A signal through the noise: accurate determination of hydrogen atom positions in crystal structures and optimisation of Laue neutron diffraction methods by Sackman, GA

“…This focuses on:</p> <p>Recommendations for the efficient collection of Laue neutron data, in order to optimise the data set completeness and awarded beam-time; strategic considerations for how to best answer the scientific question(s) at hand in a Laue neutron experiment, whilst planning against future contingencies; improving methods for crystal packing and shipping, particularly for air and moisture sensitive materials; discussing issues arising from ice forming on the crystal during a Laue neutron diffraction experiment, and methods for minimising this problem; more effectively modelling disorder using ring shapes, in the crystallographic refinement package CRYSTALS; providing rationale for Laue neutron specific checkCIF comments.…”

Vision based control for mobile robot by Siah, Clarence Jun Da

“…Through the experiment, bumper sensor performed well for evading the obstacle based on the suggested obstacle avoidance scheme. On the other hand, the distance estimation error was bound to increase over the time up to 13.81cm and caused some unpredictable errors. …”

Experimental observation of optical Weyl points and Fermi arc-like surface states by Chong, Yi Dong, Chen, Kevin P., Rechtsman, Mikael C., Noh, Jiho, Huang, Sheng, Leykam, Daniel

“…Weyl fermions are hypothetical two-component massless relativistic particles in three-dimensional (3D) space, proposed by Hermann Weyl in 1929. Their band-crossing points, called ‘Weyl points’, carry a topological charge and are therefore highly robust. …”

System-level design of low-carbon structures by Fang, Demi L.

“…In a field where material choice is a predominant impression for reducing emissions, these new insights importantly affirm the prominent role of material efficiency in reducing a structural system’s emissions. While the design space of wild data includes a diverse variety of projects, leveraging a synthetic dataset computed from a bottom-up parametric model helps produce insights specific to the design problem at hand. …”

Structured sparse representations for supervised and unsupervised learning by Zeng, Yijie

“…Finding good representations of data can not only improve the performance of ML systems, but also indicate proper choices of algorithms for different problems. On the other hand, representing the data in an effective and efficient way is challenging, partly due to the intrinsic complexity of the high dimensional data distributions. …”
