Building a Scalable Electrification Infrastructure in Logistics by Alam, Muhammad Ashhad

“…A major driver of this environmental footprint remains a heavy reliance on trucking—the least fuel-efficient mode of transportation. A key pathway toward freight decarbonization, therefore, involves shifting from internal combustion engines (ICE) to electric powertrains in truck fleets. …”

Properties of lightweight concrete by using light expanded clay aggregate by Wisnu Saputra.

“…In the design of the concrete mixture, water cement ratio (w/c) was the most significant ratio in providing high strength in comparison with other design ratios. It is also the least significant ratio in reducing the weight of the concrete.…”

Study of chemical vapor deposited carbon nanotubes as electrical interconnect by Ng, Chou Shing

“…Experiments are conducted with various thicknesses of Ti/TiN and Al/Al2O3 thin films in order to find a best fit solution that allows considerable growth of carbon nanotubes while as the same time minimizing the resistivity of the barrier layers. Last but not least, a comparison study is done to find out the differences in properties of the carbon nanotubes grown on the two thin films.…”

Sintercom : experiment in online civil society by Kwok, Amanda Ching Yee

“…It concludes that Sintercom’s experiment did open-up civil society space, at least on the Internet, although at the same time, the government’s experiment with what it saw as a “Light Touch” style of regulations using Sintercom as a testing-ground (due to its prominence in the 1990s Internet) also seemed to have succeeded at that point.…”

Ethical surveillance in vaccine passports by Cofone, I

“…Vaccine passports should work on a decentralized system and use the least invasive data possible. Further, vaccine passports should be based solely on government vaccine data, be implemented only in places where vaccines are widely available for free, track location only when they are scanned, and provide a non-digital option. …”

The sailor's tale by Hopkin, D

“…By investigating the function of stories and storytelling in the challenging conditions aboard ship—how they built reputations, established solidarities, intimated both resistance and accommodation—this paradox will be, if not resolved, at least clarified.…”

Achieving the multiparameter quantum Cramér-Rao bound with antiunitary symmetry by Wang, B, Zheng, K, Xie, Q, Zhang, A, Xu, L, Zhang, L

Towards targeted exploration for non-stochastic disturbances by Venkatasubramanian, J, Koehler, J, Cannon, M, Allgoewer, F

“…This work utilizes classical data-dependent uncertainty bounds on the least-squares parameter estimates in the presence of energy-bounded noise. …”

No trespassing! Abandoning the novice/expert problem by Levy, N

“…I argue that attempts to deploy them in this sort of deep way involve a kind of transgression akin to, and at least as unreliable as, epistemic trespassing. We should give up trying to solve the novice/expert problem and instead promote better epistemic trust.…”
