Maneuvering angle rigid formations with global convergence guarantees by Chen, Liangming, Lin, Zhiyun, De Marina, Hector Garcia, Sun, Zhiyong, Feroskhan, Mir

“…Angle rigid multi-agent formations can simultaneously undergo translational, rotational, and scaling maneuvering, therefore combining the maneuvering capabilities of both distance and bearing rigid formations. However, maneuvering angle rigid formations in 2D or 3D with global convergence guarantees is shown to be a challenging problem in the existing literature even when relative position measurements are available. …”

Influence of operating parameters on morphology of laser hardened surfaces by Maharjan, Niroj, Zhou, Wei, Zhou, Yu, Wu, Naien

“…Laser transformation hardening is an attractive heat treatment technology which can be used to enhance the surface properties of highly stressed components such as cams, gears, and bearings without altering its bulk properties. The highly intense laser beam rapidly heats up the irradiated surface above its austenitization temperature which cools down instantaneously (self-quenching) as the laser moves away from the spot producing a hardened surface. …”

Novel bisisoquinolines : synthesis, resolution and application in asymmetric Henry reaction by Yao, Qiong Ji

“…(R)-N-alkyl-C1-1’,2’,3’,4’-terahydro-1,1’-bisisoquinoline differing in the steric bulkiness were successfully afforded to be examined in the asymmetric Henry reaction. The ligand bearing the smallest substituent was proved to be the most effective one in the CuI-catalyzed addition of nitromethane, nitroethane and nitropropane to aldehydes. …”

Carbon–cement supercapacitors as a scalable bulk energy storage solution by Chanut, Nicolas, Stefaniuk, Damian, Weaver, James C., Zhu, Yunguang, Shao-Horn, Yang, Masic, Admir, Ulm, Franz-Josef

“…Texture analysis reveals that the hydration reactions of cement in the presence of carbon generate a fractal-like electron-conducting carbon network that permeates the load-bearing cement-based matrix. The energy storage capacity of this space-filling carbon black network of the high specific surface area accessible to charge storage is shown to be an intensive quantity, whereas the high-rate capability of the carbon-cement electrodes exhibits self-similarity due to the hydration porosity available for charge transport. …”
