A first study of compressive sensing for side-channel leakage sampling by Ou, Changhai, Zhou, Chengju, Lam, Siew-Kei

“…This paper undertakes the first study to show that effective leakage sampling can be achieved without relying on sophisticated equipments through Compressive Sensing (CS). As long as the information is leaked in the low frequency component, CS can obtain low-dimensional samples by simply projecting the high-dimensional signals onto the observation matrix. …”

Carbon–metal compound composite electrodes for capacitive deionization : synthesis, development and applications by Tang, Kexin, Hong, Terence Zhi Xiang, You, Liming, Zhou, Kun

“…This requires electrodes to have a large desalination capacity, high charge efficiency and long-term stability. However, the development of pristine carbon materials has hit a bottleneck due to their structural properties (e.g., limited surface area) and adsorption mechanism (i.e., electrosorption). …”

Breakup of ultra-thin liquid films on vertical fiber enhanced by Marangoni effect by Ding, Zijing, Liu, Zhou, Liu, Rong, Yang, Chun

“…Linear stability analysis shows that the Rayleigh-Plateau instability is enhanced by the long-range attractions and Marangoni effect. The spatial-temporal stability analysis shows that the instability is absolute when A + M > 0.17 (A is a composite Hamaker number accounting for the strength of van der Waals attractions and M is the Marangoni number). …”
