Synthesis of lead selenide (PbSe) quantum dots for photovoltaic applications by Yang, Shuai

“…PbSeO3 phase was present in X-ray Diffraction (XRD) patterns that suggested the PbSe had low stability due to lack of capping agent. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) results confirmed that the particle size increased with increasing water to surfactant ratio, and UV-vis NIR Absorption Spectra of the PbSe quantum dots showed a red shift also with increasing water to surfactant ratio, the corresponding band gap was more than 1eV, which was larger than that of bulk PbSe.…”

A Hybrid Active Contour and Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm for Segmenting Mixed-Meal Food Images (S/O: 13239) by Harun, Nor Hazlyna, Mahmuddin, Massudi, Harun, Hazaruddin

“…In addition, a modified active contour method is presented in this paper using the artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm to optimize the weights of the external energy function in the original active contour (AC) method. A stopping method is also introduced to the active contour method, wherein the snake movement of the contour will stop after a certain number of unimproved snake movements. …”

Exponential tail local Rademacher complexity risk bounds without the Bernstein condition by Kanade, V, Rebeschini, P, Vaškevičius, T

“…Our results apply to improper prediction regimes not directly covered by the classical theory, such as optimal model selection aggregation for arbitrary classes (including infinite and non-convex classes), and early-stopping/iterative regularization; the Bernstein condition does not hold in both examples.…”

An iGlu receptor antagonist and its simultaneous use with an anticancer drug for cancer therapy by Luo, Zhong, Li, Peizhou, Tan, Si Yu, Ang, Chung Yen, Nguyen, Kim Truc, Zhao, Yanli

“…Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) were employed as the delivery vehicle for both L1 and Dox by conjugating the iGlu receptor antagonist on the surface and encapsulating Dox within the mesopores. Dox was then trapped within the mesopores by functionalizing a redox-cleavable capping group on the MSNP surface, and it could be released upon exposure to the reductive glutathione. …”
