Leidenfrost drops with ellipsoidal shaping can control the bouncing height by adjusting the aspect ratio(AR) of the shape at the moment of impact. In this work, we focus on the effect of the AR and the impact Weber number(We) on the non-axisymmetrical spreading dynamics of the drop, which plays an important role in the control of bouncing. To understand the impact dynamics, the numerical simulation is conducted for the ellipsoidal drop impact upon the perfect non-wetting solid surface by using volume of fluid method, which shows the characteristics of the spreading behavior in each principal axis. As the AR increases, the drop has a high degree of the alignment into one principal axis, which leads to the consequent suppression of bouncing height with shape oscillation. As the We increases, the maximum spreading diameters in the principal axes both increase whereas the contact time on the solid surface rarely depends on the impact velocity at the same AR. The comprehensive understanding of the ellipsoidal drop impact upon non-wetting surface will provide the way to control of drop deposition in applications, such as surface cleaning and spray cooling.

Unlike spherical drop impact, ellipsoidal drop impact can control the bouncing height on a heated surface by significantly altering impact behavior. To scrutinize the effect of the aspect ratio (AR) of the drop on the bounce suppression, in this study, non-axisymmetric spreading behaviors are observed from two side views and characterized based on the spreading width of the drop for horizontal principal axes. In addition, the maximum spreading width is investigated for various ARs. The results show that as the AR increases, the maximum spreading width of the minor axis increases, whereas that of the major axis shows no significant variation. In the regime of high AR and high impact velocity, liquid fragmentations by three parts are observed during bouncing. These fragmentations are discussed in this work. The hydrodynamic features of ellipsoidal drop impact will help understand bouncing control on non-wetting surfaces for several applications, such as self-cleaning and spray cooling.

A compressive split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) technique is used to investigate the dynamic behavior of SM45C at high temperature. A radiant heater, which consists of one ellipsoidal reflector and one halogen lamp, is used to heat the specimen. Specimens are tested from $600^{\circ}C$ to $1000^{\circ}C$ at intervals of $100^{\circ}C$ at a strain-rate ranging from 1100/s to 1150/s. A critical phenomenon occurs between $700^{\circ}C$ and $750^{\circ}C$ in SM45C. This phenomenon results in the drastic drop in a flow stress. In a modified Johnson-Cook constitutive equation, a reducer function is used to take into account for the effect of the drastic drop in a flow stress. A reducer function, which is dependant on the temperature as well as the strain, is introduced and the parameters of the modified Johnson-Cook constitutive equation are determined from test results.

The common-envelope process is a complicated phase in binary evolution. A lot of effort has been dedicated to study the common-envelope stage, but many questions related to this process are yet to be answered. If one member of the binary survives the common-envelope phase, the binary will emerge as a white dwarf accompanied by a low-mass main sequence star in close orbit, often referred as a post common-envelope binary (PCEB). SDSS J0745+2631 is among the list of newly found PCEBs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). This star is proposed to be a strong eclipsing system candidate due to the ellipsoidal modulation in its light curve. In this work, we aim to confirm the eclipsing nature of SDSS J0745+2631 and to determine the stellar and orbital parameters using the software Binary Maker 3.0 (BM3.0). We detected the primary eclipse in the light curve of SDSS J0745+2631 in our follow-up observation from January 2014 using the ULTRASPEC instrument at the Thai National Observatory. The data obtained on 7th and 8th January 2014 in g filter show an evident drop in brightness during the eclipse of the white dwarf, but this eclipse is less prominent in the data taken on the next night using a clear filter. According to our preliminary model, we find that SDSS J0745+2631 hosts a rather hot white dwarf with an effective temperature of 11500K. The companion star is a red dwarf star with a temperature of 3800K and radius of 0.3100 $R_{\odot}$. The red dwarf star almost fills its Roche lobe, causing a large ellipsoidal modulation. The mass ratio of the binary given by the Binary Maker 3.0 (BM3.0) model is M2/M1 = 0.33.

Since it was firstly identified in Suweon during the growing season in 1986, this fungus of peanut web blotch, Phoma arachidicola, has been widely distributed to the major peanut growing areas throughout the whole country. Disease symptoms appeared on the adaxial surface of peanut like ink drop lesion with net form, and finally turned to dark brown blotch. The fungus isolated was revealed to form dark brown colonies on PD agar at $28^{\circ}C$, resulting 4.5 mm mycelial extension per day. Hyaline conidia were observed to be either aseptate or single septeted, and sized with the ellipsoidal to cylindrical shape $3.0{\times}14.5\;{\mu}m$. The optimum temperature was ranged 24 to $26^{\circ}$ in the grwoth. Virginia type peanut was more resistant to the fungus than Spainish type in the field reaction.
