The evolution and fate of waste plastics in landfills subject to physical and biochemical processes — implications for microplastics by Lu, Xuhong

“…Nonetheless, a substantial volume of plastics becomes plastic waste (PW), with a significant portion finding its way to landfills. Microplastics (MPs), a recently identified group of pollutants with dimensions below 5 mm, raise apprehensions about potential toxicity and their ability to transport other contaminants like heavy metals through adsorption and dissociation mechanisms. …”

Hybrid sensor fusion for unmanned ground vehicle by Guan, Mingyang

“…Extensive experiments have been designed on several large datasets to validate that: 1) the proposed tracking framework is superior to enhance the robustness of tracking model, 2) the proposed two weight solvers can effectively find the optimal weight for each feature. As expected, the proposed two trackers indeed improve the accuracy and robustness compared to the state-of-the-art trackers. …”

Methods of growth and transfer of carbon nanotubes onto substrates for advanced electrical and electronic applications by Ng, Zhi Kai

“…Subsequently, the influence of various growth parameters such substrate oxide thickness, amount of water vapor and etching time on efficiency of delamination was evaluated and optimized to yield wafer-scale free-standing VACNT, without requiring any form of mechanical handling. A significant key finding of the delamination study is that the SiO2 surface plays a crucial role for large scale self-delamination of VACNT. …”

Clustering-based solutions for energy efficiency, adaptability and resilience in IoT networks by Shivaraman, Nitin

“…We evaluate DeCoRIC on the Contiki simulation platform and compare it against state-of-the-art clustering solutions. We find that DeCoRIC improves the power efficiency of the network by at least 70% and extends its life- time by at least 42% over existing solutions while making the network adaptable and resilient to faults. …”
