Visual hull based 3D reconstruction of shocks in under-expanded supersonic bevelled jets by Lim, Desmond Haoxiang, New, Tze How, Mariani, Raffaello, Cui, Y. D.

“…When applied to bevelled jets with non-uniform nozzle exit geometries, an additional assumption was made to address the problem of schlieren line-of-sight blockage by the non-conventional nozzle, and reconstruction errors were found to be larger near regions of poorer shock wave contrast. Current results indicate that the technique is robust and fast during image calibration and processing, with accuracy of reconstructed shock waves in both conventional and non-conventional nozzles strongly dependent on shock wave contrast. …”

2D-3D perovskite memristor with low energy consumption and high stability for neural morphology calculation by Sun, Kaixuan, Wang, Qingrui, Zhou, Long, Wang, Jingjuan, Chang, Jingjing, Guo, Rui, Tay, Beng Kang, Yan, Xiaobing

“…A defect-modulated electron tunneling mechanism is demonstrated using the p-i-n junction model, and it is proven that the conductance state of the memristive device is determined by the defect concentration in the perovskite film near the electrode sides. In addition to the good memristive properties, this 2D-3D perovskite memristor can also function well as an artificial synapse, and its internal defect movement can faithfully simulate the inflow and extrusion of Ca2+ in biological synapses. …”
