A signal through the noise: accurate determination of hydrogen atom positions in crystal structures and optimisation of Laue neutron diffraction methods by Sackman, GA

“…This focuses on:</p> <p>Recommendations for the efficient collection of Laue neutron data, in order to optimise the data set completeness and awarded beam-time; strategic considerations for how to best answer the scientific question(s) at hand in a Laue neutron experiment, whilst planning against future contingencies; improving methods for crystal packing and shipping, particularly for air and moisture sensitive materials; discussing issues arising from ice forming on the crystal during a Laue neutron diffraction experiment, and methods for minimising this problem; more effectively modelling disorder using ring shapes, in the crystallographic refinement package CRYSTALS; providing rationale for Laue neutron specific checkCIF comments.</p> <p>Alongside the aforementioned research projects, the relevant history and theory contextualising the crystallographic methods used is presented.…”

A random-key genetic algorithm-based method for transportation network vulnerability envelope analysis under simultaneous multi-link disruptions by Gu, Y, Ryu, S, Xu, Y, Chen, A, Chan, H-Y, Xu, X

“…Specifically, the TNVE problem can be formulated as a binary integer bi-level program (BLP), in which the upper-level problem maximizes/minimizes the remaining network performance under a given number of disrupted links, and the lower-level problem adopts the shortest path problem to check the post-disruption connectivity of each origin–destination (O-D) pair while circumventing the cumbersome path enumeration or path set pre-generation. …”

Integration of genetic data and genomic annotation in the analysis of genome wide association studies by Ng, E

“…To fine map these loci and assign functional annotation, I created Bayesian credible sets and checked for overlap between SNPs in these credible sets and regulatory marks in the Encyclopaedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) database. …”

On propagation characteristics of ultrasonic guided waves in helical strands by Zhang, Hongyan, Li, Jian, Jiang, Can, Chen, Shili, Fan, Zheng, Liu, Yang

“…Steel strands have been widely used in industrial fields as a reliable load-bearing component. Under the influence of environmental erosion and fatigue stress, different types of damage, such as corrosion and fracture, will occur in the in-service steel strands, which will cause unpredictable loss of personnel and property. …”

Maneuvering angle rigid formations with global convergence guarantees by Chen, Liangming, Lin, Zhiyun, De Marina, Hector Garcia, Sun, Zhiyong, Feroskhan, Mir

“…Angle rigid multi-agent formations can simultaneously undergo translational, rotational, and scaling maneuvering, therefore combining the maneuvering capabilities of both distance and bearing rigid formations. However, maneuvering angle rigid formations in 2D or 3D with global convergence guarantees is shown to be a challenging problem in the existing literature even when relative position measurements are available. …”

Influence of operating parameters on morphology of laser hardened surfaces by Maharjan, Niroj, Zhou, Wei, Zhou, Yu, Wu, Naien

“…Laser transformation hardening is an attractive heat treatment technology which can be used to enhance the surface properties of highly stressed components such as cams, gears, and bearings without altering its bulk properties. The highly intense laser beam rapidly heats up the irradiated surface above its austenitization temperature which cools down instantaneously (self-quenching) as the laser moves away from the spot producing a hardened surface. …”

Artificial Intelligence and the US-China Balance of Power by Chang, Benjamin Angel

“…Finally, the third essay exploits supply chain datasets to assess each side’s ability to bring AI-enabled autonomous weapons to bear in future conventional conflicts. I find that control over the production of advanced AI chips by the United States and allies almost certainly means the United States would better exploit such weapons, if they emerged as decisive in modern warfare, within at least the next ten years. …”
