Human machine interface/brain control for electric vehicles application by Tang, Tao

“…Among different potential candidates, Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a promising approach by recording brain signals with the electrodes on the scalp and decoding the signaling with real-time brain signal processing. Since body movement is not required to generate the signaling, risks of distraction to the driver is minimized. …”

Design of a droop control scheme for programmable sources in a microgrid testbed by Lim, Liang Yuan, Krishnan, Ashok, Foo, Eddy Yi Shyh

“…Conversely, the programmable source does not have a power-frequency droop characteristic since it has no rotating parts. This paper demonstrates how the programmable source can be programmed to contain the power-frequency droop characteristics inherent to the synchronous generator. …”

Magneto-photoconductivity of three dimensional topological insulator bismuth telluride by Cao, Bingchen, Eginligil, Mustafa, Yu, Ting

“…On the other hand, the thicker sample shows no positive magneto-photoconductance up to 7 T since there is only one surface state at play. By fitting the magneto-photoconductivity data of the thicker sample to the localization formula, we obtain weak antilocalization behaviour at 4, 10, and 20 K, as expected; however, weak localization behaviour at 30 K, which is a sign of surface states masked by bulk states. …”

Mesoionic carbenes in low- to high-valent vanadium chemistry by Neururer, Florian R., Lyu, Shenyu, Leitner, Daniel, Baltrun, Marc, Fisher, Katherine R., Kopacka, Holger, Wurst, Klaus, Daumann, Lena J., Munz, Dominik, Hohloch, Stephan

“…A comparison of the structural (SC-XRD), electronic (UV–vis), and electrochemical (cyclic voltammetry) properties of 1 with the benzimidazolinylidene congener 2 (general formula [VOCl(L2)]) shows that the MIC is a stronger donor also for early transition metals with low d-electron population. Since electrochemical studies revealed both complexes to be reversibly reduced, the stronger donor character of MICs was not only demonstrated for the vanadium(V) but also for the vanadium(IV) oxidation state by isolating the reduced vanadium(IV) complexes [Co(Cp*)2][1] and [Co(Cp*)2][2] ([Co(Cp*)2] = decamethylcobaltocenium). …”

Methane precipitation in ice giant atmospheres by Toledo, D, Rannou, P, Irwin, PG, de Batz de Trenquelléon, B, Roman, M, Apestigue, V, Arruego, I, Yela, M

“…Stratospheric hazes made of ethane or acetylene ice are expected to evaporate completely before reaching the methane condensation level. Since hazes are required for methane heterogeneous nucleation, this suggests either a change in the solid phase properties of the haze particles, inhibiting evaporation, or the presence of photochemical hazes.…”

Identifying falsified COVID-19 vaccines by analysing vaccine vial label and excipient profiles using MALDI-ToF mass spectrometry by Arman, BY, Clarke, R, Bharucha, T, Gomez Fernandez, L, Walsby-Tickle, J, Deats, M, Mosca, S, Lin, Q, Banerjee, S, Chunekar, S, Patil, K, Gairola, S, Dunachie, S, Merchant, H, Stokes, R, Kuwana, R, Maes, A, Charrier, J-P, Probert, F, Caillet, C, Matousek, P, McCullagh, J, Newton, P, Zitzmann, N, Gangadharan, B

An aerodynamic investigation of a high-pressure turbine using rotor casing static pressure measurements at engine representative conditions with different tip designs, tip gaps and... by Singh, D, Beard, PF, Cardwell, D, Staelens, V, Bahulekar, P, Stokes, M, Bather, S, Chana, KS

“…If the rotor tip starts to erode, then the tip clearance increases which increases the over-tip leakage flow, resulting in reduced stage efficiency and ultimately, the engine lifetime. Since the 1970s, extensive research has been undertaken to understand the over-tip leakage flow, and develop mitigation strategies such as novel tip designs, to minimize the losses and heat load. …”
