The Ages of the Thin Disk, Thick Disk, and the Halo from Nearby White Dwarfs
We present a detailed analysis of the white dwarf luminosity functions derived from the local 40 pc sample and the deep proper motion catalog of Munn et al (2014, 2017).

Hydrostatic bearings excel in high‐precision applications, but their performance hinges on a continuous external supply. This study evaluates various material combinations for sliding surfaces to mitigate damage during supply failures or misalignment and to discover the most effective materials identified for enhancing the reliability and efficiency of

A Different Perspective on the Solid Lubrication Performance of Black Phosphorous: Friend or Foe?
Researchers investigate black phosphorous (BP) as a standalone solid lubricant coating through ball‐on‐disc linear‐reciprocating sliding experiments in dry conditions. Testing on different metals shows BP doesn't universally reduce friction and wear. However, it achieves 33% friction reduction on rougher iron surfaces and 23% wear reduction on aluminum.

Investigating the Lower Limit of Metallicity for the Galactic Thin Disk
We explore the metal-poor regime of the Galactic disk on the distribution of stars in the [ α /M]– V _ϕ plane, to identify the most metal-poor thin disk (MPTnD) stars belonging to the low- α sequence.

Research Paper: Producing High Average Power Pulses From the Yb:YAG Thin-disk Active Medium with Acousto-optic Modulator [PDF]
In recent years, thin-disk active media geometry has facilitated the development of pulsed and continuous laser sources with extremely high output powers. In this study, the technique of Q-switching utilizing an acousto-optic modulator and a Yb: YAG thin-

Numerical and Experimental Analysis of Yb:YAG Thin Disk Regenerative Amplifier
We present an numerical and experimental analysis of a Yb:YAG thin disk regenerative amplifier. Group velocity dispersion, third order dispersion, and self-phase modulation (SPM) effects are considered in the simulations of the amplification process.

Two-component model for the chemical evolution of the Galactic disk [PDF]
In the present paper, we introduce a two-component model of the Galactic disk to investigate its chemical evolution. The formation of the thick and thin disks occur in two main accretion episodes with both infall rates to be Gaussian.
