A variational master equation approach to quantum dynamics with off-diagonal coupling in a sub-Ohmic environment by Sun, Ke-Wei, Fujihashi, Yuta, Ishizaki, Akihito, Zhao, Yang

“…A master equation approach based on an optimized polaron transformation is adopted for dynamics simulation with simultaneous diagonal and off-diagonal spin-boson coupling. Two types of bath spectral density functions are considered, the Ohmic and the sub-Ohmic. …”

Computational and experimental study of a platinum thin-film based oil condition and contamination sensor by Sridhar, V, Chana, KS, Singh, D

“…The sensor is able to detect any form of contamination in oil and can be used for both off-line and on-line condition monitoring. The sensor is found to be quite sensitive and can detect extremely small concentrations of contaminants of the order 0.01 % by volume. …”

Magnetism in graphene oxide induced by epoxy groups by Lee, Dongwook, Seo, Jiwon, Zhu, Xi, Cole, Jacqueline M., Su, Haibin

“…Local density approximation calculation results well reproduce the magnetic moments obtained from experiments, and these results indicate that the unpaired spin induced by the presence of epoxy groups is the origin of the magnetism. …”

Tumor cell-intrinsic signals promoting tolerance and adaptation to oncogenic kinase inhibition by Flower, Cameron Timothy

“…Using commonly prescribed TK inhibitors (TKIs), I show that TK genetic status generally predicts whether or not a cell line will show any response to genotype-matched TKI (GM-TKI), but is insufficient to predict drug tolerance, the ability of a cell line to sustain proliferation under drug. …”

Mechanically robust hydrophobic bio-based epoxy coatings for anti-corrosion application by Zheng, Shunli, Bellido-Aguilar, Daniel Angel, Huang, Yinjuan, Zeng, Xianting, Zhang, Qichun, Chen, Zhong

“…The coating was fabricated by introducing superhydrophobic SiO 2 nanoparticles, a hydrophobic curing agent, and hexadecyltrimethoxysilane into an isosorbide-based epoxy resin via a one-step spin coating process. The coating exhibits high hydrophobicity with a water contact angle (CA) of 134 ± 3°. …”

Design and Development of an Accelerated Material Synthesis Platform for Automated Materials Research by Aissi, Eunice I.

“…X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and hyperspectral imaging measurements show equivalence between high-throughput synthesis and more traditional spin-coating methods. Results obtained through the high-throughput stability characterization method are aligned with stability trends reported in the literature and have an accuracy of 96.9% when compared to ground-truth degradation as measured by a domain expert.…”
