Acoustic Metasurface-Aided Broadband Noise Reduction in Automobile Induced by Tire-Pavement Interaction

Description: Article demonstrating a technique utilizing acoustic metasurfaces (AMSes) with high reflective characteristics using relatively lightweight materials for noise reduction without any change in mechanical strength or weight of the tire. The proposed design can significantly reduce the noise arising from tire–pavement interaction over a broadband of acoustic frequencies under 1000 Hz and over a wide range of vehicle speeds using a negative effective dynamic mass density approach.

Apparent Specific Volumes of Sucrose in Different Aqueous Cosolvent Mixtures at 298.2 K

Description: This article explores research to determine the apparent specific volume of sucrose by measuring the density of sucrose in {cosolvent + water} mixtures at 298.2 K. The study finds that a mean apparent specific volume value of 0.632 cm³.g⁻¹ for sucrose in different aqueous-cosolvent mixtures could be adequate for practical purposes in pharmaceutical industries.

Foias Numbers

Description: This article identifies the principal features in Foias’ original proof and streamlines them into a general result. The result gives further evidence to the observation that the connection between the sequence with initial seed the Foias constant and the Prime Number Theorem must be fortuitous.

Further Analysis on Solubility Measurement and Thermodynamic Modeling of Benzoic Acid in Monosolvents and Binary Mixtures

Description: Article discussing further analyses of the recent report (by Sandeepa et al.) on the solubility of benzoic acid in six monosolvents (i.e. tributyl phosphate, diacetone alcohol, methyl-n-propyl ketone, methyl acetate, amyl acetate, and isooctane) and five binary systems (i.e. ethanol + hexane, isopropyl alcohol + hexane and chloroform + hexane, acetone + hexane, and acetone + water) along with some numerical analyses. The reported calculations have been reanalyzed based on combined nearly ideal b… more

Patch characteristics and domestic dogs differentially affect carnivore space use in fragmented landscapes in southern Chile

Description: This article's aim is to determine whether (a) the spatial use of domestic dogs increases with habitat destruction, and (b) domestic dogs and habitat destruction drive the spatial use of native carnivores in a heavily degraded agricultural landscape. Conclusions highlight that domestic dog occupancy was positively correlated with habitat loss and future conditions of increased fragmentation and habitat loss will likely increase the potential contact between domestic dogs and native carnivores.

Reconstructing horizontal gene flow network to understand prokaryotic evolution

Description: Article says that horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a major source of phenotypic innovation and a mechanism of niche adaptation in prokaryotes. Methods for detecting HGT can be classified into phylogenetic-based and parametric or composition-based approaches, so authors exploited the complementary strengths of both the approaches to construct a high confidence horizontal gene flow network. The scale-free horizontal gene flow network presented here provides new insights into modes of transfer fo… more
