Electrode modification by diazonium chemistry : studies on the effect of steric bulk on film thickness, and modified activated carbon cloths for energy storage by Subrata, Arnold

“…One key disadvantage of grafting by diazonium chemistry is the inherent tendency of the grafted film to bear multilayers of organic molecules, which is not desired in most applications requiring modified electrodes. …”

Purely absorptive fifth-order three-dimensional electronic spectroscopy by Zhang, Zhengyang, Wells, Kym Lewis, Tan, Howe-Siang

“…We demonstrate a method to measure a purely absorptive fifth-order three-dimensional (3D) electronic spectrum based on a pulse-shaper assisted pump-probe beam geometry setup. The 3D spectra are measured as a function of two independently controlled population times. …”

OAM-based reconfigurable doppler shifts enable PAPR reduction for multi-carrier doppler diversity by Zhao, Yufei, Ge, Yao, Yang, Zhaojie, Ju, Gaohua, Ma, Lu, Lu, Yilong, Guan, Yong Liang

“…In a recent study, we discovered that even when the transceivers are stationary, a specific spatial Doppler shift can be generated by rotating the wavefront structure of the OAM helical beams. Furthermore, arbitrary integer rotational OAM Doppler shifts can be realized flexibly by using the recently popular digital encoding metasurfaces. …”

Bandwidth analysis of waveguide grating coupler by Xiao, Zhe, Liow, Tsung-Yang, Zhang, Jing, Shum, Perry Ping, Luan, Feng

“…We observe that the bandwidth behavior is not only determined by the grating coupler intrinsic properties, but also affected by the fiber parameters such as position, beam waist and Numerical Aperture. The rigorous bandwidth formula is derived. …”

Small-scale wind energy harvesting using piezoelectric materials by Zhao, Liya

“…A two degree-of-freedom galloping piezoelectric energy harvester (GPEH) is proposed which successfully enhances the output power in low wind speeds. A beam stiffener is employed as an electromechanical coupling magnifier, which is proved to be an easy but greatly effective efficiency enhancing method for energy harvesting from VIV, flutter as well as galloping. …”

论李世民音乐政治观对儒家礼乐思想的继承和转化 = A study on Li Shimin music-politics: inheritance and transformation of Confucian ritual and music thought by 许惠佳 Koh, Hwee Kay

“…To a certain extent, he had inherited Yueji, Confucian ritual and Music thought - which extensively covers the social influence and educational function of music to society – while at the same time, his Music-politics thought bears much resemblance to those of Ji Kang. This article hopes to explore in detail Li Shimin’s Music-politics thought, and by using Yueji as a comparison, analyses how his inheritance and transformation of Confucian Ritual and Music thought played an important role in shaping the Tang Culture.…”
