Continuous thermally regenerative electrochemical systems for directly converting low-grade heat to electricity by Li, Xiaoya, Li, Jia, Yun, Jeonghun, Wu, Angyin, Gao, Caitian, Lee, Seok Woo

“…In this system, two identical electrochemical cells operating at different temperatures are combined in a unit; thus, electricity can be generated continuously by periodically alternating between two temperatures. This concept is mainly demonstrated with a copper hexacyanoferrate cathode and a Cu/Cu2+ anode, with this system achieving an energy conversion efficiency of 1.76% (14.19% of Carnot efficiency) when operated between 10 and 50 °C without heat recuperation effects. …”

Coion exclusion properties of cation exchange membranes in 2:1 divalent salt solutions by Lim, Zheng Jie, Kho, Marcus, Toh, William, Chen, Xiao, Goh, K. B.

“…Our findings highlight the importance of coion condensation, especially in low-concentration salt conditions where coions are mainly condensed. This effect becomes less significant as the external solution concentration rises. …”

MAAD: A Model and Dataset for "Attended Awareness" in Driving by Gopinath, Deepak, Rosman, Guy, Stent, Simon, Terahata, Katsuya, Fletcher, Luke, Argall, Brenna, Leonard, John

“…We define attended awareness to be those parts of a potentially dynamic scene which a person has attended to in recent history and which they are still likely to be physically aware of. Our model takes as input scene information in the form of a video and noisy gaze estimates, and outputs visual saliency, a refined gaze estimate, and an estimate of the person's attended awareness. …”

Spectral, spatial, and temporal characteristics of underwater ambient noise in the Beaufort Sea in 1994 and 2016 by Chen, R., Poulsen, A., Schmidt, H.

“…Spectral comparison shows noise within 20–350 Hz is ∼30 dB louder in 1994 than 2016; however, this is likely due to higher array self noise during SIMI94. …”

The role of online media in mobilizing large-scale collective action by Chen, Zhuo, Oh, Poong, Chen, Anfan

“…The results showed that messages generated by users who occupied peripheral positions (i.e., lower k-coreness) and by those connecting others within closed communities (i.e., lower brokerage) were more likely to diffuse than those generated by central users or those who bridged different communities. …”

Self-Assembly of Semiconducting Polymer Amphiphiles for In Vivo Photoacoustic Imaging by Xie, Chen, Zhen, Xu, Lei, Qunli, Ni, Ran, Pu, Kanyi

“…Despite the advantages of semiconducting polymer nanoparticles (SPNs) over other inorganic nanoparticles for photoacoustic (PA) imaging, their synthetic method is generally limited to nanoprecipitation, which is likely to cause the issue of nanoparticle dissociation. …”
