Emission from a bismuth doped chalcogenide glass spanning from 1µm to 2.7µm
No full textWe report emission from a bismuth doped chalcogenide glass with a full width half maximum of 850 nm. The quantum efficiency and lifetime were 32% and 175 µs. We report two new bismuth emission bands at 2000 and 2600 nm

Effect of episodic pre-failure cyclic loading on whole-life geotechnical properties of soft clays
No full textChanges in soil properties due to loading and consolidation during the life of infrastructure affect the soil response to future events. This concept is encapsulated in the whole-life geotechnical design approach which accounts for the evolution of properties such as strength, stiffness and consolidation coefficient, to improve forecasts of system response through and beyond the design life. This paper explores the changing properties of a soft clay from episodes of pre-failure cyclic loading and consolidation through a series of stress-controlled cyclic direct simple shear (DSS) tests. The scenario is relevant to offshore applications where infrastructure is subject to cyclic seasonal loading, and is particularly relevant to floating offshore wind anchoring systems as these are located in deeper water, farther from shore where soft clays are common. The results quantify the effect of cyclic stress amplitude, number of cycles per packet, and number of consolidation intervals, on the clay properties. The results show increases in undrained strength by up to 70%, stiffness by up to 50% and consolidation coefficient by a factor of up to 30, highlighting the importance of accounting for whole-life effects for reliable and efficient geotechnical design.</p

Catalyst Recycling in the Suzuki Coupling Reaction: Toward a Greener Synthesis in the Pharmaceutical Industry
No full textThe Suzuki coupling is a transition metal-catalyzed, cross-coupling carbon–carbon (C–C) bond forming reaction between organic boron compounds and organic halides. As an operationally simple and versatilely applicable procedure, the Suzuki coupling reaction has found immense applications in drug discovery and development in the pharmaceutical industry. Recently, the topic of catalyst recycling has undergone intensive investigations with ever-growing interest in eco-friendly and sustainable synthesis. To recapitulate the latest progress in catalyst recycling in the Suzuki coupling reaction, this invited paper reviews key principles, benefits, challenges, and cutting-edge applications of recyclable catalysts for green synthesis of industrially valuable bioactive molecules. This review paper also discusses how artificial intelligence (AI) could further advance green synthesis of pharmaceutical products
Changing soil responses during episodic cyclic loading in DSS tests
No full textWhole life geotechnical design is an emerging philosophy in offshore geotechnical engineering to improve design outcomes by considering the whole life of imposed actions coupled with geotechnical properties that evolve with each action. Softening of normally consolidated clays from undrained cyclic loading intervened with consolidation has been shown to lead to hardening, manifested by evolving strength, stiffness, and coefficient of consolidation. This paper presents results from a set of stress-controlled direct simple shear (DSS) tests. The tests follow pre-failure episodic cyclic loading stress paths where each episode comprises a packet of undrained cycles of loads followed by full consolidation. The soil response under different numbers of cycles per loading packet and number of loading packets with intervening consolidation is investigated. The results from this study quantify the effect of the undrained cyclic loading history, for the same final number of cycles, on the evolution of the soil properties, to support the application of whole life geotechnical design in practice. Outcomes allow calibration of design curves that are traditionally used to capture softening, by introducing consolidation effects. This enables capturing the whole life softening and hardening processes, by extending the traditional contour diagram representation for undrained cyclic loading without consolidation to allow for consolidation periods.</p

No full textChanging soil response during episodic cyclic loading in direct simple shear tests
No full textUndrained cyclic loading of normally consolidated clays, interspersed with consolidation (i.e., episodic cyclic loading), hasbeen shown to lead to softening followed by hardening, manifested by evolving parameters such as strength, stiffness, andcoefficient of consolidation. The current evidence base is drawn from tests in which soil strength has been fully mobilized ineach cycle of loading, whereas in practice, changes in stress around a geotechnical infrastructure typically occur only at aprefailure level. This paper presents results from a set of stress-controlled episodic cyclic direct simple shear tests imposingprefailure stress reversals in each cycle. Differences in soil response are identified for the same total number of cycles ofloading but imposed through packets of different numbers of cycles and, consequently, different numbers of interveningconsolidation stages. The results highlight the effect of load history on operational soil properties and quantify the effect ofthe undrained prefailure cyclic loading history on the evolution of the soil properties, supporting the application of wholelife geotechnical design in practice
