Comparative spatial predictions of the locations of soil-rock interface by Qi, Xiaohui, Pan, Xiaohua, Chiam, Kiefer, Lim, Yong Siang, Lau, Sze Ghiong

“…The spatial trend of the geological interface cannot be captured by the polynomial regression method with a relatively high (i.e., 10) order of the polynomial when faults and folds exist. Advantages of the spline regression method over the conditional random field methods include that (i) it provides a clear and explicit spatial trend of the SRI, which well reflects the geological complexity of the sites; (ii) it avoids the cumbersome estimation of random field parametric values, which is a challenging task under the condition of limited data; and (iii) it can differentiate the zones with different prediction accuracies, which cannot be accomplished by the conditional random field method due to limited data. …”

Fabrication and properties of oxide semiconductor nanowires by Shen, Youde

“…At last, we report the growth of kinked single-crystalline In2O3 nanostructures consisting of nanocone base and nanowire tip connected without any twin boundaries or stacking faults. During the tailored growth, when the diameter of gold catalyst nanoparticle at the apex of the nanocone shrunk to ~100 nm as a result of the gold atom migration, the growth direction switched from [111] to either [110] or [112], depending on the growth conditions. …”

Health monitoring, lifetimes estimation, and thermal management of IGBT-based power converters by Mohamed Halick Mohamed Sathik

“…This methodology protects a power devices from over current and short circuit current, and isolates the fault current from the rest of the system. The proposed short-circuit detection and protection circuit is compared with conventional gate-voltage clamping method, and results show that the proposed method aids in the soft shutdown of the IGBT, and considerably reduces the fault current and power dissipations compared to the conventional method.…”

History dependence of the microstructure on time-dependent deformation during in-situ cooling of a nickel-based single-crystal superalloy by Panwisawas, Chinnapat, D’Souza, Neil, Collins, David M., Bhowmik, Ayan, Roebuck, Bryan

“…Between 1000 °C and 900 °C, stress relaxation prevails and gives rise to softening as evidenced by a decreased dislocation density and the presence of long segment stacking faults in γ phase. Lattice strains decrease in both the γ matrix and γ′ precipitate phases. …”

Upper mantle rheology from GRACE and GPS postseismic deformation after the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake by Banerjee, Paramesh, Panet, I., Mikhailov, V., Diament, M., Grijalva, K., Pollitz, Fred F.

“…The observed GPS displacements and gravity variations are well explained by a model of viscoelastic relaxation plus a small amount of afterslip at the downdip extension of the coseismically ruptured fault planes. Our model uses a 60 km thick elastic layer above a viscoelastic asthenosphere with Burgers body rheology. …”

Conditional prosociality in development: deconstructing social and materialistic factors that modulate early prosocial behavior by Lee, Kristy Jia Jin

“…In the Transgression condition, the transgressor broke a clock and falsely accused the non-transgressor of the misdeed; in the Control condition, the clock broke through no fault of the actresses. Children reported the transgressor's misbehavior (thereby absolving the non-transgressor of misplaced blame), distributed resources more favorably to the non-transgressor, evaluated the transgressor less positively on moral goodness, and displayed a social preference for the non-transgressor. …”
