The formation of a carbon nanotube–graphene oxide core–shell structure and its possible applications by Dong, Xiaochen, Xing, Guichuan, Chan-Park, Mary B., Shi, Wenhui, Xiao, Ni, Wang, Jing, Yan, Qingyu, Sum, Tze Chien, Huang, Wei, Chen, Peng

“…Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and electrical characterization suggest that SWCNTs are completely wrapped by GO nano-sheets. The spontaneous formation of such a core–shell structure is due to the strong pi–pi stacking interaction between the two materials. …”

RoughPy: streaming data is rarely smooth by Morley, S, Lyons, T

“…RoughPy is our new Python package that aims change the way we think about sequential streamed data, by viewing it through the lens of rough paths. In RoughPy, data is wrapped in a stream object which can be composed and queried to obtain signatures that can be used in analysis. …”

On the class S origin of spindle solutions by Bomans, P, Couzens, C

“…We analyse the backreacted geometry corresponding to a stack of M5-branes wrapped on a spindle, with a view towards precision tests of the dual $\mathcal{N}$ = 1 superconformal field theory. …”

Curing kinetics of epoxies by thermal and alternative radiation in the application of fibre-reinforced composites by Ng, Feng Lin.

“…Therefore, the removal of the gel time constraints could lead to improved laminate quality; for example, there is more time for precise fibre placement and orientation, complete fibre wetting and the removal of entrapped air. The aim of this project is to study the feasibility of employing radiation curing in the fabrication of glass fibre reinforced composites using epoxy based matrices. …”

A conceptual paper on action research in job satisfaction and turnover intention for a chinese property company by Xue, Fu, Teo, Poh Chuin, Ho, Theresa C. F., Choo, Ling Suan, Tan, Jun Wei

“…Following, this paper also covers the research design and methods aspects, and wrapped up with a conclusion.…”

3D profilometry for turbine blade shape profiling by Koh, Hoe Jyh.

“…The fringe patterns captured by a CCD camera are then analyzed with phase shifting method to retrieve the wrapped phase map. This is followed by temporal phase unwrapping to obtain the unwrapped phase map, which is then paired with calibration parameters to obtain the final 3D result. …”

Study of zero Poisson’s ratio honeycomb composite structure by Chia, Yingxue

“…By using zero Poisson’s ratio honeycomb structure, it may relieve problems of fitting into “out of plane” structures into the desired product shape, allowing the honeycomb sandwich panels to wrap around 2D curved surfaces without geometric trimming and comprising mechanical properties. …”

High cycle fatigue behavior of 316L stainless steel manufactured via directed energy deposition with varying laser energy by Boey, Kai Jun

“…Results have shown that volume fraction of porosity reduces monotonously with increasing laser energy, accompanied by a transition in porosity category from lack of fusion defects to gas-entrapped porosity. Rotating bending fatigue (RBF) tests were performed on all these blocks to explore high cycle fatigue (HCF) behaviors of samples containing different microstructures. …”

Perspective: bonding and electronic origin of Au atomic-undercoordination-derivacy and nanoscale-size-dependency by Sun, Changqing

“…Systematic analysis of the electron emission spectra of XPS and STM/S of the undercoordinated gold atoms revealed that the 4f and 5d bands undergo quantum entrapment while the 6s level is subject to localization and polarization because of the undercoordination-induced local bond contraction and bond strength gain – named bond order-length-strength correlation and nonbonding electron polarization (BOLS-NEP). …”

Scalable cascade inference for semantic image segmentation by Sturgess, P, Ladický, L, Crook, N, Torr, PHS

“…In this paper we propose meeting this requirement by performing cascaded inference that wraps around the a-expansion algorithm. The cascade both divides the large label set into smaller more manageable ones by way of a hierarchy, and dynamically subdivides the image into smaller and smaller regions during inference. …”

Multiparametric approach for the evaluation of lipid nanoparticles for siRNA delivery by Alabi, Christopher A., Sahay, Gaurav, Yin, Hao, Luly, Kathryn M., Anderson, Daniel Griffith, Love, Kevin T, Langer, Robert S

“…Our results indicate that evaluation of multiple parameters associated with barriers to delivery such as siRNA entrapment, pK[subscript a], LNP stability, and cell uptake as a collective may serve as a useful prescreening tool for the advancement of LNPs in vivo. …”
