New binders for Li-ion batteries by Peck, Steve Teck Wei

“…Herein, a comparison between conventional PVDF binder and new pectin binder was made in terms of cycling performance and rate capability. Since a silicon and graphene composite with carbon black and the chosen binder were used to synthesise the electrode slurry, the optimum silicon to graphene weight ratio for electrodes with the new pectin binder was also investigated. …”

Evaluation and fabrication of damaged composite material using non-destructive testing by Lai, Abigail Jang Wai

“…Composite materials are being used widely in many industries today, for example, in automotive, aviation, research and development, as well as in sports. Since composites are extensively employed in many areas, it is important to determine the existence of surface and sub-surface defects before production and during regular maintenance checks. …”

Recent developments in electrode materials for sodium-ion batteries by Wang, Luyuan Paul, Yu, Linghui, Wang, Xin, Srinivasan, Madhavi, Xu, Zhichuan Jason

“…In particular, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have received considerable attention ever since their early commercialization in 1990s. However, with initiatives by several governments to build large-scale energy grids to store energy for cities, problems such as the high cost and limited availability of lithium starts to become major issues. …”

Subsurface profiling using horizontal drilling indices for guided boring method by Khondoker, Md. Tareq Hossain, Yi, Yaolin, Bayat, Alireza

“…Therefore, contractors will often conduct GBM installations without performing a proper subsurface investigation, which may lead to unusual consequences for the project. Since GBM consists of an initial pilot tube installation with further borehole reaming, the drilling parameters during the pilot tube installation phase may be used for subsurface profiling, which helps operators select proper drilling tools for the next reaming stages. …”

MC-Fluid: Multi-core Fluid-based Mixed-Criticality Scheduling by Lee, Jaewoo, Ramanathan, Saravanan, Phan, Kieu-My, Easwaran, Arvind, Shin, Insik, Lee, Insup

“…We derive an exact schedulability test for this algorithm, and also present an optimal strategy for assigning the fractional execution rates to tasks. Since fluid-model based scheduling is not implementable on real hardware, we also present a transformation algorithm from fluid-schedule to a non-fluid one. …”

Efficient carrier-reuse for intensity modulation and direct detection passive optical networks with Rayleigh backscattering noise circumvention by Zhang, Xiaoling, Zhang, Chongfu, Chen, Chen, Jin, Wei, Qiu, Kun

“…In our proposed system, the number of light sources is halved since no extra light sources are required for the upstream (US) transmission, and the RB noise is eliminated without using any high cost ultra-narrow filter or coherent detection. …”

Attacks in Reality: The Limits of Concurrent Error Detection Codes against Laser Fault Injection by Breier, Jakub, He, Wei, Jap, Dirmanto, Bhasin, Shivam, Chattopadhyay, Anupam

“…A single-bit linear parity scheme is shown to be ineffective for error detection, since the LFI can typically flip multiple bits that are close to each other. …”

On linear complementary pairs of codes by Solé, Patrick, Carlet, Claude, Güneri, Cem, Özbudak, Ferruh, Özkaya, Buket

“…The same holds for a special class of quasi-cyclic codes, namely 2D cyclic codes, but not in general for all quasi-cyclic codes, since we have examples of LCP of double circulant codes not satisfying this conclusion for the security parameter. …”

Slip deficit in central Nepal: omen for a repeat of the 1344 AD earthquake? by Bollinger, L., Tapponnier, Paul, Sapkota, S. N., Klinger, Y.

“…Taking into account charcoal’s age inheritance, we revisit the timing of terrace offsets at key sites to compare them with the seismic record since 1200 AD. The location, extent, and moment of the 1833 and 2015 events imply that they released only a small part of the regional slip deficit on a deep thrust segment that stopped north of the Siwaliks. …”

Partial rupture of a locked patch of the Sumatra megathrust during the 2007 earthquake sequence by Konca, A. Ozgun, Avouac, Jean-Philippe, Sladen, Anthony, Meltzner, Aron J., Sieh, Kerry, Fang, Peng, Li, Zhenhong, Galetzka, John, Genrich, Jeff, Chlieh, Mohamed, Natawidjaja, Danny H., Bock, Yehuda, Fielding, Eric J., Ji, Chen, Helmberger, Don V.

“…Themoment released in 2007amounts to only a fraction both of that released in 1833 and of the deficit ofmoment that had accumulated as a result of interseismic strain since 1833. The potential for a largemegathrust event in theMentawai area thus remains large.…”

Range front faulting and volcanism in the mono basin, eastern California by Bursik, Marcus, Sieh, Kerry

“…For the past 40,000 years, dikes, intruding underneath the Mono Craters, seem to have been accommodating the 1 mm/yr of extension that was previously taken up by faulting. Since the basin is extending obliquely to the trend of the frontal faults, there is a component of dextral shear to their motion, so that the Mono Craters may be forming on an extensional boundary of a pull-apart basin. …”

The sustainable use of species-rich grasslands for forage and biogas production by French, K

“…Although they were once the foundation of livestock production systems, the agricultural use of these landscapes has rapidly declined since the ‘Green Revolution’ of the 1950s due to increased economic incentives to replace species-rich grasslands with agriculturally improved leys and arable fields. …”

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, Fernandez, LG, Walsby-Tickle, J, Deats, M, Mosca, S, Lin, Q, Banerjee, S, Chunekar, SR, Patil, KD, Gairola, S, Dunachie, S, Merchant, HA, Stokes, R, Kuwana, R, Maes, A, Charrier, J, Probert, F, Caillet, C, Matousek, P, McCullagh, J, Newton, PN, Zitzmann, N, Gangadharan, B

“…Vials tested by this approach could be retained in the supply chain since it is non-invasive. We also assessed whether MALDI-ToF MS could be used to distinguish the COVISHIELD™ vaccine from surrogates of falsified vaccines and the effect of temperature on vaccine stability. …”
