Earth pressure balance machines are increasingly being used for tunnelling in difficult soils and ground conditions. In clayey soils, clogging of the working tools is among the main hazards. Attempts to reduce this risk by adding anti-clogging chemicals do not always produce the desired effect. In this paper, the limi…

The four known diiodine complexes have distinct geometries. These turn out, as we demonstrate by a bonding analysis, to be a direct consequence of diiodine acting as an acceptor in one set, the van Koten complexes, and as a donor in the Cotton, Dikarev, and Petrukhina extended structure. The primary analytical tool ut…

We present a detailed systematic investigation of the transient uniaxial extensional response of a series of well-characterized, anionically synthesized comb polystyrenes and polyisoprenes. The comb architecture consists of a linear chain backbone with multiple branches of equal molar mass, and represents an excellent…

We propose a novel approach to enhance the bandwidth of the high directivity of the resonant cavity antenna (RCA) by applying two dielectric layers as superstrates. The approach is based on creating two cavities corresponding to two operating frequency bands that combine to form a single wide band of operation. The RC…
