Nanoscale fluid structure of liquid-solid-vapour contact lines for a wide range of contact angles by Andreas Nold, David Sibley, Benjamin D. Goddard, Serafim Kalliadasis

“…The density profile is employed to compute the normal pressure acting on the substrate along the contact line. We observe that for the full range of contact angles, the maximal normal pressure cannot solely be predicted by the curvature of the adsorption film height, but is instead softened – likely by the width of the liquid-vapour interface. …”

Working memory and number line representations in single-digit addition: approximate versus exact, nonsymbolic versus symbolic by Iro Xenidou-Dervou, Menno van der Schoot, Ernest C.D.M. van Lieshout

“…We administered problems that differed solely on the basis of two dimensions: response type (approximate or exact), and stimulus type (nonsymbolic, i.e., dots, or symbolic, i.e., Arabic numbers). …”

Optimal energy management strategy for a fuel cell hybrid electric vehicle by Thomas P. Fletcher

“…This means that its optimisation is an incredibly complex task which must consider a number of objectives including the fuel consumption, drive-ability, component degradation and straight-line performance. The EMS is of particular importance for Fuel Cell Hybrid Electric Vehicles (FCHEVs), not only to minimise the fuel consumption, but also to reduce the electrical stress on the fuel cell and maximise its useful lifetime. …”
