Abstract This paper discusses the measurement and modeling of tire rolling resistance for a group of radial medium truck tires. The tires were subjected to tread depth modifications by “buffing” the tread surface. The experimental work used the equilibrium test method of SAE J-1269. The finite element analysis (FEA) tire model for tire rolling resistance has been previously presented. The results of the testing showed changes in rolling resistance as a function of tread depth that were inconsistent between tires. Several observations were also inconsistent with published information and common knowledge. Several mechanisms were proposed to explain the results. Additional experiments and models were used to evaluate the mechanisms. Mechanisms that were examined included tire age, surface texture, and tire shape. An explanation based on buffed tread radius, and the resulting changes in footprint stresses, is proposed that explains the observed experimental changes in rolling resistance with tread depth.

The electrophilic borylation of 2,5-diarylpyrazines results in the formation of boron-nitrogen doped dihydroindeno[1,2-<i>b</i>]fluorene which can be synthesized via mildly air-sensitive techniques and the end products handled readily under atmosphereic conditions. Through transmetallation via diarylzinc reagents a series of derivatives were sythesized which show broad absorption profiles that highlight the versatility of this backbone to be used in organic solar cell devices. These compounds can be synthesized in large yields, in alow number of steps and functionalized at many stages along the way providing a large depth of possibilities. Exploratory device paramaters were studied and show PCE of 2%.

Scattering medium brings great difficulties to locate and reconstruct objects especially when the objects are distributed in different positions. In this paper, a novel physics and learning-heuristic method is presented to locate and image the object through a strong scattering medium. A novel physics-informed framework, named DINet, is constructed to predict the depth and the image of the hidden object from the captured speckle pattern. With the phase-space constraint and the efficient network structure, the proposed method enables to locate the object with a depth mean error less than 0.05 mm, and image the object with an average peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) above 24 dB, ranging from 350 mm to 1150 mm. The constructed DINet firstly solves the problem of quantitative locating and imaging via a single speckle pattern in a large depth. Comparing with the traditional methods, it paves the way to the practical applications requiring multi-physics through scattering media.

Most theoretical models of the AM Her variables (AM Her, AN UMa, W Pup and 2A0311-22) rely on strong cyclotron emission at the fundamental cyclotron frequency and higher harmonics to produce the observed, strongly-polarized optical continuum (e.g. Lamb and Masters 1979). The cyclotron lines, which presumably originate in the hot, isothermal accretion shock at the surface of the white dwarf (kT ≳ 10 keV, h/R* ≲ 0.1), should be blurred into a continuous spectrum by both optical depth effects and electron Doppler broadening. Thus the lack of even weak cyclotron features in the optical spectra of these objects is still compatible with a cyclotron origin.
