A well-conditioned collocation method using a pseudospectral integration matrix by Wang, Li-Lian, Samson, Michael Daniel, Zhao, Xiaodan

“…Moreover, the new basis leads to an exact inverse of the pseudospectral differentiation matrix of the highest derivative (at interior collocation points), which is therefore called the pseudospectral integration matrix (PSIM). …”

Phonon transport in nanowire with contacts : size and doping by Li, Jing, Au Yeung, Tin Cheung, Kam, Chan Hin

“…With the size decreasing, the significant reduction in the number of phonon modes leads to a smaller thermal conductance density. The dopant (Ge) atoms are used to substitute the atom in the wire to study the doping effect. …”

Thickness-dependent evolutions of domain configuration and size in ferroelectric and ferroelectric-ferroelastic films by Huang, C. W., Chen, Z. H., Chen, Lang

“…As the film thickness decreases, the stable domain pattern also changes from a ferroelectric-ferroelastic domain to a ferroelectric one, which leads to the divergence of domain size scaling.…”

15.665B Power and Negotiation, Fall 2002 by Williams, Michele

“…Every time a project falls behind, critical new information is uncovered, or the competitive landscape of your industry changes, you will need to renegotiate tasks, plans, goals, or fees with your key stakeholders. In sum, we will focus both on the analytic tools necessary to become a highly successful negotiator and on the relationship building skills necessary to negotiate deals that will enhance your social capital, your ability to lead others, and your book of loyal clients.…”

Skeleton body pose tracking from efficient three-dimensional motion estimation and volumetric reconstruction by Zheng, Zhang, Seah, Hock Soon

“…Our method utilizes a voxel subject-specific body model, exploits multiple 3D image cues, and incorporates physical constraints into a stochastic particle-based search initialized from the deterministic prediction and stochastic sampling. It leads to a robust 3D pose tracker. Experiments on publicly available sequences show the robustness and accuracy of our approach.…”

A variational master equation approach to quantum dynamics with off-diagonal coupling in a sub-Ohmic environment by Sun, Ke-Wei, Fujihashi, Yuta, Ishizaki, Akihito, Zhao, Yang

“…The off-diagonal coupling leads asymptotically to a thermal equilibrium with a nonzero population difference Pz(t → ∞) ≠ 0, which implies localization of the system, and it also plays a role in restraining coherent dynamics for the sub-Ohmic case. …”

Spin injection properties in trilayer graphene lateral spin valves by Liu, Y. P., Idzuchi, H., Fukuma, Y., Rousseau, O., Otani, Y., Lew, Wen Siang

“…Non-local spin valve signal is clearly observed in the LSV, indicating that spin coherence extends underneath all ferromagnetic contacts.We also show that low-resistivity graphene/MgO/Py junctions enable efficient spin injection and detection in LSV with high applied current density, which leads to large spin accumulation of 120 μV at room temperature. …”

Solvent effect on the folding dynamics and structure of E6-associated protein characterized from Ab initio protein folding simulations by Xu, Zhijun, Lazim, Raudah, Sun, Tiedong, Mei, Ye, Zhang, Dawei

“…The analysis of the free energy landscape indicates that the solvent may determine the folding clusters of E6ap, which subsequently leads to the different final folded structure. The current study demonstrates new insight to the role of solvent in the determination of protein structure and folding dynamics.…”
