Work function engineering of electrodes via electropolymerization of ethylenedioxythiophenes and its derivatives by Fang, Wenjing

“…Fine-tuning the work function of the electrode is critical to enhance the carrier injection across semiconductor-electrode contact, improving the performance of devices.In this experiment, the work functions Au and indium-tin-oxide (ITO) can be modified by surface-electropolymerization using ethylenedioxythiophenes (EDOT) or its derivatives. …”

Human detection based on a probabilistic assembly of robust part detectors by Mikolajczyk, K, Schmid, C, Zisserman, A

“…</p> <br> <p>The detection algorithm is very efficient as (i) all part detectors use the same initial features, (ii) a coarse-to-fine cascade approach is used for part detection, (iii) a part assembly strategy reduces the number of spurious detections and the search space. …”

Experimental and numerical studies of S960 ultra-high strength steel welded I-section columns by Su, Andi, Liang, Yating, Zhao, Ou

“…A testing programme, including initial geometric imperfection measurements and ten pin-ended column tests, was conducted. The testing programme was accompanied by a numerical modelling programme, where finite element models were firstly developed and validated against the test results, and then employed to perform parametric studies to generate further numerical data. …”

Multi-Agent cubature Kalman optimizer: A novel metaheuristic algorithm for solving numerical optimization problems by Zulkifli, Musa, Zuwairie, Ibrahim, Mohd Ibrahim, Shapiai

“…MACKO is evaluated on the CEC 2014 benchmark suite with 30 optimization problems, and its performance is compared with nine existing metaheuristic algorithms. Simulation results demonstrate that MACKO is superior, outperforming the benchmark algorithms, as indicated by Friedman's test with a 5 % significance level.…”

Pumice cone eruptions at Aluto volcano, Ethiopia by Clarke, Ben, Calder, Eliza S., Fontijn, Karen, Desalegn, Firawalin, Tierz, Pablo, Yirgu, Gezahegn

“…Aluto volcano (Ethiopia) provides an unprecedented insight into the hazardous nature of these enigmatic eruptions. We investigate nine such pumice cones, and find that they are the product of moderate-intensity explosive eruptions that develop a sustained but unsteady eruption column, deposit lapilli- to block-sized tephra close to the vent forming pumice cones, can deposit distal tephra from an umbrella cloud, produce pyroclastic density currents by repeated partial column-collapse, and end with the emplacement of silicic lava. …”
