Half-Heard Voices of the Primal Zone; Sleep and Waking in a Poem by Cao Shuying
, 2017 Initially touching artifacts and sculpture from ancient Greece, and the risk of misreading thought or emotion cross-culturally, this essay draws briefly on Wordsworth’s testimony that poetic process arises first in a primally sensual and pre-verbal zone.

NASA ExoPAG Study Analysis Group 11: Preparing for the WFIRST Microlensing Survey [PDF]
, 2014 NASA's proposed WFIRST-AFTA mission will discover thousands of exoplanets with separations from the habitable zone out to unbound planets, using the technique of gravitational microlensing.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Cladding is a proven method that boosts the surface qualities of mechanical parts by applying a layer of more durable material over a base substrate. This work responds to the needs of offshore and pressure vessels sectors by focusing on cladding a super austenitic steel onto low‐carbon steel through gas tungsten arc welding.

Idiosyncratic Risk, Market Risk and Correlation Dynamics in European Equity Markets [PDF]
We examine total, market and idiosyncratic risk and correlation dynamics using daily data from 1993 to 2001 on the 6 largest euro-zone stock market indices and 42 firms from the Dow Jones Eurostoxx50 index. We also estimate conditional correlations using

Numerical Modeling of Tank Cars Carrying Hazardous Materials With and Without Composite Metal Foam
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Large‐scale puncture models consisting of hazardous materials (HAZMATs) tank car with protective steel–steel composite metal foam (S–S CMF) are solved numerically. Tank car plate with added 10.91–13.33 mm thick S–S CMF layer does not puncture. Protective S–S CMF absorbs impact energy, reduces plate deformation, and prevents shear bands formation ...

Robust Spot Melting by 3D Spot Arrangements in Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This work proposes an approach to replace separately melted contours for spot melting in electron beam powder fusion. Adapting the spot arrangements close to the contour combined with stacking yields a comparable surface quality without the inherent challenges of separate contours, as demonstrated, by electron optical images and roughness measurements.

Asset Allocation in the Euro-Zone: Industry or Country Based? [PDF]
We investigate the relative importance of country and industry factors as determinants of international equity returns in the Euro-zone over the period 1990 to 2003.We conduct our analysis from a portfolio performance perspective, using mean-variance ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.A novel workflow for investigating hydride vapor phase epitaxy for GaN bulk crystal growth is proposed. It combines Design of experiments (DoE) with physical simulations of mass transport and crystal growth kinetics, serving as an intermediate step between DoE and experiments.
