Pnictogen-halide semiconductors for photovoltaics by Liu, P

“…I obtained pinhole-free morphology through hot-casting at 110 °C and chlorobenzene antisolvent treatment during spin coating, but the power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) obtained for these devices were still poor. …”

Study on mechanism and influential factors of progressive collapse resistance of base-isolated structure by Bao, Chao, Zhang, Yuhang, Lv, Dahai, Wang, Huxiang, Ma, Xiaotong, Cao, Jixing, Lim, Kar Sing

“…The results show that the non-uniformity of the beams and the concentrated loading at the nodes were easy to form a linear catenary mechanism, resulting in more severe beam end damage than mid-span damage. In the case of side isolation bearing failure, due to the lack of sufficient lateral restraint, the capacity was significantly lower than other conditions, which were more likely to cause partly collapse. …”

Degradation Mechanisms and Applications in Ion Intercalation Materials by Zhuang, Debbie

“…These particles control the crucial processes for energy storage in macroscopic devices, generating a process spanning multiple length and time scales in LiBs. However, despite the ubiquitous application of LiBs in many industries, degradation limits their lifespan, hindering their broader applicability in usages demanding high energy density and extended lifespans, such as electric vehicles (EVs). …”

Semantic matching in machine reading comprehension: an empirical study by Liu, Qian, Mao, Rui, Geng, Xiubo, Cambria, Erik

“…Matching coarse-grained context to questions, e.g., paragraphs, is more effective than matching fine-grained context, e.g., sentences and spans. We also find that semantic matching is helpful for answering who/where/when/what/how/which questions, whereas it decreases the MRC performance on why questions. …”

Experimental and numerical investigation on precast CECFST column-to-column connections subjected to axial and eccentric compression by Zhu, Gaoming, Tan, Kang Hai

“…This form of structural members has been increasingly used as columns in high-rise buildings and as piers in long-span bridges. Recently, to promote the application of CECFST columns in countries short of labour, e.g., Singapore, North America and Europe, an advanced precast CECFST column-to-column connection with rapid construction and excellent tensile performance was developed by the authors. …”
