Optimal locally repairable codes via elliptic curves by Li, Xudong, Ma, Liming, Xing, Chaoping

“…In this paper, we make use of rich algebraic structures of elliptic curves to construct a family of q-ary optimal locally repairable codes of length up to q+2√(q). It turns out that locality of our codes can be as big as 23 and distance can be linear in length.…”

Temporal and Spatial Variations of the Solar Radiation Observed in Singapore by Jayaraman, Ramkumar, Maskell, Douglas Leslie

“…Thus, to properly understand the dynamic fluctuations observed in the output energies of large solar farms and PV arrays, it becomes necessary to perform a high-resolution temporal and spatial measurement of solar radiation. It turns out that performing such high-resolution measurements is often cost-prohibitive. …”

Sputtered PdO decorated TiO2 sensing layer for a hydrogen gas sensor by Lee, Jeong Hoon, Kwak, Seungmin, Lee, Jin-Hyung, Kim, Inho, Yoo, Yong Kyoung, Lee, Tae Hoon, Shim, Young-Seok, Kim, Jinseok, Lee, Kyu Hyoung

“…Using an in situ TiO2/Pd multilayer annealing process at 550°C for 1 hour, we observed that Pd turns into PdO by Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) depth profile and confirmed decorated PdO on TiO2 sensing layer from scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic-force microscope (AFM). …”

Surface molecular doping of all-inorganic perovskite using zethrenes molecules by Arramel, Pan, Hu, Xie, Aozhen, Hou, Songyan, Yin, Xinmao, Tang, Chi Sin, Hoa, Nguyen T., Muhammad D. Birowosuto, Wang, Hong, Dang, Cuong, Rusydi, Andrivo, Wee Andrew T. S., Wu, Jishan

“…The photoluminescence behavior of the underlying perovskites upon differing molecular doping conditions was examined. It turns out that the charge transfer dynamics of thermally-evaporated OZ-TIPS molecule exhibited a faster average lifetime than that of the HZ-TIPS case suggesting the importance of the biradical state in the former molecule. …”

Spatiotemporal-restricted A∗ algorithm as a support for lane-free traffic at intersections with mixed flows by Chi, Haifei, Cai, Pinlong, Fu, Daocheng, Zhai, Junda, Zeng, Yadan, Shi, Botian

“…First, we restrict the feasible area of the heuristic search algorithm by considering the feasible area and orientation of vehicles to maintain the trajectory directionality of different turning behaviors. Second, we propose a spatiotemporal sparse sampling method by defining the four-dimensional spatiotemporal grid to accelerate the execution of the heuristic search algorithm. …”

HiTrip: Historical trajectory interpolation for trawlers via deep learning on multi-source data by Zhao, Zhongning, Chen, Jiaxuan, Shi, Yuqi, Hong, Feng, Jiang, Guiyuan, Huang, Haiguang, Zhao, Jinhua

“…One inherent challenge for precise interpolation is the stark contrast between trawler movement patterns during steaming, characterized by straight lines, and fishing, which often involves consecutive turns. In this study, we introduce HiTrip, a deep learning approach that interpolates historical VMS data from two-hour intervals down to three minutes by harnessing both VMS and marine hydrological datasets. …”

Tectonics of the semi-permanent: Reassembling fit-out architecture by Schnitzler, Jenna

“…The uneven wearing that Bolton wrote about in 1911, appears again in the iconic shearing layers diagram from Frank Duffy and Stewart Brand, who make a very similar economic argument, demonstrating that the economically fast-wearing interior layer accumulates the most investment over time, rebuilt on a cycle of every 5-10 years. We are facing a turning point in building; as of 2020, over 35% of total construction activity is renovation work, and we are making increasingly rapid changes to building function. …”
