sulfide hydrolase belonging to clade D β‐carbonic anhydrase
Here, we performed a functional analysis of the fungal enzymes belonging to clade D of the β‐class carbonic anhydrase family (β‐D‐CA). The β‐D‐CAs in the basidiomycete Gloeophyllum trabeum and the ascomycete Trichoderma harzianum showed very low activity in the hydration of CO2 but exhibited high activity in the hydrolysis of carbonyl sulfide (COS ...
