Multiplicity and transverse momentum dependence of charge-balance functions in pPb and PbPb collisions at LHC energies by Tumasyan, A., Adam, W., Andrejkovic, J. W., Bergauer, T., Chatterjee, S., Damanakis, K., Dragicevic, M., Escalante Del Valle, A., Hussain, P. S., Jeitler, M., Krammer, N., Lechner, L., Liko, D., Mikulec, I., Schieck, J., Schöfbeck, R., Schwarz, D.

“…The width of the balance functions decreases towards high-multiplicity collisions in the momentum region < 2 GeV, for pPb and PbPb results. Integrals of the balance functions are presented in both systems, and a mild dependence of the charge-balancing fractions on multiplicity is observed. …”

Quantifying the internal and external drivers of Southeast Asian rainfall extremes on decadal timescales by Wang, Shouyi, Ummenhofer, Caroline C., Murty, Sujata A., Nguyen, Hung T. T., Buckley, Brendan M.

“…Here we utilize the Community Earth System Model Last Millennium Ensemble (CESM-LME) to quantify the contributions of internal and external drivers to decadal-scale rainfall extremes in the Southeast Asia region. We find that internal variability was dominant in driving both Southeast Asian drought and pluvial extremes on decadal timescales although external forcing impacts are also detectable. …”

Edge curvature and convexity based ellipse detection method by Leung, Maylor Karhang, Cho, Siu-Yeung, Prasad, Dilip K.

“…The proposed method uses the information of edge curvature and their convexity in relation to other edge contours as clues for identifying edge contours that can be grouped together. A search region is computed for every edge contour that contains other edge contours eligible for grouping with the current edge contour. …”

Effect of OFF-state stress induced electric field on trapping in AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors on Si (111) by Anand, M. J., Ng, G. I., Arulkumaran, S., Manoj Kumar, C. M., Ranjan, K., Vicknesh, S., Foo, S. C., Syamal, B., Zhou, X.

“…Under high-EF, trapping spreads towards the gate-drain access region of the AlGaN barrier causing dyn-R DS[ON] degradation, whereas under low-EF, trapping is mostly confined under the gate causing ΔVth. …”

Red blood cell adhesion can be reduced by non-reactive macromolecules by Zhang, Zhengwen, Meiselman, Herbert J., Neu, Björn

“…Interpretation of our results in terms of the depletion model appears appropriate, in that our findings are consistent with the assumption that this reduction occurs because of an increase of small molecules in the depletion region. This study thus suggests that depletion interaction can control cell-cell interactions in complex environments (e.g., in vivo), and indicates that considering the interplay of all plasma constituents is important in order to understand the pathophysiology of diseases associated with cell adhesion and vascular complications.…”

Rhenium diselenide (ReSe2) near-infrared photodetector : performance enhancement by selective p-doping technique by Kim, Jinok, Heo, Keun, Kang, Dong-Ho, Shin, Changhwan, Lee, Sungjoo, Yu, Hyun-Yong, Park, Jin-Hong

“…The excellent photo and temporal responses, which generally show a trade-off relation, are achieved simultaneously by applying a p-doping technique based on hydrochloric acid (HCl) to a selected ReSe2 region. Because the p-doping of ReSe2 originates from the charge transfer from un-ionized Cl molecules in the HCl to the ReSe2 surface, by adjusting the concentration of the HCl solution from 0.1 to 10 m, the doping concentration of the ReSe2 is controlled between 3.64 × 1010 and 3.61 × 1011 cm-2. …”
