A TEN-YEAR PERSPECTIVE ON TWIST-BEND NEMATIC MATERIALS

A Ten-Year Perspective on Twist-Bend Nematic Materials

The discovery of the twist-bend nematic phase (NTB) transpharm online shopping is a milestone within the field of liquid crystals.The NTB phase has a helical structure, with a repeat length of a few nanometres, and is therefore chiral, even when formed by achiral molecules.The discovery and rush to understand the rich physics of the NTB phase has p

An agent-based modelling framework for the simulation of large-scale consumer participation in electricity market ecosystems

Abstract The role of consumers as price-sensitive participants in electricity markets is considered essential to ensure efficient and secure operations of electricity systems.Yet the uncertain or unknown consequences of active market participation remain a large barrier for active consumer-side market participation.Simulations are a powerful tool t

Fluctuating Demand-Oriented Optimization of Train Line Planning Considering Carriage Resources Transfer under Flexible Compositions

The intercity railway is subject to variation and fluctuation in demand both in time and space over a day to a large extent.In that case, more advanced line planning techniques are practically needed to match the non-equilibrium passenger demand.We propose an integer linear programming model for adapting to the fluctuating demand and improving rail
