The hygroscopic property of particulate matter (PM) influencing light scattering and absorption is vital for determining visibility and accurate sensing of PM using a low-cost sensor. In this study, we examined the hygroscopic properties of coarse PM (CPM) and fine PM (FPM; PM2.5) and the eff...
1. We assume that the reader has some acquaintance with chiral symmetry, the SSH model and topological states of matter21,24. In the optical context, the edge states from this model have been experimentally observed and theoretically explained in photonic superlattices1,25. Figure 1 (a,b) ...
11-c). Various fracture shapes are clearly observed under Formation MicroScanner images (FMI). Considering the nature of filling, features were divided into conductive fractures (open fractures) and resistive fractures (filled fractures). Conductive fractures generally exhibit a resistivity black stripe,...
Natural organic matter (NOM) has considerable influence on the aggregation and stability of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs). However, the effect of chemical properties of NOM on the interface interaction and the aggregation process is still not clear. In this study, we investigated the ef...
In the inner core of NSs, the hyperon, meson condensations, and even the absolutely stable strange quark matter (SQM) may appear, which implies NSs could be converted to QSs. The possible existence of QSs is still one of the most important fields of modern nuclear physics and astrophysics ...

of earthquakes as indicators of the difference between the shear strength and the dynamic stress level on the fault plane, independent of the earthquake size. Here, we must note that the self-similarity for a broad range of earthquake sizes is not fully confirmed and remains a matter of ...
The overall physical properties of tissues emerge in a complex manner from the properties of the component cells and other constituent materials from which the tissue is formed, across multiple length scales ranging from nanometres to millimetres. Recent studies have suggested that interfacial tension ...
However, this relationship was weak and only seemed to matter for indoor stimuli, probably because of their functional and more predictable design33. Other properties of anchor objects (size and movability) also only appeared in models for indoor scenes, and had, if at all, very little ...
Then, the samples were incinerated at 440 °C for 12 h in a Thermo Scientific incinerator to remove the organic matter. This high-temperature incineration caused a notable change in the powdered samples’ coloration from dark black to light gray. The quantitative mineralogy of the powdered ...
