Conductive materials stimulated direct interspecies electron transfer and application in anaerobic digestion by Yan, Wangwang

“…The results indicated CM promoted organic degradation via promoting sludge conductivity, acting as electron conduit for interspecies electron transfer, enriching electron shuttles within EPS, and altering microbial community. However, the negative effects of CNT on high ammonia inhibited AD system also alerted that CM may disturb the energy transfer system and worsen inhibition on anaerobic microorganisms. …”

Modeling perception errors in autonomous vehicles and their impact on behavior by Piazzoni, Andrea

“…PEMs are directly integrated into the simulation pipeline and simulate a perception output by altering the ground truth, i.e., adding errors. I demonstrate their usefulness by both using hand-crafted PEMs, to inject controlled error, and data-driven PEMs, to test an actual sensing and perception system of an AV. …”

System design and development of human-robot interaction control scheme for assistive robotic Arm extender by Yang, Sibo

“…We hypothesize that the ARAE will enable patients to initiate and perform ADL tasks independently, improving muscular effects and abnormal postures, without altering the smoothness of motion. To achieve the stated objectives and hypotheses, this study first developed a robotic system, including both the mechanical and software components, to assist human upper limb movement in 3D space. …”
