Phase Engineering of Atomically Precise Nanoclusters (APNCs) of Gold and Beyond

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Engineering the structural phase of materials is of paramount importance for both fundamental research and practical applications. In this Review, we summarize the recent progress in controlling the phases of atomically precise nanoclusters (APNCs) of gold, silver and copper, as well as bimetallic systems. The phase‐enabled material properties of APNCs

A Unified Ranking Model for Evaluating Snatch and Clean and Jerk Performances Across Body Mass and Sex

Sports
In Olympic-style weightlifting males outperform females and heavier weightlifters lift more weight than athletes with lighter body mass. Traditional ranking models in weightlifting are based on total weight lifted and do not permit direct comparison of ...

Global algebraic Poincaré–Bendixson annulus for the Rayleigh equation

Electronic Journal of Qualitative Theory of Differential Equations, 2023
We consider the Rayleigh equation $\ddot{x} + \lambda (\dot{x}^2/3-1)\dot{x} +x=0$ depending on the real parameter $\lambda$ and construct a Poincaré–Bendixson annulus $\mathcal{A}_\lambda$ in the phase plane containing the unique limit cycle $\Gamma_ ...

Beyond Nanoporosity: A CO2‐Conditioned Glassy Matrix Contributes to the Brittle‐to‐Ductile Transition of Nanocellular Polyetherimide

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The mechanical performance of nanocellular polyetherimide cannot be explained by nanoporosity alone. It is shown that CO2 saturation and desorption leave a distinct mechanical signature in the glassy matrix before foaming. This matrix contribution provides a new route to understand and optimize the brittle to ductile transition in nanocellular polymers.

pumBayes: Estimating Ideal Points from Voting Data in R Using Unfolding Models

Journal of Open Research Software
Probit unfolding models (PUMs) are a novel class of scaling models that allow for items with both monotonic and non-monotonic response functions. They have shown great promise in the estimation of preferences from voting data in various deliberative ...

Defect‐Templated Phase Engineering in Atomically Thin Metals

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Graphene defects are transformed from passive imperfections into programmable templates for phase‐selective growth of atomically thin silver. Plasma‐generated boundary defects favor Ag(1), whereas sp3‐rich zero‐layer graphene promotes Ag(2). This defect‐directed intercalation links local graphene chemistry to crystalline phase, electronic structure ...
