Experimental investigation of pile-supported/floating breakwaters integrated with oscillating-water-column converters by He, Fang

“…Most of the existing designs make use of vortex shedding, turbulence and/or wave breaking to enhance dissipation of wave energy. However, wave energy can also be used for electricity generation, and integration of a wave energy converter into a breakwater potentially can be a promising technology for waste-to-energy. …”

Effects of probiotic supplementation on calcium absorption and bone health status in ovariectomized rats by Parvaneh, Kolsoom

“…BMD, trabecular structures, percentage of bone volume/total volume (BV/TV %), and percentage of total porosity were assessed using micro CT-scan. Breaking force of the femur was analysed by three point bending test using universal testing machine. …”

Transport phenomena of immiscible fluids in microchannels by Yin, Shuai

“…The biggest advantage of the proposed approach is that it removes the necessity of surface treatment for O/W droplet formation in PMDS microchannels, breaking the limits brought by the surface wettability for the first time and rendering itself to be a universal method for O/W droplet active generation with outstanding controllability. …”

Towards haptic intelligence in robots by learning from demonstration by Turlapati Sri Harsha

“…However, these kinematic-haptic correspondences vary based on the materials of surfaces in contact, their geometry, making or breaking of contact, and several other task-specific variables, which makes it hard to develop pre-programmed / feedforward robotic approaches. …”

Towards electrically injected colloidal semiconductor lasers by Thung, Yi Tian

“…The fabricated microlasers exhibited stable lasing at room temperature with a record-breaking quality (Q-) factor of 13000, a low lasing threshold of 27.67 μJ cm-2, and stable single-mode lasing with a Q-factor of 7340 via evanescent field coupling between an NPL-coated microsphere and a thin uncoated microfiber in a 2D-3D microcavity configuration. …”

Grid compliance for the land based electrical power generators by Yang, Shicong

“…In steady state, the DBR is bypassed by a mechanical circuit breaker and no power loss is expected. When a severe grid fault is detected, the DBR is switched-in to consume the excessive energy from the generators. …”

Topochemical fluorination of some Ruddlesden-Popper phases by Zhang, R

“…The introduction of a cooperative octahedral tilt around the crystallographic z-axis leads to a local breaking of the inversion symmetry of the host lattice on fluorination, although the global inversion symmetry of the lattice is retained due to an alternation in the z-tilt direction in adjacent perovskite sheets.…”

Robust and efficient deep learning methods for vision-based action recognition by Xu, Yuecong

“…In summary, this thesis contributes to robust and efficient vision-based action recognition by introducing two algorithms for extracting robust and efficient temporal or spatiotemporal correlation features and pioneering in the research of robust vision-based action recognition in dark videos, breaking through the constraint of current vision-based action recognition research conducted on only normal illuminated videos.…”

50 Years of quantum chromodynamics by Gross, Franz, Klempt, Eberhard, Brodsky, Stanley J., Buras, Andrzej J., Burkert, Volker D., Heinrich, Gudrun, Jakobs, Karl, Meyer, Curtis A., Orginos, Kostas, Strickland, Michael, Stachel, Johanna, Zanderighi, Giulia, Brambilla, Nora, Braun-Munzinger, Peter, Britzger, Daniel, Capstick, Simon, Cohen, Tom, Crede, Volker, Constantinou, Martha, Davies, Christine, Del Debbio, Luigi, Denig, Achim, DeTar, Carleton, Deur, Alexandre, Dokshitzer, Yuri, Dosch, Hans Günter, Dudek, Jozef, Dunford, Monica, Epelbaum, Evgeny, Escobedo, Miguel A., Fritzsch, Harald, Fukushima, Kenji, Gambino, Paolo, Gillberg, Dag, Gottlieb, Steven, Grafstrom, Per, Grazzini, Massimiliano, Grube, Boris, Guskov, Alexey, Iijima, Toru, Ji, Xiangdong, Karsch, Frithjof, Kluth, Stefan, Kogut, John B., Krauss, Frank, Kumano, Shunzo, Leinweber, Derek, Leutwyler, Heinrich, Li, Hai-Bo, Li, Yang, Malaescu, Bogdan, Mariotti, Chiara, Maris, Pieter, Marzani, Simone, Melnitchouk, Wally, Messchendorp, Johan, Meyer, Harvey, Mitchell, Ryan Edward, Mondal, Chandan, Nerling, Frank, Neubert, Sebastian, Pappagallo, Marco, Pastore, Saori, Peláez, José R., Puckett, Andrew, Qiu, Jianwei, Rabbertz, Klaus, Ramos, Alberto, Rossi, Patrizia, Rustamov, Anar, Schäfer, Andreas, Scherer, Stefan, Schindler, Matthias, Schramm, Steven, Shifman, Mikhail, Shuryak, Edward, Sjöstrand, Torbjörn, Sterman, George, Stewart, Iain W., Stroth, Joachim, Swanson, Eric, de Téramond, Guy F., Thoma, Ulrike, Vairo, Antonio, van Dyk, Danny, Vary, James, Virto, Javier, Vos, Marcel, Weiss, Christian, Wobisch, Markus, Wu, Sau Lan, Young, Christopher, Yuan, Feng, Zhao, Xingbo, Zhou, Xiaorong

“…These methods range from the Bethe–Salpeter, Dyson–Schwinger coupled relativistic equations, which are formulated in both Minkowski or Euclidean spaces, to expansions of multi-quark states in a set of basis functions using light-front coordinates, to the AdS/QCD method that imbeds 4-dimensional QCD in a 5-dimensional deSitter space, allowing confinement and spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking to be described in a novel way. Models that assume the number of colors is very large, i.e. make use of the large $$N_c$$ N c -limit, give unique insights. …”

Modélisation des interactions en Italie du Nord au premier âge du Fer: de la circulation de parures aux réseaux d’influences culturelles by Cicolani, V, Huet, T, Zamboni, L

“…The modeling, based on graph theory and the application of community detection algorithms (here edge.betweenness.community, from 'igraph' R package) enables the degree of importance and proximity between groups to be assessed by hierarchical segmentation of links, in order to identify coherent clusters. By breaking the links between sub-groups of nodes, we can identify groups of nodes that share more with each other than they share with the other nodes in the graph (communities of attributes). …”
