Unravelling the degradation pathways and charging mechanism in the Li-O2 battery: the role of singlet oxygen by Zor, C

“…In the LOB literature, ¹O₂ is mainly detected and quantified using DMA, a ¹O₂ trap. Here, it is revealed that DMA can react with superoxide depending on the salt-solvent combination and DMAO₂, the reaction product of ¹O₂ with DMA, can degrade into by-products depending on the solvent environment. …”

Inhibition of endoplasmic reticulum stress using 4-phenyl butyrate mitigates osteoporosis in a mouse model of hindlimb suspension by Al-Daghestani, Hiba Saad Subhi

“…Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and osteocalcin (OC) expressions were downregulated, while cathepsin K (Cat K), Tartrate resistant Acid Phosphatase (TRAP), and sclerostin were upregulated. Taken together, these characteristics of bone reflect poorer mineralization, less collagen crosslinking, and a pro-inflammatory effect. …”

Joint PAPR Reduction and Physical Layer Security Enhancement in OFDMA-PON by Zhang, Wei, Zhang, Chongfu, Chen, Chen, Jin, Wei, Qiu, Kun

“…In encrypting, the in-phase (I) and quadrature-phase (Q) parts of the quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) symbols are coded with two phase sequences separately, which are generated using a 2-D logistic map. The encrypted OFDM symbols comprise an OFDM frame, and the frame with the minimum PAPR is transmitted to the optical network unit side. …”

Cross-Modal Deep Variational Hashing by Liong, Venice Erin, Lu, Jiwen, Zhou, Jie, Tan, Yap Peng

“…Unlike most existing cross-modal hashing methods which learn a single pair of projections to map each example into a binary vector, we design a deep fusion neural network to learn non-linear transformations from image-text input pairs, such that a unified binary code is achieved in a discrete and discriminative manner using a classification-based hinge-loss criterion. …”

An Energy-Efficient Digital ReRAM-Crossbar-Based CNN With Bitwise Parallelism by Ni, Leibin, Liu, Zichuan, Yu, Hao, Joshi, Rajiv V.

“…In this paper, we present a resistive random access memory (ReRAM)-accelerated CNN that can achieve significantly higher throughput and energy efficiency when the CNN is trained with binary constraints on both weights and activations, and is further mapped on a digital ReRAM-crossbar. We propose an optimized accelerator architecture tailored for bitwise convolution that features massive parallelism with high energy efficiency. …”

Hyperstability results for the general linear functional equation in non-Archimedean 2-Banach spaces by Shuja, Shujauddin, Embong, Ahmad Fadillah, Mohd. Ali, Nor Muhainiah

“…In fact, under some natural assumptions on control function Y: X × X × Y → [0, ∞) , we show that every map satisfying ||h(rx + sy) - Rh(x) - Sh(y), z||* = ≤ y(x, y, z), x, y ∈ z, ∈ Y, is hyperstable in the class of functions h: X → Y.…”
