Knot projections with reductivity two [PDF]
Topology Appl. 193 (2015), 290--301, 2020 Reductivity of knot projections refers to the minimum number of splices of double points needed to obtain reducible knot projections. Considering the type and method of splicing (Seifert type splice or non-Seifert type splice, recursively or simultaneously), we can obtain four reductivities containing Shimizu's reductivity, three of which are new.

Mechanical Properties of Improved Multiple-Layers Viscoelastic Damper
Advances in Civil Engineering, 2023 Viscoelastic dampers (VEDs) have been implemented successfully to reduce structural vibrations due to earthquakes and wind events. Conventional VEDs consist of two viscoelastic (VE) layers chemically bounded at their entire contact surface to three steel
