Droplet size development in a DISI injector fuel spray by Changzhao Jiang, Matthew C. Parker, Adrian Spencer, Graham Wigley, Colin Garner, J. Helie

“…Measurements are also made across the plume (perpendicular to the plume centreline) at the 30 and 50 mm locations. Measurements using PDA closer to the injector are more difficult due to the high spray density (particularly apparent at 20mm or closer to the injector). …”

Superconductivity assisted change of the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in V/MgO/Fe junctions by César González‑Ruano, Diego Caso, Lina G Johnsen, Coriolan Tiusan, Michel Hehn, Niladri Banerjee, Jacob Linder, Farkhad G Aliev

“…Here we show that in V/MgO/Fe(001) epitaxial junctions with competing in-plane and out-of-plane (OOP) magnetic anisotropies, the SOC mediated interaction between a ferromagnet (FM) and a superconductor (SC) enhances the effective PMA below the superconducting transition. …”

Polychromatic determination of spectral response of PV devices by Ira D. Sara

“…Validations of this method for a large- and small-area SR determinations show that it is potentially feasible as a new technique for determining SR of a PV device with deviations within ±2% across the wavelength bands.…”

Supplementary information files for: Superconductivity assisted change of the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in V/MgO/Fe junctions by César González‑Ruano, Diego Caso, Lina G Johnsen, Coriolan Tiusan, Michel Hehn, Niladri Banerjee, Jacob Linder, Farkhad G Aliev

“…PMA based devices usually involve heavy-metal (oxide)/ferromagnetic-metal bilayers, where, thanks to interfacial spin-orbit coupling (SOC), the in-plane (IP) stability of the magnetization is broken. Here we show that in V/MgO/Fe(001) epitaxial junctions with competing in-plane and out-of-plane (OOP) magnetic anisotropies, the SOC mediated interaction between a ferromagnet (FM) and a superconductor (SC) enhances the effective PMA below the superconducting transition. …”

Evidence for the microwave effect during hybrid sintering and annealing of ceramics by Jianxin Wang

“…The experimental results, obtained from melting point measurement on vanadium pentoxide and the heating of three other materials with different loss factors and thermal conductivities, showed that the optical fibre thermometer was the best choice. An accuracy of ±2oC was obtained, provided the probe had been calibrated and was protected from stray radiation from conventional heating elements. …”

A systematic approach to improving the signal processing and illumination in imaging photoplethysmography by Dmitry Iakovlev

“…Although the outcomes from present research activities show promising results when tested in a controlled environment, they lack certainty when applied to the real-world scenarios, e.g. an operating theatre or a walk-in centre. …”

Designing for health – reducing occupational health risks in bored pile operations by Alistair Gibb, Roger Haslam, Trevor C. Pavitt, K.A. Horne

“…These innovations have been developed by the construction supply chain and are readily available. D4h, a UK Government-funded research project by Loughborough University and the European Construction Institute, has demonstrated that designers can play their part in encouraging their adoption, without straying into the perceived danger of specifying means and methods. …”
