Study on process parameter optimization for electron beam melting additive manufacturing by Wang, Chengcheng

“…In contrast, the samples built from coarse powders (nominal size ~ 45 - 106 μm) show near-equiaxed-grain microstructure and isotropy in tensile testing, leading to higher tensile strength (ultimate tensile strength of 634.1 ± 8.6 MPa) and ductility (elongation of 62.8 ± 4.6%) than most of their AM-built counterparts. …”

K., Chen, Po-Yen, Loke, Weiqiang, Lim, Chwee Teck, Chiang, Grace Shu Hui, Tan, Boon Yeow, Li, Hao, Becker, David Laurence, Ho, John S.

“…The engineered DNA hydrogels respond selectively to deoxyribonucleases associated with pathogenic bacteria through tunable dielectric changes, which can be wirelessly detected using near-field communication. In a mouse acute wound model, we demonstrate that the wireless sensor can detect physiologically relevant amounts of Staphylococcus aureus even before visible manifestation of infection. …”

Combinatorial algorithms for scheduling jobs to minimize server usage time by Ren, Runtian

“…This competitive ratio closely matches a known lower bound µ on the competitiveness of any deterministic online algorithm and shows that First Fit packing is near optimal. In the clairvoyant online setting, we establish a lower bound of Ω (log µ / log log µ)^1/2 on the competitive ratio of any deterministic online algorithm. …”

Influence of Si nanocrystal distributed in the gate oxide on the MOS capacitance by Zhao, P., Yang, X. H., Ng, Chi Yung, Chen, Tupei, Ding, Liang, Yang, Ming, Wong, Jen It, Tse, Man Siu, Trigg, Alastair David, Fung, Stevenson Hon Yuen

“…Two different nc-Si distributions, i.e., partial and full nc-Si distributions in the gate oxide, have been considered. The MOS capacitance obtained from the modeling has been compared to the capacitance measurement for a number of samples with various gate-oxide thicknesses, implantation energies and dosages, and an excellent agreement has been achieved for all the samples. …”
