Topochemical manipulation of some complex transition metal oxides by Amano Patiño, ME

“…By quenching or slow-cooling the materials during their synthesis, the size of the crystalline domains formed is affected and this in turn is observed to define the extent to which the topochemical deintercalation of oxide anions takes place. …”

A study of air traffic management : wind optimization in the modern aviation by Lee, Jun Chin

“…Improving air route structures and optimizing them is an example of how fuel efficiency and thus impact on environment can be improved in a shorter term. …”

Control-oriented meta-learning by Richards, Spencer M., Azizan, Navid, Slotine, Jean-Jacques, Pavone, Marco

“…However, it is often difficult to specify such features a priori, such as for aerodynamic disturbances on rotorcraft or interaction forces between a manipulator arm and various objects. In this paper, we turn to data-driven modeling with neural networks to learn, offline from past data, an adaptive controller with an internal parametric model of these nonlinear features. …”

Toward Simulation-Free Estimation of Critical Clearing Time by Vu, Thanh Long, Al Araifi, Surour M., El Moursi, Mohamed S., Turitsyn, Konstantin

“…This simulation-free framework is based on bounding the fault-on dynamics and extending the recently introduced Lyapunov Function Family approach for transient stability analysis of structure-preserving model. In turn, a lower bound of the critical clearing time is obtained by solving convex optimization problems without relying on any time-domain simulations. …”

Designing (with) Trees: Active Agents in Architectural Production by Garinois, Laura-India

“…The exploration examines how a more nuanced collaboration with trees in design processes can enhance the value of architecture, and how design can in turn contribute to the protection of trees. Ultimately, the goal is to enrich tree hearing conversations by recognizing them as reflections of a larger climate conversation around trees and nature. …”

Seismic behavior of reinforced concrete columns with lightly transverse reinforcement by Muhammed Faizal Radzuan.

“…Shear degradation of a reinforced concrete column leads to a reduction in axial strength of the column. This in turn causes the design capacity of the reinforced concrete column to be lowered and excess gravitational load will be transferred to neighbouring structural elements. …”

Fashioning Sanyan Stories into contemporary written novellas —— With A Bird and Seven Lives as an example by Gu, Chunguang

“…However, these translation works have become obsolete as time has passed, and the complete translation of Sanyan at the turn of the twenty-first century is more of an academic effort than an attempt to attract a wide readership. …”
