Design and investigation of block copolymers for dispersion of carbon nanotubes in polymer matrices by Liu, Chengyin

“…To further improve the tensile properties of the SWNTs/epoxy nanocomposites, we fabricated another series of PI-derived block copolymers via ring-opening polymerization initiated from hydroxyl-terminated polyimide of lactide and allyl-bearing 2-methyl-2-(allyloxycarbonyl)propylene carbonate) (MAC) to produce PLA-b-PI-b-PLA (TB1) and PMAC-b-PI-b-PMAC (TB2) which are polyester and poly(ester-carbonate)-derived, respectively. …”

Ritual speech, performativity, and modality by Frangulov, AM

“…The present work provides frameworks for thinking about performative utterances which are not solely of the form first person, present, active.. etc. Centering the account of performative utterances on what they aim to achieve rather than what they tangibly bring into the world, has led to a more compelling account of what the utterances do. …”

Common visual pattern discovery and analysis by Wang, Zhenzhen

“…However, to distinguish visual patterns from one another is fundamental to many tasks in computer vision, such as pattern recognition/classification, object detection/localization, content-based image search. This thesis centers on task-driven common pattern discovery problems and designs several methods based on the characteristics of each task. …”

Standalone immersion cooling for high performance servers by Liang, Wayne

“…This study is to develop an alternative cooling method for data centers, addressing the challenges that arises with the use of traditional air conditioning systems that requires high energy consumption and with a lack of scalability to meet the growing demand for more data centres which is projected to expand at a rate of 21.98% from 2021 to 2026. …”

Synthesis of epoxidized poly(ester carbonate)-b-polyimide-b-poly(ester carbonate) : reactive single-walled carbon nanotube dispersants enable synergistic reinforcement around multi... by Liu, Bo, Liu, Chengyin, De Luca, Hugo G., Raman Pillai, Suresh Kumar, Anthony, David B., Li, Jianghua, Bismarck, Alexander, Shaffer, Milo S. P., Chan-Park, Mary Bee Eng

“…Herein, PI-derived block copolymers are synthesized via ring-opening copolymerization of lactide (LA) (a control monomer) and allyl-bearing 2-methyl-2-(allyloxycarbonyl)-propylene carbonate (MAC) from the OH-terminal ends of the PI block to produce PLA-PI-PLA (TB1, a control) and PMAC-PI-PMAC (TB2). …”

Unified quantum theory of electrochemical kinetics by coupled ion–electron transfer by Bazant, Martin Z.

“…The probability distribution of transferring electron energies in CIET smoothly interpolates between a shifted Gaussian distribution for ECIT (as in the Gerischer–Marcus theory of ET) to an asymmetric, fat-tailed Meixner distribution centered at the Fermi level for ICET. The latter may help interpret asymmetric line shapes in x-ray photo-electron spectroscopy (XPS) and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) for metal surfaces in terms of shake-up relaxation of the ionized atom and its image polaron by ICET. …”

Distributed multilevel storage infrastructure for visual surveillance in intelligent transportation networks by Chih, Wei Ling

“…By assuming that the network is static over a window of time, we design an algorithm to construct a deterministic network code that sets up the multicast connections from the source processes to destinations (either storage helpers or data centers) for every feasible solution satisfying the set of graph-theoretic-constraints in the LO model to deal with the networks at small to medium scales. …”
