Effects of electrode material and configuration on the characteristics of planar resistive switching devices by Cha, Dongkyu, David, A., Li, K., Wu, T., Peng, H. Y., Pu, L., Wu, J. C., Hong, J. H., Lin, W. N., Li, Y. Y., Ding, J. F.

“…Metals with different work functions (Ti and Pt) and their combinations are used to control the junction transport (either ohmic or Schottky-like). We find that the electric bias is effective in manipulating the concentration of oxygen vacancies at the metal/STO interface, influencing the RS characteristics. …”

Maternal separation does not produce a significant behavioral change in mice by Tan, Shawn, Ho, Hin San, Song, Anna Yoonsu, Low, Joey, Je, Shawn Hyunsoo

“…Previously, studies reported that maternal separation (MS) in the early postnatal stages triggers depression-and/or anxiety-like behaviors in rats. However, similar studies using mice have reported inconsistent behavioral outcomes. …”

Elucidation of thermally induced internal porosity in zinc oxide nanorods by Handoko, Albertus D., Liew, Laura-Lynn, Lin, Ming, Sankar, Gopinathan, Du, Yonghua, Su, Haibin, Dong, Zhili, Goh, Gregory Kia Liang

“…The pore volume growth rate is proportional to the heat treatment time, indicating that the process is diffusion controlled, akin to a reverse Ostwald ripening-like process. A manageable pore growth rate of 1.4–4.4 nm3·min−1 was observed at 540 °C, suggesting that the effective control over internal porosity can be achieved by carefully controlling the heat-treatment profile. …”

An image processing approach to feature-preserving B-spline surface fairing by Kawasaki, Taro, Jayaraman, Pradeep Kumar, Shida, Kentaro, Zheng, Jianmin, Maekawa, Takashi

“…This is inspired by the success of many recent research works on the use of normal field for reconstructing mesh models, and makes use of the impressive simplicity and effectiveness of bilateral-like filtering for image denoising. In particular, our approach adaptively partitions the B-spline surface into a set of segments such that each segment has approximately uniform parameterization, generates an image from each segment in the parameter space whose pixel values are the normal vectors of the surface, and then applies a bilateral filter in the parameter domain to fair the normal field. …”
