Public bus transit service modeling and optimization: from conventional to autonomous vehicles by Tian, Qingyun

“…In the first part, this thesis proposes a novel tri-level model for a transit service operation design problem that primarily determines the optimal bus line frequency setting. Unlike the existing studies, the strategy choices of passengers in presence of congested common lines are explicitly considered. …”

An integrated dual voltage loop control for capacitance reduction in CHB-based regenerative motor drive systems by Yang, Zezhou, Sun, Jianjun, Tang, Yi, Huang, Meng, Zha, Xiaoming

“…The inherent second-harmonic ripple power in a cascaded H-bridge (CHB)-based motor drive system poses the demand of large capacitors in the dc link of each cell. In this paper, an active power decoupling method based on negative sequence current injection and its corresponding dual voltage closed-loop control are proposed to solve this problem without adding any extra components. …”

Subnanometric osmium clusters confined on palladium metallenes for enhanced hydrogen evolution and oxygen reduction catalysis by Prabhu, P., Do, Viet-Hung, Yoshida, Takefumi, Zhou, Yingtang, Ariga-Miwa, Hiroko, Kaneko, Takuma, Uruga, Tomoya, Iwasawa, Yasuhiro, Lee, Jong-Min

“…Here, we leverage a facile heterostructure design strategy to construct atomically thin Os@Pd metallenes, with atomic-scale Os nanoclusters of varying geometries confined on the surface layer of the Pd lattice, which exhibit excellent bifunctional properties for catalyzing both hydrogen evolution (HER) and oxygen reduction reactions (ORR). Importantly, Os5%@Pd metallenes manifest a low η10 overpotential of only 11 mV in 1.0 M KOH electrolyte (HER) as well as a highly positive E1/2 potential of 0.92 V in 0.1 M KOH (ORR), along with superior mass activities and electrochemical durability. …”

Mid-Infrared optical absorber based on anisotropic black phosphorus and magnesium fluoride by Abdulkawi, Wazie M., Aladadi, Yosef T., Al-Moliki, Yahya Mohammed, Alresheedi, Mohammed Thamer, Mahdi, Mohd Adzir, Abas, Ahmad Fauzi, Ng, Eng Khoon

“…For TE polarization, the absorbance occurs at 9 μm with a value of around 8.5%. Rotating the unit cell to be out of phase by 90 degrees from the neighboring unit cell improved the low absorbance to 45%, and the absorbance peak shifted to 17 μm. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2024.…”
