Polar tweed was discovered in mechanically stressed LaAlO3. Local patches of strained material (diameter ca. 5 μm) form interwoven patterns seen in birefringence images, Piezo-Force Microscopy (PFM) and Resonant Piezoelectric Spectroscopy (RPS). PFM and RPS observations prove unequivocally that electrical polarity exists inside the tweed patterns of LaAlO3. The local piezoelectric effect varies...

Introduction: Angle Class II division 1 patients with a large ANB and severe discrepancies arefrequently found in the Japanese population. In such severe Class II patients, it is difficult to improve theprotrusive profile with only premolar extraction. Additional first-molar extraction (AFME) is aprocedure that can be done after premolar extraction space closure for patients who hav...

Edward H. Angle dominated orthodontic armamentarium, diagnosis and treatment planning for almost a half century until Charles Tweed successfully challenged his mentor's nonextraction mantra. The ensuing diagnostic regimen used by Tweed, however, proved to have serious limitations and clearly resulted in the extraction of too many teeth. This caused a subsequent deterioration of soft tissue appe...

Based on experimental observations of modulated magnetic patterns in a Co0.5Ni0.205Ga0.295 alloy, we propose a model to describe a (purely) magnetic tweed and a magnetoelastic tweed. The former arises above the Curie (or Néel) temperature due to magnetic disorder. The latter results from compositional fluctuations coupling to strain and then to magnetism through the magnetoelastic interaction a...

Our 3-D percept of the world is constructed from the two-dimensional visual images on the retina of each eye, but these images and the relationships between them are affected by the 3-D rotations of each eye. These 3-D eye rotations are constrained to patterns such as Listing's law, or its generalisation 'L2', according to the context. Our understanding of the patterns of such three-dimensional...

High resolution DEMs obtained from LiDAR topographic data have led to 9 improved landform inventories (e.g. landslides and fault scarps) and understanding of 10 geomorphic event frequency. Here we use airborne LiDAR mapping to investigate 11 meltwater pathways associated with the Tweed Valley palaeo ice-stream (UK). In particular 12 we focus on a gorge downstream of Palaeolake Milfield, previou...

Fast and effectively disposable fashion has seen clothing reduced to transient items, worn for a short period of time then discarded. This pushed down prices, moving textile production low-cost labour countries decimating the traditional Scottish economy. drives consumer demand newness uses finite resources that are damaging environment. In 2019, pressure move towards more sustainable industry ...

This paper discusses a Knowledge Transfer Project (KTP) with global Scottish heritage brand to develop year-round sustainable business model through design-led approach new product innovation that improves their sustainability credentials. Sustainability in textile production is under increasing scrutiny from the media, governments, regulators, and consumers, all demanding transparency supply c...
