Preparation and photocatalytic activities of Au-Fe2O3 hybrid nanoparticles by Chen, Hu.

“…For Au-Fe2O3, the sample prepared by PVP (polyvinylpyrrolidone, k value = 29-32) was selected for Au-Fe2O3 fabrication since this sample has the best photocatalytic performance. The second stage was the investigation on photocatalytic activities of the prepared samples. 5mg sample was dissolved in 10mL Methyl Orange with concentration of 5mg/L, which was then irradiated by a Xenon lamp (MAX 150W) for 4 hours; during the irradiation, 1.25mL sample was taken every 60 minutes for concentration detection. …”

Enhancement of novel water battery by surface additive treatment on porous media by Razali Mohamed Shariff

“…Through all the experimental runs and in depth analysis of the result, it is conclusive that the ultrasonic pre-treatment of the porous glass and surface treatment with 12 mM of (SDS) solution gives the best performance. The power density achieved is 3.08 W/m3 which an increase of 24.17% increase compared to porous glass that is not pre-treated with ultrasonic and without any surface treatment. …”

Heart sound analysis by Xu, Ran

“…In addition, according to the median differences for one parameter between two classes as well as their overlap areas, the parameters after PCA were reordered as a purpose to determine the best performed feature for classification. This proposed method had achieved an average accuracy of 90% for the classification with only the first 2 parameters chosen as feature vector and with noise injected.…”

NME proteins regulate class switch recombination by Zheng, Simin, Kusnadi, Anthony, Choi, Jee Eun, Vuong, Bao Q., Rhodes, Daniela, Chaudhuri, Jayanta

“…Interestingly, these NME proteins also display differential occupancy at S regions during CSR despite their homology; NME1 binds to S regions prior to stimulation, while NME2 binds to S regions only after stimulation. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the first report of a role for these proteins in the regulation of CSR.…”

Live projects: innovating in the present by Mitchell, Maurice, Tang, Bo

“…Whilst it is an accepted condition of mainstream practice that timescale, budget and brief are matched with intention and design before works starts on site, it is not at all clear that such a definitive bounding of the project is in the students’ best interest in a learning environment. This paper looks at the work of the Architecture of Rapid Change and Scarce Resources (ARCSR) research cluster, and assesses the relationship between boundary setting and changing intentions; speculating on the effect of changing intentions on the education of the student. …”

Expressions of Ionianness in the Roman period by Hallmannsecker, M

“…My aim is to complement studies of the extant literary sources – which have traditionally received the greatest share of attention – with analyses of the rich epigraphic and numismatic material from the Ionian cities, which are among the best-attested from the province of Asia. In doing so, I want to achieve a more holistic and nuanced picture, and I hope to contribute to further the understanding of Greek culture under the Roman Empire. …”

EXPRESS: beyond the pair: media archetypes and complex channel synergies in advertising by Bell, JJ, Thomaz, F, Stephen, AT

“…We find that there is not a systematically “best” media mix that correlates to dominant performance across all metrics, but clear patterns emerge given specific metrics. …”

Soft-finite-element-method-driven multiphysics airfoil optimization by Nguyen, VD, Naharro, P-S, Peña, J-M, Jerusalem, A

“…This framework simultaneously leverages exploration and exploitation without the need to know a priori which strategy is best fitted to the problem at hand. In this work, we first improve SoftFEM by replacing the original differential evolution by the so-called success-history-based adaptive differential evolution. …”
