Chemical and strain driven morphotropic phase boundaries in bismuth ferrite by Chen, Weigang

“…Unfortunately, mainstream piezoelectric materials all contain lead, a toxic element that is incompatible to the ever-growing demands for global environmental and ecological conservation. In the new wave of searching for lead-free replacements, BiFeO3 (BFO) rises as a promising candidate due to the existence of both chemical- and strain-driven MPBs. …”

Adaptive goal selection for agents in dynamic environments by Zhang, Huiliang, Luo, Xudong, Shen, Zhiqi, You, Jin, Miao, Chun Yan

“…More specifically, we first develop a reorganization algorithm that can convert a goal net to its equivalent counterpart that a Q-learning algorithm can operate on; then, we define the key component of Q-learning, reward function, according to the feature of goal nets; and finally lots of experiments are conducted to show that, in dynamic environments, the agent with the learning algorithm significantly outperforms the one with the recursive searching algorithm. Therefore, our work suggests an agent model that can effectively be applied in dynamic time-sensitive domain, like computer games and the P2P systems of online movie watching.…”
