The evolution and fate of waste plastics in landfills subject to physical and biochemical processes — implications for microplastics by Lu, Xuhong

“…In total, 7 leachate samples and 5 refuse samples from different MSW landfills were investigated. MPs were found in all the samples. The results indicate the identification of over 10 types of MPs in both refuse and leachate samples, with the majority of MPs were fragment-shaped MPs, exhibiting a size of less than 100 μm. …”

Hybrid sensor fusion for unmanned ground vehicle by Guan, Mingyang

“…Extensive experiments have been designed on several large datasets to validate that: 1) the proposed tracking framework is superior to enhance the robustness of tracking model, 2) the proposed two weight solvers can effectively find the optimal weight for each feature. As expected, the proposed two trackers indeed improve the accuracy and robustness compared to the state-of-the-art trackers. …”

Crossover from viscous fingering to fracturing in cohesive wet granular media: a photoporomechanics study by Meng, Yue, Li, Wei, Juanes, Ruben

“…We fabricate photoelastic spherical particles of diameter d = 2 mm, and make a monolayer granular pack with tunable intergranular cohesion in a circular Hele–Shaw cell that is initially filled with viscous silicone oil. We inject water into the oil-filled photoelastic granular pack, varying the injection flow rate, defending-fluid viscosity, and intergranular cohesion. …”

Nontrivial quantum oscillation geometric phase shift in a trivial band by Datta, Biswajit, Adak, Pratap Chandra, Shi, Li-kun, Watanabe, Kenji, Taniguchi, Takashi, Song, Justin Chien Wen, Deshmukh, Mandar M.

“…We observe that Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations of the quadratic band are shifted by a phase that sharply departs from the expected 2π Berry's phase and is inherited from the nontrivial Berry's phase of the linear band. We find this arises due to an unusual filling enforced constraint between the quadratic band and linear band Fermi surfaces. …”

Interface energetics and dynamics in organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites by Goh, Teck Wee

“…Firstly, the interface energetics of FAPbI3-based perovskites with organic charge extraction layers showed apparent upward band bending, but its origin is unexpectedly due to presence of δ-FAPbI3. This finding implicates solar cell operation as it causes inefficient extraction of photoexcited electrons to the PCBM. …”
