Accelerated synthesis of Li(Ni0.8Co0.1Mn0.1)O2 cathode materials using flame-assisted spray pyrolysis and additives by Zhang, Jianan, Muldoon, Valerie L, Deng, Sili

“…Moreover, the current work demonstrated that the shortened post calcination was benefited from lithium-embedded particles that likely improved the uniformity of lithium distribution in as-synthesized powder. Therefore, carefully designing initial lithium distribution in particles prior to calcination could also be a useful strategy for other synthesis methods to shorten high-temperature calcination steps, leading to significant reductions in energy consumption and fabrication cost.…”

Domain Adversarial Convolutional Neural Network Improves the Accuracy and Generalizability of Wearable Sleep Assessment Technology by Nunes, Adonay S., Patterson, Matthew R., Gerstel, Dawid, Khan, Sheraz, Guo, Christine C., Neishabouri, Ali

“…Wearable accelerometers are widely used as an ecologically valid and scalable solution for long-term at-home sleep monitoring in both clinical research and care. In this study, we applied a deep learning domain adversarial convolutional neural network (DACNN) model to this task and demonstrated that this new model outperformed existing sleep algorithms in classifying sleep–wake and estimating sleep outcomes based on wrist-worn accelerometry. …”

Flow-through colorimetric assay for detection of nucleic acids in plasma by Ammanath, Gopal, Yeasmin, Sanjida, Srinivasulu, Yuvasri, Vats, Mukti, Cheema, Jamal Ahmed, Fairuz Nabilah, Srivastava, Rohit, Yildiz, Umit Hakan, Alagappan, Palaniappan, Liedberg, Bo

“…A logic gate system was developed to utilize the colorimetric assay responses as inputs for discrimination of mir21 and HBV-DNA and subsequently to obtain a profile of nucleic acids in samples that exceed respective clinical threshold limits, thereby enabling rapid and point of care (POC) disease diagnosis. Furthermore, the proposed methodology can be utilized for detection of a large number of nucleic acids in plasma by extending the array of PT impregnated membranes incorporated with their corresponding complementary PNAs.…”

An accurate spectral method for the transverse magnetic mode of Maxwell equations in Cole-Cole dispersive media by Huang, Can, Wang, Li-Lian

“…With this in mind, we introduce a spectral-Galerkin method using Fourier-like basis functions for spatial discretization, leading to a sequence of decoupled temporal integral-differential equations (IDE) with the same weakly singular kernel involving the ML function as the original two-dimensional problem. With a careful study of the regularity of IDE, we incorporate several leading singular terms into the numerical scheme and approximate much regular part of the solution. …”
