Exciton Dynamics and Anisotropy in 2D Metal Organochalcogenolate Semiconductors by Lee, Woo Seok

“…This showcases the richness of excitonic physics in these materials, which arises from their low-symmetry crystal structures. Finally, we show that the electronic and excitonic structure of AgSePh can be engineered through organic functionalization, resulting in giant excitonic anisotropy and a completely different absorption spectrum in 2D AgSePh-F₂(2,3). …”

Task allocation and scheduling for distributed job execution by Guan, Yitong

“…As a result, there are multiple choices for placing tasks that preserve data locality. Finally, we generalize AMF to such scenarios and define Generalized Aggregate Max-min Fairness (GAMF) which also requires the aggregate resource allocation across all sites to be max-min fair. …”

Water treatment using one-dimensional manganese oxide based materials by Zhang, Tong

“…Experimental results indicated that the adsorption and oxidation abilities of the MnO2 sphere were increased as compared to the 1D K-OMS-2 nanowires, and a dead-end microfiltration setup was also used to investigate the separability of the material. Finally, a novel free-standing nanofibrous microfiltration membrane was successfully assembled using hierarchical TiO2/K-OMS-2 nanocomposites, which was synthesized based on the 1D K-OMS-2 nanowires. …”

Fabrication of 3D microfeatures on thin metal foils using laser-induced shock pressure by Nagarajan, Balasubramanian

“…This significant difference in deformation mechanism with FPLSF is attributed to the concurrent reduction in plastic strain, strain rate and the inertia effects, resulting from the FPLSF process configuration. Finally, finite element analysis (FEA) of FPLSF is performed to study the deformation characteristics of metal foil and flexible pad. …”

Large-scale capacitive touch panels : sensor pattern design, sampling and interpolation by Akhtar, Humza

“…We apply various one dimensional, two dimensional and iterative subpixel interpolators for the case of a human finger covering more than one sensor in both row and column direction while touching the panel, and compare them with each other in terms of efficiency and accuracy. Finally, at the end, we propose a full framework for capacitive touch panel including an improved sensor, an efficient sampling algorithm and an accurate subpixel interpolator.…”

Le christianisme laïc de Pierre Bayle by Hooks, JM

“…Dans ses Pensées diverses (1682), Bayle utilise la doctrine du péché originel, et dans son Commentaire philosophique (1686), Bayle utilise la doctrine de l'imago Dei. Finalement, j'espère démontrer que c’est dans le contexte de l'État confessionnel que Bayle développe une théorie de la laïcité, stipulant qu’un État peut embrasser une religion dominante particulière, et dans un même temps, défendre les droits de tous les citoyens et permettre leur propre liberté d’expression religieuse dans l’espace public.…”
