Synthesis and characterization of silver nanoprism-based nanostructures by Mohammad Mehdi Shahjamali

“…The LSPR band of created core-shell nanoprism structures can be tuned in a wide range by controlling the Au shell thickness. On the other hand, the hollow cavity makes the encapsulation of materials of interest possible which candidates it for drug delivery, photothermal cancer therapy and other bioapplications.…”

Study of lithium-ion battery anodes based on silicon nanostructures by Fan, Yu

“…However, it is found that anodes based on bulk or micron-sized Si exhibit very poor cycling performance due to the structural pulverization caused by significant volume changes (upto 400%) of Si during Li+ insertion/extraction processes. On the other hand, nanostructured Si has been shown to alleviate this problem because it has a large portion of surface atoms that could effectively release internal strain through the surrounding space. …”

Smart material based on magnetorheological elastomer and its 3D printing by Bastola, Anil K.

“…The quality of the printed filaments strongly depends on the key printing parameters such as extrusion pressure, initial height, feed rate and time. Two different patterned were considered in this study, namely, line-patterned and dot-patterned 3D printed MR elastomers (3DP-MREs), line-patterned samples were formed by continuous printing while dot-patterned samples were formed by discontinuous printing. …”

Punching shear strength analysis of corroded reinforcement concrete slab by Fu, Yibin

“…Further, reinforcement cross section is progressively lost to corrosion, causing a decreasing in members flexural strength, decreasing in yield strength of reinforcement bars and reduction in ultimate elongation rate. Furthermore, the bond between reinforcement and surrounding concrete weakens, which critically affects bonding strength, thus the load transfer mechanism will be affected. …”

Modeling and coordination control of AC/DC hybrid microgrids by Zhang, Zhe

“…A system with high inertia, on the other hand, is expected because it can slow the dynamic response to frequency changes and reduce frequency deviations, avoiding large-scale blackouts or undesirable load-shedding due to frequency events or system contingencies. …”

Synaptic plasticity in VLSI : a floating-gate approach by Gopalakrishnan, Roshan

“…Each synapse is associated with a weight quantity, which determines the amplitude of output excitatory postsynaptic current (EPSC) pulse from the respective synapse to the interconnected neuron. Neurons on the other hand are the basic computational unit. It integrates all the incoming current pulses from different synapses and fires a spike, if the integration reaches a threshold. …”

Evolution PDEs on graphs and inverse problems in aggregation-diffusion equations by Mikolás, L

“…<p>This thesis contains contributions in two areas of research and is therefore divided into two parts. On the one hand we study evolution partial differential equations (PDEs) on graphs, and on the other, we address the inverse problem of learning interaction potentials in aggregation-diffusion equations.…”
