SectionKey: 3-D semantic point cloud descriptor for place recognition in large-scale environments by Jin, Shutong

“…More recent attention has been attracted to use 3-D Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) scans, where most of the LiDAR-based methods work by leveraging accurate geometric information that demonstrates more credibility. However, these pure geometric-based methods are tend to fail in repetitive and ambiguous scenarios in the urban environments, which may result in low place recognition accuracy and efficiency. …”

Two-dimensional melting of two- and three-component mixtures by Li, Yan-Wei, Yao, Yugui, Ciamarra, Massimo Pica

“…We show that a mixture's melting pathway may differ from its components and demonstrate eutectic mixtures that crystallize at a higher density than their pure components. Comparing the melting scenario of many two- and three-component mixtures, we establish universal melting criteria: the solid and hexatic phases become unstable as the density of topological defects, respectively, overcomes ρ_{d,s}≃0.046 and ρ_{d,h}≃0.123.…”

Theoretical Modelling and Facile Synthesis of a Highly Active Boron-Doped Palladium Catalyst for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction by Vo Doan, Tat Thang, Wang, Jingbo, Poon, Kee Chun, Tan, Desmond Chun Long, Khezri, Bahareh, Webster, Richard David, Su, Haibin, Sato, Hirotaka

“…In fact, Pd-B, facile synthesized by an electroless deposition process, exhibits 2.2 times and 8.8 times higher specific activity and 14 times and 35 times less costly than commercial pure Pd and Pt catalysts, respectively. Another computational result is that the surface core level of Pd is negatively shifted by B doping, as confirmed by XPS, and implies that filling the density of states related to the anti-bonding of oxygen to Pd surfaces with excess electrons from B doping, weakens the O bonding to Pd and boosts the catalytic activity.…”
