Hole array enhanced dual-band infrared photodetection by Suo, Fei, Tong, Jinchao, Chen, Xiren, Xu, Zhengji, Zhang, Dao Hua

“…Significant enhancements in absorption and photoelectric conversion efficiency are demonstrated in dual bands for unpolarized incidence. The enhancement factors of responsivity at room temperature under zero-bias are 1.12 and 1.33 for the near- and mid-infrared, respectively, and they are increased to 1.71 and 1.79 when temperature drops to the thermoelectric cooling temperature of 220 K. …”

Equalization by sub-band mint method for speech dereverberation by Xu, Guangyu.

“…In this sub-band MINT algorithm, the inverse filter is designed by using generalized discrete Fourier transformed (GDFT) filter-banks, where the full-band time-aligned RTFs are decomposed into equivalent sub-band filters prior to equalization. …”

The discovery of a conjugate system of faults in the Wharton Basin intraplate deformation zone by Singh, Satish Chandra, Hananto, Nugroho, Qin, Yanfang, Leclerc, Frederique, Avianto, Praditya, Tapponnier, Paul E., Carton, Helene, Wei, Shengji, Nugroho, Adam B., Gemilang, Wishnu A., Sieh, Kerry, Barbot, Sylvain

“…The deformation at well-defined, narrow plate boundaries depends on the relative plate motion, but how the deformation takes place within a distributed plate boundary zone remains a conundrum. This was confirmed by the seismological analyses of the 2012 great Wharton Basin earthquakes [moment magnitude (Mw) 8.6], which suggested the rupture of several faults at high angles to one another. …”

A Multi-satellite Perspective on “Hot Tower” Characteristics in the Equatorial Trough Zone by Pilewskie, J, Stephens, G, Takahashi, H, L’Ecuyer, T

“…The focus of this paper is to update this estimate using modern satellite observations, compare hot tower frequency and intensity characteristics to all deep convective cores that reach the upper troposphere, and document hot tower spatiotemporal variability in relation to precipitation and high cloud properties within the tropical trough zone (between 13 °S and 19 °N). Cloud vertical profiles from CloudSat and CALIPSO measurements supply convective core diameters and proxies for intensity and convective activity, and these proxies are augmented with brightness temperature data from geostationary satellite observations, precipitation information from IMERG, and cloud radiative properties from CERES. …”
