Factors and Connected Factors in Tough Graphs with High Isolated Toughness

open access: yes, 2019
In this paper, we show that every $1$-tough graph with order and isolated toughness at least $r+1$ has a factor whose degrees are $r$, except for at most one vertex with degree $r+1$.

Single Atom‐Particle Tandem Catalysis Enables Enhanced Desolvation Kinetics for Low‐Temperature Li‐S Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In this work, the tandem catalyst consisted of single Fe atom and Fe3C nanoparticles on porous carbon sheet is initially proposed and developed to facilitate the dissociation of Li(solvent)x+ to release more isolated Li+ to participate in the subsequent polysulfide redox conversions by decreasing the related barriers, contributing to fast kinetics of ...

Did U.S. Bank Supervisors Get Tougher During the Credit Crunch? Did They Get Easier During the Banking Boom? Did It Matter to Bank Lending? [PDF]

open access: yes
We test three hypotheses regarding changes in supervisory toughness' and their effects on bank lending. The data provide modest support for all three hypotheses that there was an increase in toughness during the credit crunch period (1989-1992), that ...

Effects of crack tip geometry on dislocation emission and cleavage: A possible path to enhanced ductility

open access: yes, 1996
We present a systematic study of the effect of crack blunting on subsequent crack propagation and dislocation emission. We show that the stress intensity factor required to propagate the crack is increased as the crack is blunted by up to thirteen atomic

Predicting Aggregation Behavior of Nanoparticles in Liquid Crystals via Automated Data‐Driven Workflows

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Herein, a comprehensive framework that enabled the optimization of colloidal solubility within a high‐dimensional parameter space and study of reversible assembly processes is developed. This data‐driven workflow integrated innovations including the robotic platform for automated AuNPs functionalization, machine learning for predicting and revealing ...

A parametric study of fracture toughness of fibrous composite materials [PDF]

open access: yes
Impacts to fibrous composite laminates by objects with low velocities can break fibers giving crack-like damage. The damage may not extend completely through a thick laminate.

Atomistic Representation of Anomalies in the Failure Behaviour of Nanocrystalline Silicene

open access: yes, 2017
Silicene, a 2D analogue of graphene, has spurred a tremendous research interest in the scientific community for its unique properties essential for next generation electronic devices. In this work, for the first time, we present a molecular dynamics (MD)

The Arizona Summit: Tough Times in a Tough Land

open access: yes, 2010
Western repositories have much to gain and little to lose from statewide initiatives that promote cooperative collection management policies. The region's topography, demographics, boom-bust cycles, and flood of new residents threaten their missions and their very existence.

Tuning D‐Band Center of Vanadium in Constructing Lattice‐Matched Coherent Heterostructure for Enhanced Sodium Storage

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The coherent heterostructure and the strong stress field at the heterointerface upshift the d‐band center of vanadium toward the Fermi level, which effectively lowers the Na+ diffusion barrier, facilitates charge transfer and accelerates reaction kinetics.
