Modeling of plasma motion in a toroidal solenoid by Tu, Yuqiang.

“…Filtered Cathodic Vacuum Arc (FCVA) deposition technique has received extensive attention recently due to its unique feature: vacuum arc is generated at one end of a toroidal solenoid filter, in which those ions and electrons in the arc follow the force line of the magnetic field and pass through, while those neutral particles moving in straight lines are filtered away, and a "purified" plasma is obtained at the other end. …”

Enhancing fouling mitigation of submerged flat-sheet membranes by vibrating 3D-spacers by Tan, Yong Zen, Mao, Ziming, Zhang, Yanjun, Tan, Wen See, Chong, Tzyy Haur, Wu, Bing, Chew, Jia Wei

“…Both simulation and experimental results revealed that the wave-like spacer (groove direction vertical to spacer movement direction) could alleviate more membrane fouling than the other designed spacers (e.g., hill-like spacer, wave-like spacer with groove direction parallel to spacer movement direction), regardless of tested permeate fluxes. …”

Principled asymmetric boosting approaches to rapid training and classification in face detection by Pham, Minh Tri

“…Asymmetric boosting, while acknowledged to be important to imbalanced classification problems like face detection, is often based on the trial-and-error methodology to obtain the best boosted classifier, rather than on principled methods. …”

The rheology of saltwater taffy by Chan, San To, Haward, Simon J., Fried, Eliot, McKinley, Gareth H.

“…As a sufficiently high frequency is exceeded, taffy transitions from a critical gel-like state to an elastic solid-like state. The master curve can be described by the fractional Maxwell gel (FMG) model with three parameters: a plateau modulus, a characteristic relaxation time, and a power-law exponent. …”

A Verified Compiler for a Functional Tensor Language by Liu, Amanda, Bernstein, Gilbert, Chlipala, Adam, Ragan-Kelley, Jonathan

“…Producing efficient array code is crucial in high-performance domains like image processing and machine learning. It requires the ability to control factors like compute intensity and locality by reordering computations into different stages and granularities with respect to where they are stored. …”

Multi-bounce Returns for Specular Surface Mapping from Consumer-grade Flash LiDAR by Lin, Tsung-Han

“…Traditional LiDAR systems typically assume that all returns are single-bounce, which can lead to inaccurate representations of specular surfaces like mirrors or glass, often causing them to appear as though there is a hole. …”

De novo-designed β-sheet heme proteins by D'Souza, Areetha, Bhattacharjya, Surajit

“…By contrast, there are only a few known β-sheet proteins that bind heme and designs of β-sheets frequently result in amyloid-like aggregates. This review reflects on our success with designing a series of multi-stranded β-sheet heme binding peptides that are well folded both in aqueous and membrane-like environments. …”

Comprehensive insights into Sitobion avenae preferences and performance on Pakistan’s wheat cultivars leading to identification of potential RNAi targets by Mukhtar, Ruhma, Afzal, Eijab, Noureen, Rabia, Zeeshan, Nadia, Afroz, Amber

“…Sitobion avenae, a notable hemipteran pest, poses a significant economic threat to Triticum aestivum due to its short generation times and high reproductive rates. Challenges like the development of insecticide resistance, the limited impact of insecticidal genes, and associated risks led to seeking a more precise approach like RNA interference. …”
